MEDIA WHORES gets rejected again:
I ran your material past the powers that be for [political publishing imprint] The sample chapters give the readers a lot to chew on. However, the feeling is that your voice–while humorous–is too aggressive for the line at this point. At present, we’re looking for books that strike a measured tone. It’s unfortunate, but I’m afraid that I’ll have to pass.
I suppose I’d be disappointed, if I’d ever thought MW had a snowball’s chance in Hell of being signed by a liberal-leaning New York publisher. I was completely shocked that they even wanted to read it in the first place.
Anyhow, isn’t it interesting how Al Franken isn’t too aggressive when he’s kicking people in the crotch or calling people lying liars, but blistering, factual commentary is over the top?
If I was desperate to see my name on another book, I’d just write one proving that Hillary is really a moderate independent, albeit an intellectual one with a vision that will bring about world peace, zero-calorie chocolate that tastes good and television-induced orgasms via the Oxygen Channel.
Doggone it, there I go again!
