Oh! Now he's asking for money to pursue this suit.
Didn't she just get a bunch of $$ for a book deal?
I guess they won't to keep THEIR money and portray themselves as doing this for the country...........LOL.
Based on that little blurb, Val did NOT blow me over with her analytical skills!
Alot of people keep referring to how much Wilson made from his book, The Politics of "Truth". Last summer I came across a little article about how well that book actually did --again showing up Wilson's habit of lying about everything. My husband had seen him on with Matthews where he was asked about how book sales were going and his answer was "Good and they're going to get better." I tried to find the transcript but couldn't. Anyway here is the article that I did find:
It's from an article titled "Quest for Best Seller means Lots of Returned Books", June 3, 2005. (I'm sorry, I meant to write down the name of the author but I forgot. He's from the Wall Street Journal.)
"Even mid-size publishers sometimes reach for the brass ring.In April 2004, Avalon publishing Group Inc. issued "The Politics of Truth:Inside the Lies that led to War and Betrayed my Wife's CIA Identity," by former US Ambassador Joseph Wilson. At the time books about politics were selling well, and Avalon, eager to deliver as many copies as quickly as possible, printed a 100,000. Shortly before the publication date, April 30, it went back to the presses for an additional 25,000.
Just as the book was hitting the best-seller lists, public attention switched to allegations of abuse at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison. Although "The Politics of Truth" enjoyed good sales, Charles Winton, Avalon's CEO, says he's now sitting on 60,000 copies, including many that have been returned. The second printing cost at least $60,000, he says, none of which has yet recouped. Mr. Winton says he had to gamble: "You sell a lot of books, but there's also a lot of waste."

So basically only slightly more than half of the books printed were sold and I would guess that a lot of those are sitting on dusty shelves in libraries. I wonder if the new publisher for Val's book knows this.
