Publishers Salivate Over Rove Book Deal

First Posted: 03/28/08 03:44 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 01:10 PM ET

Washington Post:

HE'S THE MAN that Democrats blame for everything from Hurricane Katrina to the breakup of Britney and K-Fed. He's the supposed puppet master of the 43rd president's administration; Bush's brain, he's been called. And now, Karl Rove has set imaginations ablaze with his recent comments that he plans to teach and write a book.

Would Rove, the nation's man of mystery who is legendary for his loyalty, actually write a book that revealed life behind the White House's wrought-iron fence? That's the question publishers are asking themselves, and eager to take a chance on.

Just one book. If it details all of his crimes he will at least need a trilogy.

A Rove book will sell about as well as the Cheney book by Stephen Hayes sold---meaning not very well. A majority of the country believes Rove is a serial liar--why should they want to read self-serving crud put between the covers of a book?

"turdblossom" is the stink of a fart that emanates from a turd, which is a metaphor for bullshit.

that is why Bush calls Rove "turdblossom."

Why don't they just publish a book and claim that Rove wrote it as he is a cheat and a liar and everything in his book will be a lie from start to finish anyway.

Anything short of a full confession admitting to multiple election fraud violations, influence peddling, and war profiteering will make Rove's book unworthy for any other use except to wipe my ass.

They know it will be a best seller.

Publishers just seem to like to lose money, how many of these multi-million $ events have produced a profit for anyone except the author and the agent?

Of course. It will be full of intellectual smut and vulgarity.

"If I Did It" redux.

Mr Rove & the publisher which wins the right to publish Mr Rove's book would do well to hire OJ's ghostwriter or someone else who has worked with criminals to produce a best seller.

This book will have to be fiction. The truth would land him, plus many others in this administration in PRISON. I, for one, would not waste my money on this. Rove is one of the people responsible for the destrucion of this once great country. We are the laughing stock of the world, with a moron in charge. Cheney is pushing to invade Iran now. Let them send all their relatives to help in Iraq first. Rove's son is eligable, isn't he? The true damage from this administration has not been fully uncovered at this point. Rove should go away, until he is made to pay for all the damage he helped create.

Exactly! I couldn't put it better!!

Agree. My money is too valuable to be wasted on Rove. We've already lost too much to these people to give them more. Not at all interested in it because it won't have an ounce of truth.
