There was nothing worth listening to on a short segment of my 90-minute drive today, so I did what I normally don’t do: switched the radio to AM talk during non-Rush hours. I stumbled upon a local channel interviewing Edward Klein about his new book, The Amateur, a nonfiction journalist’s work about, er, Fred-6.
It’s fascinating, and I hate using that word (except I use it all the time).
Klein’s interview prompted me to buy the book, and what’s interesting about his talking about it and about reading the work in question is this hastily-assembled maxim: The more people get to know Fred-6, the less they like Fred-6, especially Donkeys.
I’m not that far into the book yet – I just bought it a couple hours ago – but I suspect that The Amateur is what the media wanted Game Change to be: an inside-DC account of what the American electorate hath wrought.
Also, as I was telling Xtina: “When Bill Clinton is the most magnanimous, deep-thinking person in a book about American politics, you know there is a fan, there is shit, and the two are fighting like dogs.”
More/less. Buy it – read it – enjoy. /brex
