So, apparently, every rightwing hack is guaranteed a book deal now

Case in point, failed Congressman Alan West.

After getting booted from office after just one term, Crown Forum, a unit of Penquin Random House, decided Americans are just clamoring for more of the dishonorable dischargee.




Here's what the publisher had to say about the irrelevant loser:

“the inspiring life and uncensored views of a veteran, patriot, former Congressman, conservative icon, and warrior for personal liberty. West isn't afraid to speak truth to power, and in this book he'll share the experiences that shaped him and the beliefs he would die to defend.”


You lib'rul media dominance in action, folks.

They are guarenteed sales because Koches and others will make mass purches of the book to push them up the charts.
