Bwhahaha! Mary Matalin may publish Rove’s memoir

Rove wasn't getting any love, or money, for his 'memoir'-no one was interested. Enter Mary to the rescue!

Mary Matalin may publish Rove’s memoir.

Karl Rove has recently received attention for shopping his high-profile memoir to publishers in an auction that kicked off on Dec. 6. He was expected to receive a “seven-figure payday.” Yet despite the initial buzz, the New York Observer reports that Rove may end up going with GOP strategist Mary Matalin’s Threshold Editions. His other option is Free Press, a formerly “fiercely conservative shop that now specializes in general narrative nonfiction.”

5. Well

Have you seen their book sales lately? (actual, not bulk). That's probably why Rove is not getting as much love as he thought he would, these idiots are not really selling well.

I love this story. They don't want his book full of bullshit and I don't blame them.

Slow going for Rove memoir auction.

Early reports had predicted a $3 million sale, but an auction for the Republican strategist's memoir has dragged on for a month.

The auction for Karl Rove's memoir drags on a month after the Republican strategist made the rounds of publishers with Washington power lawyer Robert Barnett at his side.

“It's very, very slow,” says an executive at one of the few houses left in the bidding. Early reports had predicted a $3 million sale, but some insiders are wondering if Mr. Barnett has had trouble getting to that number. He declined to comment.

Mr. Rove isn't the only conservative meeting a backlash. The latest tome by right-wing scribe Ann Coulter, If Democrats Had Any Brains They'd Be Republicans, hasn't caught fire with book buyers.
