Christine O'Donnell Book: Delaware Sensation Will 'Set The Record Straight'

Christine O'Donnell fans rejoice, haters lament -- the failed Delaware Senate candidate will soon be back on the media circuit with a new book about her experience during the 2010 election cycle. (Sorry DWTS fans, no big announcement about a possible "Dancing With The Stars" role here).

Perhaps seeking to rise from the ashes like Sarah Palin -- her key endorser in the 2010 GOP primary -- did after her failed vice presidential bid (and subsequent departure from the Alaska governor's post), the book's publisher, St. Martin's Press, has announced that O'Donnell's memoir will include political commentary on the state of affairs in the nation.

She'll "take the reader behind the scenes of her race for the Senate and embody O'Donnell's identification with America's frustrations and concerns with the current political climate," the publisher said in a news release.

O'Donnell tweeted triumphantly Thursday:

You heard the spin about the 2010 elections. It's time to set the record straight & move forward - signed a book deal w St. Martins Press!

1. What the hell
I thought one of the things you needed have in order to write a book was the ability and read and the ability to form a coherent sentence. T.V. and the internet aren't killing the printed book, the fact that any smuck can get a book deal these days.

5. Why are you trying to help this person regain any degree of political relevance by posting a thread
about her on a political board? She's been decimated. I'm just like you.

7. I heard it's a fantasy novel, and a house gets dropped on her sister.
It does NOT take place in Kansas.

11. Ever since Ted Sorensen wrote "Profiles in Courage"
for JFK, these books have been used as props to get their "authors" on the circuit, backed by their publishers and supporters, to promote themselves. Nothing new, it's a tradition.

we can get enough of her on the MSM but I was wrong. She'll be enough of an example where she currently is. Sorry for anyone I offended, particularly residents of Delaware.
