actually I pulled the list just to check it out.
Bill O'Reilly is number 3, with "Who's looking out for you", behind Michael Moore "Dude, Where's my country" and Al Franken "Lies and the lying liars who tell them".
Here is the entire list fwiw, I highlighted the books that are centered around negative portrayals of Bush policy. The book "Naked in Baghdad" is an NPR journalists recount of the war so I'll call that one journalism. It looks like 4 Anti-Bush books in the top 10 with 3 more afterward. I am not up on Conservative books but I believe there are two- the Bill O'Reilly book and Persecution by David Limbaugh?
