You knew this was coming, didn’t you?
From The New York Times:
With his sustained blitz of television appearances and speeches, former Vice President Dick Cheney has established himself as perhaps the leading Republican voice against President Obama.
Not a bad time, then, to be in the market for a multimillion-dollar book contract.
Mr. Cheney is actively shopping a memoir about his life in politics and service in four presidential administrations, a work that would add to what is already an unusually dense collection of post-Bush-presidency memoirs that will offer a collective rebuttal to the many harshly critical works released while the writers were in office and beyond.
The article says that Cheney is looking for more than $2 million for the book, but will likely get a lower amount, given that most of the American public rate him just behind scabies in terms of appeal. Let’s hope that one day he will have to put this advance toward lawyer’s fees.
Bonus punchline! One of the book’s big revelations: Satan is shorter than you’d think.
Don’t be demeaning scabies that way. Cheney is a lot less popular.
A fine work like this needs a catchy title. How about:
CHENEY
From Draft Dodger to War Criminal
Is there really a portion of the populace that wants to read what Cheney has to say? I’m not so sure.
