Kristi Noem’s book is now more dead than her dog.

“No Way Back” was published Tuesday. It came in on amazon at number 44. This morning, it’s number 341.

The book is DOA.

At Barnes & Noble, where it sells for full price at $30, “No Way Back” is in the 700s.

Noem boasted in the book that she killed her dog — shot it — because it didn’t behave. She lied about meeting Korean dictator Kim Jung Un, causing the publisher to delete that section from the book.

Noem’s big interview, with Margaret Brennan on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” was an unmitigated disaster. Brennan shredded the South Dakota governor. It was a shit show.

Noem has apirations of being Donald Trump’s vice presidential nominee. It doesn’t matter and I don’t care, but it’s not going to happen. She makes Sarah Palin seem like a genius.
