I couldn't figure out why the Dick-ster was doing the talk shows, he never gave a damn about what people thought of him. Now I see: He was trying to run up the price for his book.

I would never buy or read it of course, but I can't wait for Jon Stewart doing dramatic reading on the Daily Show

The only satisfying thing about this article is the knowledge that Cheney's getting a pittance compared to previous such vultures. Nevertheless, we should sue and force him to disgorge profits.

I agree, and Simon and Schuster should be boycotted as well.

Agreed. I would not use that book for toilet paper if you gave it to me.

But I am going to buy it as soon as it comes out. Convert it to PDF and put in P2P and torrents right away.

If I can make them lose even one sale by giving it away free you can bet your bottom dollar I will think it was worth the work and the risk.

You know, when his victims families sued OJ Sompson for the money on his "If I did It" book, that kind of ruined it for him, didn't it?
Someone, of us millions of Americans, should be filing a Class Action lawsuit against Cheney . His 2 million on this book would be barely a start on what he owes us..
