Just as President Obama is outlining his proposal for curbing executive salaries, Drudge is running a link to an article on the "seven-figure" book deal that PO's campaign manager just got for a book on the campaign. The book will, of course, have the word "audacity" in the title. What I find audacious is that the hack thinks he can get away with accepting this much money for a book about how to get people who will limit the earning potential of people who run businesses that actually create wealth and jobs.
Perhaps there should be limits on book deals for political hacks. While we are at it, I would certainly be in favor of requiring that book money for books by criminals be given to a fund that benefits the victims of crime or their families. Yes, let Mamia Abu Jamal write a book about his life, but give the money to scholarships for policemen who die in the line of duty!
