So JoeScum is coming up on M$NBComcast in a few

to hawk his book. They are shameless - they doesn't hawk it enough on Morning JoeScum.
I would never buy a book on any history written by him.
Sorry JoeScum the next book I'm reading is Obama's new one.
Just saying.

I'll stick to the experts David Gaub McCullough is an American author, narrator, popular historian, and lecturer. He is a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the United States' highest civilian award.(From Wiki)

Every one of them. It must be written into their contracts. Can i assume that the publisher is also their employer?

The last ten minutes of his show for weeks in end was devoted to pushing his book.

And he is forever defending republicans and knocking Dems.

How did he ever deserve a big morning show anyway?

I tape it and skip through his monologue to see if he has any interesting guests.

That's him - talks over everyone. Loves the sound of his own voice, even more than Peggy Noonan loves her own, and that says something

so I can tolerate any of his negative attributes such as his arrogance or whatever else everyone thinks is wrong with him.

Besides, who doesn't go around to all the morning, daytime, and late night shows hawking their books?
