Cable news talker Bill O'Reilly's latest book, "Who's Looking Out for You?" is on top of the New York Times nonfiction best seller list – hitting the No. 1 spot during the prime Christmas book-buying season.
O'Reilly's book has leaped ahead of screeds by left-wing bomb throwers Al Franken and Michael Moore.
The Fox News host's return to the top of the heap comes as "Living History," the Hillary Clinton memoir that O'Reilly has vowed to outsell, is nowhere to be found on the printed Times list.
Mrs. Clinton's book, which was expected to be a big holiday seller, has even disappeared from the extended list of the nation's 35 top-selling books that the Times posts online.
On Amazon.com, "History" continues to sell relatively well, with the former first lady coming in Sunday at No. 56. But even there, O'Reilly's book is selling at a much brisker pace, with "Who's Looking" turning up in the No. 11 slot.
While Clinton's publisher, Simon & Schuster, says she has sold 1.5 million copies, reports suggest that figure may be inflated by as much as 30 percent.
And while O'Reilly still has a lot of ground to cover before he catches the top Democrat, his return to the top of the Times list suggests he may yet reach his goal.
Clinton's book has been in stores since June 9, and in the ensuing 28 weeks she has devoted considerable time to nearly 40 book signings. "Who's Looking" debuted 13 weeks ago. Earlier this month O'Reilly told his radio audience he has had time for only two book signings.
O'Reilly's publisher, Random House, told the Washington Post on Saturday that "Who's Looking" is in its sixth printing, with nearly 1 million copies shipped to bookstores.
