LePore working on tell-all book that includes 2000 election debacle
Theresa LePore, arguably the most famous -- some would say infamous -- political figure in Palm Beach County, said Wednesday she had started work on a book that includes her take on the 2000 presidential election meltdown.

It is still in the early stages and LePore doesn't yet have a title.

Since leaving office this month, she has begun work on a book proposal, which basically is an in-depth outline of chapters, with enough juicy tidbits to excite a potential publisher.

"There's definitely a book that's in the works," she said, declining to provide details. "As far as the dirt goes, you'll have to wait for the book."

2. No - she'll say terrible things about Gore
and act as if the DeLay thugs were no big deal.

5. That would be out of character.
The only dirt she'd have is about the right, and she is not going to spill that. She'll make stuff up about Gore and the Democrats, drone on about the courage it took to live through the ordeal. The right will lap it up.

3. I suspect it will be a "poor little victim me" faux tell-all...
and how she really was a hero and no one knew it. That woman is despicable and, seeing as she has no scruples like the cabal she supports, she won't even realize how repugnant she really is.

4. I highly doubt she'll be honest re her longtime status as an operative
for BushInc. Think she'll come clean about the actual reason she was working for arms dealer Adnan Kashoggi in the 80s? Stewardess, my ass.

She was a Bush mole then and remains so. There will be no honest revelations from this creature.

6. It's not going to "tell all" , otherwise she would have already
either had "an accident" or "committed suicide". Are you kidding?
No way in hell she'd be allowed to step up and publish the whole
story.

7. Listen to this spin,
to get an idea of how the book will read.

That was the year LePore decided to use large type for the presidential ballot in an attempt to help older voters with poor eyesight. The large number of candidates meant the ballot required two pages for the punch-card voting system then in use.

Some voters said the "butterfly ballot" was so confusing they cast votes for the wrong candidate. During the subsequent recount, Democratic leaders thought LePore hurt their candidate, Al Gore.

8. That book will be in the "Clearance 80% off bin" in two weeks
Few people know or care who she is. Of those that do, the Republicans no longer have use for her, and everybody else knows she is a crook and an incompetent bitch and aren't about to buy this unemployed woman's book.

11. The only way her book will sell is if she exposes the fraud. Otherwise
LePore? LePore who?

9. how's she going to write a book when she screwed up writing
the butterfly ballot big-time? Also, if it was really going to write about the 'dirt', I don't think Shrub and his cronies would allow her to draw breath much longer...
