Threshold Will Publish Karl Rove's Memoirs

After weeks of speculation, it's finally official: Karl Rove's memoirs will be published by Threshold Editions, the conservative-minded imprint of Simon & Schuster's Pocket Books overseen by GOP strategist Mary Matalin.
Earlier this week, Mr. Rove and his representative in the deal, DC lawyer Robert Barnett, were deciding between Threshold and Free Press, another imprint of Simon & Schuster.
In the press release announcing the deal, Mr. Rove is quoted as saying, "I look forward to writing about my role in George W. Bush's campaigns and in his consequential and contentious Presidency. The book will be a candid, careful look at how he got there and what his Administration did once in office. It will tackle and shed light on important events and big controversies, spell out their implications for America and set the record straight."
Naturally, the announcement made no mention of how much Threshold is paying Mr. Rove for the book, but you can be sure there will be plenty of guessing in the next few days.

















If Mary Matalin is involved in the production of Karl Rove's memoirs, they won't need to waste too many trees. Knowing Karl's penchant for sanitizing the truth, she can just print the whole thing on Kotex.
How he got there? Duh! Dirty tricks.
What his Administration did once he was in office? Duh! Dirty tricks.
I suggest Rove devote a chapter to, Jeff Gannon. Ha! "Jeff who?" What I want to know, is how Jeff Gannon got there. We all know how Rove got there, but it would be interesting to know how Jeff Gannon got there. Gannon's credentials were on the small side. Very, very small!
What section of the bookstore should I look for this book.
I find it hard to believe that there will be any truth in the whole book. Who would read it? Carl Rove is one of the most dishonest individuals alive. I wonder if he will address his sexual preferences? or how he wins elections. No I don't believe Carl is capable of telling the truth.
Finally it doesn't say how much he got for the "book". I had read that he was not getting his asking price.
"I don't recall."
"Hillary will get the endorsement -- heh heh heh."
"Smear 'em high, smear 'em low, just smear 'em."
The End
"I don't recall."

Ooops. Sorry. Trigger cursor.
A good title for this book could be "Book of Lies". Rove could never write the truth because it would put him in jail along with Bush and Cheney.
One of the few moments of savagery in the Bible that never offended me is the description of Queen Jezebel thrown from the walls where "the dogs licked her blood." In my old age, I understand that Jezebel got a bad rep. But when the dogs lick Queen Karl's blood and lift their legs on his bones, it will be justice. The American Goebbels: What a legacy.
Certainly a far cry from the $3.5 Million that Karl initially thought his bon mots were worth. At least the publishing world knows it will have to hold its nose as it "releases" this publication. Too bad Judith Regan is out of the biz .... she gave OJ Simpson $8 Million for a slasher .... same sort of a book we can expect here, no?
I cannot hardly wait to hear first hand the exploits of this distinguished American.
"What section of the bookstore should I look for this book?"
My best guess is that it will be right beside Mary Cheney's book. Each book will have an orange tag on them. On a wall somewhere you'll see a price code sign explaining the prices for different color codes. Ususally an orange tag always corresponds to the lowest price. Books with orange tags usually sell for $.99 cents.
If I owned a bookstore I might have a pink tag on the book, too.
I agree that Rove is dishonest. Not only that. he's shady. When he was at his gay father's funeral in California, he was plotting stragegies to deny gays and lesbians equal rights to further his right-wing agenda.
"Book of Lies" would be a good title for this book.
I hope in the future Rove can be a used car salesman. If not, working for mortgage company would be a good fit.
LOL! Rove convinces Matalin to publish his bood.
Isn't that convient.
A FRIEND helps Rove get his lies published.
How they stick together.
I don't think it would have happened any other way.
It will probably be the second book in the George W. Bush Library.
The first being "My Pet Goat."
"A friend helps Rove get his lies published. How they stick together?"
That's right! So right! Just like birds of a FEATHER stick together.
I think I know the perfect title for Rove's book: DRAGNET.
It's my understanding that Rove has attended a few drag shows in Washington, before he was a household name. In the first year, or so, of the Bush Administration he was not in the national limelight. Now, he's both famous and infamous.
For the book cover photo, Rove could be dressed in drag with a nice FEATHER boa. Birds of a feather do stick together. This guy needs lots and lots of feathers.
A wig would be a nice touch. What drag queen doesn't wear a wig? A dragnet drag queen. Maybe he can borrow a wig from Za Za Gabor when Rove's in the slammer. Surely Rove is going to go to the slammer at some future point. Is Za Za Gabor really jail bait and a criminal?
Something is wrong in America when Za Za Gabor is hauled off to the slammer, and Bush and his cronies never spend a day in jail.

Sorry for the double post. I hit the "submit" box and nothing happened, so I hit it again. Something happened. That something was a double post.
Haul me off to the slammer. I'm a worst criminal than Karl Rove. Maybe I can meet Za Za Gabor.
Mary Matalin and Karl Rove write a book.
Call your local farmers. Tell 'em to expect tons of fertilizer for the South 40.
Will it be called, "The lies I Got America To Believe?"
Lies and the Republican Liars who tell them?
Wow....I thought this would go the way of "If I Did It". Rove sure reminds me of O.J. Simpson.
Like "If I Did It", it should be untouchable except as a source of revenue for families affected losing loved ones in Iraq, as the Goldmans received from O.J.'s book.
The book will be a candid, careful look at how he got there and what his Administration did once in office.
Wow....I thought this would go the way
