Helen Thomas has a new book!
Crooks and Liars had the story up.

How exciting. It is titled... wait for it...

Watchdogs of Democracy? : The Waning Washington Press Corps and How It Has Failed the Public

Too good! I love you, Helen, and have pre-ordered my copy.

11. Easy bet
She'll be selling about a million to those of us in the blogosphere which will then spark public interest.

Yep, that sucka will be going to the top of the New York Times Bestseller list.

Sweet.

I had no idea this book was in the works. Thanks!

EDIT: I sure hope this means HT is going to do the book-circuit thing. Daily Show, David Letterman, Real Time, Now, Tavis Smiley, and ...THE COLBERT REPORT!!!

24. Maybe they could carry-over the "stalking theme" from the
"press secretary" video. A Thomas appearance on The Colbert Report is rife with possibilities. :-)

10. Can't wait for this one
Edited on Sat May-06-06 06:58 PM by DesertRat
I checked Amazon and it will be released on 6/20. Let's all pre-order it now (it's $15.75 currently, which is 37% off retail) and push it onto the bestseller list before it's released!

13. She's had plenty of time to write it...
considering she's only been allowed to ask one question in like 5 years.

16. yippee
I ordered it and told my library to order it, too.

Check to see if your library has a "suggest a book" option. We need to educate the American public, too, and this is one way to do it.
