Book’s success will be ‘Rigged’
Free pass for Liz because she’s a Dem

So U.S. Sen. Granny Warren has now hired a big-time literary agent to peddle her memoirs, and the working title is “Rigged.”
Rigged? Surely some mistake — wouldn’t “Hammered” be a much more appropriate title?
Or even better, “Faked.”
Somewhere, Scott Brown is shaking his head. Because he knows that the same nastiness and cheap shots that he endured after his million-dollar payday for “Against All Odds” will not be leveled against the author of “Hammered,” er, I mean, “Faked.”
The reason is very simple. The fake Indian is a Democrat. Scott Brown is a Republican.
I can write the reviews of Granny’s book right now, as they’ll run in the Globe (assuming the broadsheet hasn’t followed the Phoenix into well-deserved oblivion by the time the tome comes out in 18 months or so).
“Awe-inspiring ... must-read ... fascinating ... a classic for the ages ... a Mother Jones Pick of the Year. ...”
Certain accolades are reserved exclusively for the Beautiful People — Pulitzer Prizes, Profiles in Courage Awards and, of course, good book reviews.
Actually, Scott Brown didn’t get the proper savaging that most of the Morrissey Boulevard moonbats would have liked to have given him. The problem was, Brown’s $1 million advance was less than Gov. Deval Patrick’s $1.35 million.
Anyway, a month or so after both memoirs came out, Scott’s sales of 15,534 were described in Politico as “disappointing.” Deval sales were approximately 6,000 — a best-seller!
But Deval’s grab for the gelt gave Scott cover. A Globe columnist, writing her own stuff for once, sadly noted that with Deval pulling another major Coke-Texaco type corporate heist, “It’s hard to tag (Brown) as uniquely opportunistic.”
Still, slam him the moonbats did. Somebody on DU.com said Brown’s book was worse than “Mein Kampf.” I think they were kidding, but maybe I’ll tweet that to the Globe and see whether they’ll run with it. Somebody in Plymouth “questioned whether Brown might have fabricated the (sexual-molestation) story.”
Not identifying the molester — “a permanent unsightly stain on his moral character.”
But pretending to be an Indian to steal affirmative-action slots at two Ivy League law schools – nothing to see folks, move along. And I guarantee you the genteel rumpswabs who review Granny’s tome will not bring it up. If you can’t say something good about a fake Indian ...
It’s always been this way. Newt Gingrich in 1995 gets a $4.5 million advance from Rupert Murdoch — he had to give it back. Five years later, Hillary Clinton grabs $8 million — no problemo.
The Globe review noted Brown’s book wasn’t quite as good as “Profiles in Courage” or “Dreams of My Father.” How could it be? Those books were written — er, ghostwritten — by Democrats.
One thing’s for sure. It doesn’t matter how many copies it sells, “Rigged” will be a “best-seller.” It’ll be rigged.
