Hugh Hewitt, really? Are you sure? That is _so_ a Fred Barnes title.

But snicker not: If McCain-Palin win, Hewitt will have no trouble finding a publisher willing to get the book out by January. Heck, for about $25,000 up front, Hewitt could produce the book himself in Iceland on that schedule and keep the profits to himself. If he, you know, actually believed in entrepreneurial capitalism.

I guess the title sounded better than "How Sarah Palin Drove Away Moderate and Independent Swing Voters and Is a Cancer on the GOP."

It's not even the part about assuming a Palin win - I can't really fault even a hack like Hewitt for wanting to get a jump on writing a post-election book.  But "saved America"?  Isn't a little early to predict glory for the next administration, since they haven't actually done anything yet?

You mean that not even Regnery will bite?  Wow.

Maybe he can publish it in serial on the Human Events website to give it a Dickensian touch.  I'm sure Coulter will give it a blurb. Or he could publish it more rightly as a fantasy book alongside Newt's Civil War and WWII books. That sounds about right.

How Palin won the election? Seems keeping voters from voting was part of the formula:

Publishing industry insider information: the reason there is a delay is because there are too *many* outlets that want to publish this stunning oeuvre of unparalleled syntax.  The litigation is what is holding things up, I swear.

Damn, I'm curious to see what praytell the Mayor of Frostbite Falls has saved us from.  Darwin?  Russia?  Wolves with anti-aircraft capabilities?  The Strunk & White grammar book?

"It is a truth, universally acknowledged in this great land of ours by the Joe Hockey-Pucks and Sally Sixshooters who make this great land a land that is really great, that these end times are the best of times for this blessed Republican Republic on top of a hill somewhere and the worst of times for people who think this most perfect unity is not perfect enough to refrain from bombing by bombs and other things that unhappy people, who are all alike in that they are all Democrats who are unhappy that America is not surrendering to their terrorist friends and friends of friends and friends with benefits, think is not great but that happy people, shining like the City on the Hill (that is not Capital Hill), think is super-fantastic, except for all those unhappy people who don't acknowledge the universal truth that a young f***g redneck with an overactive libido who thinks that birth control is for chumps must be in need of teenage bride with good parents who will be living in the Naval Observery or preferably an undisclosed location where the MSM and the BBC and the CNN and the CIA can't find her - the kind of thing, frankly, that would make me grim about the mouth if I weren't so gosh-darned happy all the time."

I'd actually like to see it get published somewhere just to see how he comes to his conclusion.

I mean, it would be nice to see the rhetoric that's used in a book like this, with it's substance stripped away, again if things keep going the way they are election-wise.  Plus, it would be fun to use the book as background for questions on his call-in talk show "Hugh, in your book in pg. 56, you said 'blah blah blah'  was the second reason Palin was the idea choice for VP, could you clarify your rationale for this reason?  I mean, this reason shows an embarrassing lack of understanding if left further unexplained".  And so on.

What's really interesting is that he's still trying, despite what at this time, appear to be long odds for a Palin victory.

Upcoming books by Hugh Hewitt:

"Earth: Flatter Than You Think!"

"Cigarettes' Bad Rap"

"Our Underpaid CEOs"

"Melanoma Makes You Smarter"

"The 2008 New York Mets: Team of Destiny"

yard, I think you have an old copy of the list. That last title has been changed to,

"How the 2008 Chicago Cubs Won the World Series ... and Saved Baseball"

It comes out on October 31. Cover blurb by George Will.

SCHADENFREUDE WATCH: HEWITT EDITION.... In 2006, a few months before the midterm elections, conservative blogger/talk-show host Hugh Hewitt published a book on the drive for a "permanent Republican majority." Soon after, Democrats won a sweeping, historic

Rhubarbs,

If the Rays (Goddess bless 'em!) win it all, I think we can all assume the Apocalypse has begun.

Forget Hewitt: Doesn't this have disaster written all over it?

Palin at a Flyers Game + McCain down 10+ already in PA + Philly as uber-Democratic city + Typical drunk, surly Philly fans that even booed Santa Clause = ....

Who thought this was a good idea?

Crock, I read about the Palinator dropping the puck and thought the exact same thing.

I don't want to even imagine what could happen if she decided to blow kisses from the Zamboni.

Well...okay, I DO want to imagine. Regardless...

Hey, careful there, I'm already working in "How the Rays Won the World Series...and Saved Baseball."  Actually, in my book they only have to win the ALCS to save baseball.  By the way, anybody wanna suggest a publisher?  

But seriously, I do have this morbid curiosity about just how Palin "won" the election, and just what America was being "saved" from...but not enough to spend actual money on such a book, mind you.  Reading or listening to such hate people tends to cause such logic and/or rational thinking functions as I have to shut down my eyes or ears until the book/article or the person goes away...

Easy -- she won the election by beating facts to death with belief, and "saved" America from the shame of a black couple having sex in the White House!
