just 2,000 copies were sold in the first week

“It confirms that the deeply unpopular former New Jersey governor remains, first and foremost, a media creation.”
“How Christie was able to sell so few books after lining up so much national media attention during his marketing roll-out — “This Week” “The View,” “Fox & Friends,” along with Fox News, Fox Business, the Daily Show, HBO twice, and CNBC — represents an extraordinary disconnect.”
"The larger point here isn’t that Christie’s book stiffed — lots of authors swing and miss. What’s disturbing is how the media keep pretending Christie is somebody who matters in American politics. Americans see through Christie, yet the press worships him"

“The recent frenzy of gotcha stories represents an entirely new way of covering a sitting vice president. None of the white men who previously served in that position were put under this kind of a microscope, and certainly not months into their first term.”
