It says variously that the author is a journalist or a journalism professor. So it could have been him at an earlier stage of his career. Evidently the villain of the book is J. Edgar Hoover.

NEW YORK -- Did "firing" Ann Coulter lead to the departure of the editor who axed her?
"I don't think that had anything to do with it," said Bob Unger, who -- in what he described as a "mutual" decision -- stepped down Monday as executive editor of the Centre Daily Times in State College, Pa.
Early last month, Unger dropped Coulter from the newspaper's column lineup, arguing that her syndicated commentary was "mean." This decision infuriated many fans of the conservative Coulter, though Unger said "80 to 85%" of the more than 5,000 e-mails he ultimately received supported his decision. "I know that doesn't represent the general population, but it represented the people who wrote me," he told E&P Online.
So why did Unger and the Centre Daily Times part ways? Unger, who was reached at home, said there was "a difference in style and objective" between him and Henry Haitz, who became publisher of the paper several months ago. Unger declined to give specifics, noting that he was not allowed to do so under his separation agreement.
Unger, who had been executive editor for 2 1/2 years, said he had no immediate job prospects but was working on his second novel.
Notice that he didn't claim that his first novel was published, only that he was working on the second. poor baby..

Ann sure has the Kennedy mafia nailed properly!
Bingo!
Genuine mutual partings have a certain cadence, an aura of inevitability that grows inexorably over time between principals who may not like each other, but do respect each other.
People, both inside and outside the loop, 'see it coming'.
This no-power, impotent shithead was summarily fired.
Shocked
"the entire Kennedy clan as a collection of "heroin addicts, convicted killers, cheaters, bootleggers and dissolute drunks," Ann sure has the Kennedy mafia nailed properly!The ORIGINAL Ann Coulter column from which this quote was taken can be found at: http://www.anncoulter.org/columns/2002/082802.htm.
Here is a sample:
Battered Republican Syndrome
August 28 , 2002
FOR MY ESCAPIST summer reading at the beach this week, I've been flipping through Sean Hannity's fabulous new book, "Let Freedom Ring." It's a fine book, with many excellent illustrations of how consistently wrong liberals have been for half a century, give or take a few years. But I must take issue with Sean on one point.
Perplexingly, he writes: "The vast majority of liberals are good, sincere, well-meaning people." This cheery bonhomie is beginning to sound like the mantra about the "vast majority" of Muslims being peaceful. (And has produced the same good results!) I think it's time to drop the infernal nonsense about liberals being well-intentioned but misguided. In the spirit of Hannityesque magnanimity, I will say that there is only one thing wrong with liberals: They're no good...

...Bush has invited Sen. Teddy Kennedy to the White House for movie night (to watch the Kennedy hagiography "Thirteen Days"), brought him over to discuss education several times, named a federal building after one brother and gushingly praised the other.
The adulterous drunk who cheated at Harvard and killed a girl at Chappaquiddick responded to these overtures by attacking Bush. "It takes more than good intentions to make a difference," Kennedy said. Asked about Bush's intelligence (a meaningless concept in college admissions but a scientifically provable quality in the cases of Republican presidents and death-row inmates), Kennedy pointedly said only that he found Bush, "engaging and personable."
Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., dismissed Bush's overtures toward Kennedy as calculated political gamesmanship.
(Pop quiz: Did a Republican or Democrat say this about a member of the opposing party – "Your thoughtfulness truly amazes me. ... Thank you, my friend, for your many courtesies. If the world only knew." Answer: That was Sen. Trent Lott on Teddy Kennedy.)
When Bush named the Department of Justice building after Robert Kennedy, Kerry Kennedy Cuomo displayed the renowned Kennedy graciousness by viciously attacking the Bush administration at a pre-dedication ceremony. Noting that her daughter was in the audience, Kennedy Cuomo said: "Kara, if anyone tries to tell you this is the type of justice system your grandpa embraced, you just don't believe it."
This is as we have come to expect from a family of heroin addicts, statutory rapists, convicted and unconvicted female-killers, cheaters, bootleggers and dissolute drunks known as "Camelot." Why would anyone want such people as their "good friends"?

He sounds like a little man, choking on his own foolish pride.
Who among us has NEVER been canned?
In my youth I was fired a few times. Most of the time I deserved it.
I can't ever remember being such a wimp that I lied about it.
LOL!!! As a Penn State alumnus, this absolutely tickles me no end!
Like most major universities, my alma mater has been stained and soiled by liberal activism.
But Centre County is VERRRY conservative, and this editor went out of his way to stick his head in the noose.
Good riddance, Mr. Unger. Happy Valley has rejected you!
Bwahahahahaha!
A true babe!
Anns a babe..................groooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwllllllllllLOL!
And SMART, too!Here is an interesting series of images, now posted at: http://www.anncoulter.org/images03.htm:
It depends uopn what he "axed" her...
OK, firing Ann didn't cause the loss of his job. It was the fact that he may have a tendency to exaggerate.
Anyone here ever heard of his first "novel"?? Show of hands?
[..........crickets chirp.........tumbleweed blows by.......................]
That's what I thought.
I submit the working title of his second "novel":
"Pantywaisted Former Editor of Pissant Little Nobody-Cares Newspaper: How I Took On Ann "Conservobabe" Coulter Without Doing It to Her Face"
You cross the Demo-socialist line when you tell the truth about the Kennedys.
I prefer the term realistic or connected to reality instead of fantasy and anti-Americanism.
I guess the truth hurts the foolish. Nothing in her statement was untrue. He left out the family rapist- William Kennedy Smith.
