Mary Matalin may publish Rove’s memoir.
Karl Rove has recently received attention for shopping his high-profile memoir to publishers in an auction that kicked off on Dec. 6. He was expected to receive a “seven-figure payday.” Yet despite the initial buzz, the New York Observer reports that Rove may end up going with GOP strategist Mary Matalin’s Threshold Editions. His other option is Free Press, a formerly “fiercely conservative shop that now specializes in general narrative nonfiction.”

Should that be, ‘general neo-con fiction’?
December 19th, 2007 at 11:13 amTwo rats grooming each others’ fur. Hey guys–don’t forget to really get in there around the sphincter–it’s pretty crusty down there.
December 19th, 2007 at 11:16 amA 16 year old can write his own book, set up his own publishing company with his parents, eventually get a major book deal and then a movie (Eragon), and Karl Rove has to keep hunting and settle for second tier publishers….
maybe there is justice in the world….
December 19th, 2007 at 11:18 amSome hi-lites from the book no doubt to be edited out.
As a 21-year old Young Republican in Texas, Karl Rove pimped for Richard Nixon’s chief political dirty tricks strategist Donald Segretti .
December 19th, 2007 at 11:19 amPlanter of disinformation in the media
Rove is a tech-savvy puppet master for Bush.
Rove gave us this: McCain was a stoolie for his captors in the Hanoi Hilton (this from a lunatic self-promoting Vietnam “veteran”); McCain fathered a black daughter out of wedlock (a despicable reference to McCain’s adopted Bangladeshi daughter); Cindy McCain’s drug “abuse”; and even McCain’s “homosexuality.”
Karl Rove was a paid consultant to Philip Morris from 1991 to 1996
A February 15, 2000 article from the New York Times revealed that Rove, helped draft a 1996 push poll against then-Texas Attorney General Dan Morales in an attempt to pressure Morales out of filing a lawsuit against the major American Tobacco companies. The push poll was financed by tobacco companies. According to the article, George W. Bush, then Governor of Texas, threatened to fire any campaign staffer found to be involved with push polls. Bush’s spokesman, Ari Fleisher, denied that Mr. Rove was involved in drafting the poll questions, saying Rove only reviewed a fifth draft of the survey. But in a deposition given in 1997, Rove admitted he had offered suggestions about the poll’s questions.
Bush threatened to fire those connected to the outing of Plame also. Same old story.
December 19th, 2007 at 11:24 amJust imagine the wretched odor filling the room when these 2 get together. Fromunda and sulphur.
December 19th, 2007 at 11:25 amWill Rove talk about how he actively avoided service in Vietnam even though he fervantly supported the war? I HIGHLY doubt it.
December 19th, 2007 at 11:30 amMatalin looks like Rove acts.
Turdblossom is having credibility issues? Say it ain’t so!

December 19th, 2007 at 11:49 amEventually, Rove will be reduced to using a vanity press and publishing the thing himself. He can get fancy binding, with gold-edged paper and a little ribbon for a placemark and give them to all, er, both of his friends.

December 19th, 2007 at 11:56 amCome on Chuck, lighten up little guy. Menehune’s characterization of those two pukes as rats grooming each other is a great visualization, and OxyCon is just pointing out the level of respect we have for KKKarl.
I like to think of KKKarl as a queen bee and you sycophants the drones he commands with his release of pheremones. The pudgy fat maggot lifts his leg and emits a cloud of pheremones and you brainless sexless drones do his bidding.
You want wit and jokes? Here’s one for you “Iraq didn’t have WMD’s and we killed the brown bastards after all!” HAHAHAHAHA… GWB.
December 19th, 2007 at 12:01 pmOne wishes that some of these guys would just go away, but no.
First you have to hear about them pitching their books, then all about their huge signing deals, then the book promo tours with media appearances, sweet deals at think tanks and/or lobbying firms, which means more appearances in the media. They screw us and then get rewarded!
Soon they’ll buy up all of the textbook companies and revise history to their liking!

December 19th, 2007 at 12:13 pmOther quotes from the original Sir Charles James Napier (Commander-in-Chief in India and Pakistan for the British Army in the mid 19th century)
on insurgencies:
“The best way to quiet a country is a good thrashing, followed by great kindness afterwards. Even the wildest chaps are thus tamed”
“the human mind is never better disposed to gratitude and attachment than when softened by fear”
“Come here instantly. Come here at once and make your submission, or I will in a week tear you from the midst of your village and hang you”
How ironic that this name is now being used by our resident piss-soaked troll!

Charles James Napier was best know for ending the barbaric Hindu practice of Sati, the custom of burning widows alive on the funeral pyres of their husbands.
His famous statement:
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”
…Stands to this day as a scathing commentary on the stupidity of cultural relativism. By ending this horific practice, Napier did more for the women of India a day than Ghandi did in a lifetime.
Napier was also a master of squashing Islamic insurgencies, something which we could learn a lesson from today.
December 19th, 2007 at 12:38 pmBy ending this horific practice, Napier did more for the women of India a day than Ghandi did in a lifetime.

Unfortunately, an unprovable and therefore meaningless opinion, but nonetheless very self-important.
But, hey, yer a troll. Since Brusch invaded Iraq, the beheadings of Iraqi women are up dramatically. Go figure.
BTW it’s “horrific” and “Gandhi”
December 19th, 2007 at 12:45 pmKarl Rove, the most irrelevant person in the world today. We know how he operates. He’s an athiest who professes that the Rethug candidate appeal to the Jesus freaks by insisting God speaks thru him. He convinces the Jesus freaks that abortion is the norm for the Dems. He professes that the candidate reel in the selfish, rich voter, by threatening that the Dems will raise taxes. For the rest of the potential voters, he invents shocking, vicious untruths, that scares voters into not touching those candidates. Rove professes secrecy in everything, and destroys all evidence that could shine light on the truth. How can he possibly think that anyone would waste their time or money on anything he puts out in print? Don’t insult our intelligence you lying, cheating scum bag!
December 19th, 2007 at 12:45 pmMaybe Rove should give these people a try.

Wouldn’t he do better going with a house that specializes in fiction?

You’d better watch it, or you’ll get kicked off the team, like John McCain.

It doesn’t “piss me off” Annie, I was merely calling attention to the demented hatred that passes for insightful commentary at this website.
December 19th, 2007 at 2:54 pmthat’s a pretty broad generalization, Charles, but I could see why you like glossing past my posts.
December 19th, 2007 at 3:06 pmtombaker,
Your post at #54 is incoherent.
As for namejacking, I’m against it.
December 19th, 2007 at 3:09 pmit’s every bit as coherent as your repeated conjectures
you can’t just stay locked in a pre 9/11 mindset forever, or we’ll never get enough people tortured to be safe.

December 19th, 2007 at 3:40 pmCharles James Napier — I note you don’t care for what’s being written here. Why then do you keep reading it, and posting your own tired comments? I’m sure there’s an Anne Coulter book in the $3.00 bin of your local bookstore you’re itching to read. Karl Rove’s book will be there too about a week after it’s published, so don’t run out and buy it the first day.
December 19th, 2007 at 4:01 pmFU, Charlie. I guess you ought to recognize “demented hatred” – since that’s how you regard the Clintons, eh?
But you’re right, Charlie. I do hate you. However, the difference between what I feel for you and your ilk is that, unlike your blind, unreasoning hatred toward the Clintons, there’s nothing in the least “demented” about what I feel toward you.
I’ve got very good, sound reasons why I hate your cowardly, stinking guts.
And I don’t hate you personally, but but I do hate everything you stand for: torture, bigotry, endless war, trashing the Constitution, etc. etc. etc.
December 19th, 2007 at 4:40 pmNobody wants to buy’s traitor Rove’s book of lies.
December 19th, 2007 at 4:41 pmoops.. nobody want to buy traitor Rove’s book of lies.
December 19th, 2007 at 4:41 pmRead that Ann Coulter’s new book isn’t doing too well, either. Maybe the public is getting tired and bored with their bs.
December 19th, 2007 at 5:04 pmWill Mary Matalin give him 7 figures? Yes–$10,000.00. Maybe it could be published on the web.
Karl, Your timing slipped. You waited too long old man.
December 19th, 2007 at 7:25 pmDelightful.
The thought of that blubbery, pale, fuzzy pud with “Teh Math,” schlepping his worthless “book” of bu$hit around to publishers and auctions, and no takers but the wingnut welfare pity crowd. It just gives me the giggles. :-PPPPPPPPP
