Because lord knows, whenever serious historians or scientists or politicians have something important to discuss, they line up around the block to get on coast to coast AM radio...
And of course, they're all just begging to be interviewed by that paragon of journalistic integrity (can I sell you some prostate pills? How about some gold? Been to Vegas, baby??) George Snorey. I didn't listen, so don't know if George has had Hunt on, but if he did, the interview would go something like this:
Hunt: So, my Dad was in Miami-
George-interrupting-Hey, I was in Miami last year! Fabulous place! Have you seen the Art Deco down there?
Hunt: Er...no. But let me tell you about the grassy knoll-
George-interrupting again- Hey, I got a new riding lawnmower! Wanna go for a ride?
George Snorey is an insomniacs dream! He's so bad at what he does he makes ya snore!
Upstate Blue blood family/money anyway. Money was not an issue.
Additionally he will appear on an upcoming episode of CBS 60 Minutes, is writing a book, has written a screenplay with Eric Hamburg (Screenwriter / Co-Producer with Oliver Stone on the feature film "Nixon") and is in negotiations for production of a feature film about his father's career, their life together and the dark secrets of the C.I.A.
;)
Hehehe.
"His memoir..is to be published by John Wiley & Sons, March 2007."
I suspect the book isn't selling so it's the usual "stir up the pot - can't be proven" junk that seems to preceed every book written by a loser that otherwise wouldn't sell more than 10 copies.
“How about a plot to cash in on having a famous father who actually did anything,”
Bingo ! We have a winner!
