How to Filet a lame duck
In the waning months of a presidency, many former loyal rodents decide to cash in on their association with the prez and serve up a book or two of flaming lame duck. There are several reasons-Money being the primary-and yet I can’t help but feel bad for the sliced and diced foul being served up for the opponents literary consumption.
On one hand you elevate people to the center of attention, and then they defecate on you for cash, book deals and speaking tours.
I’m glad I’m not the president, not running for president and not related or familiar with anybody likely to become president. Becoming president is like playing the reality show survivor. You have to out lie, out whore, out twist and out spend the other knuckle heads. Then the lame and weak members of the posse swoop in and pick over the carcass and win the prize.
So, I expect more servings of flaming George Bush to appear in the next months and years-the Looney left is salivating for the books and movies.
