Mary’s Money

Posted by on May 17 at 15:13 PM

John Aravosis tears Mary Cheney a million new assholes—and Simon & Schuster too, which paid Mary Cheney a million dollars for her bullshit memoir.

Simon & Schuster, a massive book publishing company that clearly hasn’t been around this long by wasting its money, reportedly pays the daughter of the sitting vice president a $1 million advance on a book that, well, doesn’t seem to do much of anything.

I just went with Joe to the local bookstore and we took a look at Mary’s book. Sure, we’d read the reviews that said Mary’s book had nothing new in it, but we thougt we’d take a look for ourselves.

What we found was 200 sparse pages of Mary’s reflections on the 2000 and 2004 elections, and some mentions of her gayness. What we did not find is a book that anyone in their right mind would pay $1 million for.

Go read the whole thing.

Who would buy this? Gay people? Maybe a few (very few) but I doubt Repuglicans want to read this. All of the Cheneys are whores.

I am not surprised that Mary Cheney got a $1 million advance for a worthless autobiography. It provides a cover story for the latest direct infusion of corporate money into the Cheney vault.

Military higher-ups employ a comparable cover story when they embezzle thousands of dollars and say the money was all spent on $700 toilet seats.

god, what a cunt.

The gall of Mary Cheney to tell a story that's not been fermented by years of 24/7 Bush-Cheney-GOP bashing rage.

There's only one thing to do. Mary's license to practice lesbianism simply must be revoked!

My cable said that Mary Cheney was going to be the guest on last night's Daily Show but she was a no-show. Is my cable wrong, or is she cancelling book-tour dates (read: running in fear of the backlash)?
