Swift boat smear: The lengths wingers will go to feel like they're victims 

Let the whining begin!

America's two biggest bookstore chains, Barnes & Noble and Borders, say customers are accusing them of political bias as the retailers struggle to keep up with demand for a bestseller that questions Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's military service in Vietnam.

Well, why isn't the noxious little screed "Unfit for Command" in stock? No, it's not because of the usual winger best-seller-list-padding bulk buys—it's because winger publisher Regnery (back) didn't print enough copies:

The publisher, Regnery Publishing Inc. of Washington , rushed the book to stores ahead of schedule without printing nearly enough to meet the demand.

As a result—this would be the concept of "cause and effect," for those of you wingers who have problems with enlightenment ideas like "evidence" and "reasoning"—there aren't enough copies in the stores:

Regnery Publishing cut [Barnes & Nobles] original order in half.

So. The wingers accuse the bookstores of bias (that's rich!) because their own darling, Regnery publisher, kept supplies low. Could this have been a marketing ploy by Regnery to suck up airtime on the talk shows, and boost demand? I wonder!
