Hewitt almost strikes again
Via Chris Orr comes word of potentially the greatest book to be published on the 2008 Presidential election: Hugh Hewitt’s “How Sarah Palin Won the Election … and Saved America”. Doesn’t that sound like a book you’d like to read? Unfortunately it looks like it won’t be published:
One campaign book that has already bitten the dust is right-wing radio host Hugh Hewitt’s How Sarah Palin Won the Election … and Saved America, which the literary agent Curtis Yates sent to publishers in New York last week.
When Media Mob reached Mr. Yates by phone on Monday, he’d already given up on trying to sell the book.
“The idea was to tell the story behind the effect that Sarah Palin has had on this election and how it is and why it is that she has basically turned the election around for McCain and why it is that she is resonating with so many people in the country,” he said. “The intent was to finish the book by a week after the election, and to have it out before the inauguration.”
Was that the plan regardless of who won?
“The book obviously presumed [a McCain-Palin victory],” Mr. Yates said, “but the theory was that her impact on this election will have a lasting effect regardless—that she’s not gonna go anywhere, that she’s just gonna be a figure in G.O.P. politics going forward.”
That crazy Hewitt. As Oliver notes, this is the same guy who’s last two books were about how the Republicans were about to have a permanent majority and how Mitt Romney was going to be the Republican nominee. I think that says all you need to know about Mr. Hewitt’s intelligence levels.
Holla at me
