Despite the article's premise, I'd wager my 401k that Deval no more wrote this book proposal than he's going to write his own book. (Deval's agent, Todd Shuster, also represents ghostwriters and editorial "collaborators"--euphemism for actual-writer-for-person-who-can't-write-or-is-too-important-to-sit-down-and-slog-at-a-computer.).

Get this from the proposal
"A Better Chance has numerous top-drawer corporate sponsors - GE, Sony, Coca-Cola, Toyota, Verizon, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, American Express (and many others) - who are capable of making significant bulk purchases of the book and distributing these copies among employees, business contacts, community leaders, students and others," the governor wrote.

Some of the corporations have interests and business before the state, possibly triggering ethical concerns; Patrick spokesman Sullivan said the governor would make sure that any agreements and promotional efforts abide by state ethics rules.

. . . efforts to persuade big corporations to buy the book by the carton, activities that promise to pull Patrick away from Massachusetts and the State House during the last year of his term.

Heck, if I was a big corporation in Mass I'd buy a carton.

Hey what about Long Beach Pawn Shop a.k.a. “Ameriquest”,
He worked for them too! Ah shoot, they probably can’t afford any right now..Shoot!

Maybe what’s left of the Clinton Crime Family will make reparations with Duval since Bill’s star status campaigning put the racist little Dweeb over the top with our Masshole Moonbats, thus giving him the election.
