All the fiction that's fit to print

Senator Teddy Kennedy has been signed to compose his memoirs.

Hachette Book Group USA (what an ironic name), will publish Kennedy's prose. Kennedy hopes that his "reflections can contribute to a deeper understanding of many events in the history of this great country and to a more in-depth picture of an American family."


Yeah, right, Teddy. All people want to hear about is the truth and you won't write it. Memoirs are based on selected moments in a person's life as that person "experienced" them.

Why do I foresee a memory clouded by the haze that's surrounded the Senator throughout his 45 years in the Senate?


(H/T: Boston.com)


Got any ideas for the book title?

"One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beeeerr".. oh wait, can't use that one, it's a song by George Thorogood.

More like "Many Bourbons, Many Scotches and Many Beers", then offering to drive any unattached young ladies home.

And they have paid around $9/8 million for the "privilege" - WTF!

How about "This is how I WOULD have done it if I did it", ala OJ Simpson.

"Driving Miss Mary"

Skul

Good one! (Good song, too.)

DBA:

HA! Man, if you are a liberal and still hated by a European, then you are a serious f'k up! And that is just what he is! HA! I wonder if the book will even sell. I'm guessing 20 years ago it would have, but not so much these days.

Attention people who feel compelled to waste millions on a lame book: I will gladly take the same amount of money to produce the same type of drivel. Really.

". . .And then how my papa Joe covered it all up!"

Skul:
Darkly funny! Heh.
