Most presidential memoirs are written by ghostwriters with some shaping and input from the man of the previous hour. This puts them a step above campaign books which are entirely written by ghostwriters and probably never even seen by the candidate. We’re a long way off from the day of Ulysses S. Grant, dying and rushing to finish his memoirs, sitting on his porch in the cold wrapped in a blanket, so that his family would be provided for.
But these days publishers tend to offer massive ‘advances’ that they often never expect to recoup to politicians. I’ve written about that before, but the reported $10 million advance for Biden’s memoir is especially ridiculous.
Former President Joe Biden has sold his presidential memoir to the Hachette Book Group for an advance in the range of $10 million, according to people familiar with the matter. Biden, who is 82, said at an event earlier this month that he was “working my tail off” to write a memoir, and indicated that he would focus on the four years he served as president.
Is there any actual interest in such a memoir? Doubtfully. There wasn’t much interest in Biden when he was president. Never mind interest in him after much of the party blames him for tanking the presidential election.
And considering his inability to speak or remember basic events,. is he remotely capable of writing a memoir? Obviously not. We already know how the ‘writing’ works. A ghostwriter talks to Biden who rambles on for 20 hours. The writer excises any of the obviously untrue and problematic material and then tries to shape it into something faintly literary. If Biden is still alive and capable of some basic appearances when the memoir comes out (far from certain) the memoir will splash gently into the back end of Barnes and Noble before drifting off to the remainder section.
There’s no call for spending $10 million on a book few will buy. But here’s one twist. Hachette is not an American company. It’s a French company.
Does crooked demented dementia Joe Briben use autopen to sign his checks?
$10 mil advance for a book of lies is the same dung pile as half a million bucks for a Hunter Biden painting.
Comedy at it’s best.
“A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum” is satire about Greco-Roman life back in the BC era.
Thousands of years from now, if we are still awaiting the Second Coming to straighten out the human race, there will be a new satire:
“A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To DC”
Is Bill Ayers going to write it?
I’m thinking Bill will be getting help from Clifford Irving. They both share the same literary integrity.
It’s a payoff/bribe laundered by a book deal pass through.
The same sort of thing that enabled the obambis to splash out on property, was it $70 million?
That was nothing but slush money.
His memoirs should be a short read and go something like this:
Once upon a time, ummmm!! Ice cream! The end.
Will it include painting by Hunter Biden?
No, but the same people who paid $500,000 for one of Hunter’s finger paintings are probably the same people who put up 10 million for Joe’s book deal. Joe’s books will probably sit in a warehouse somewhere until years later when they are all eventually hauled off to the dump. So, when a democrat does a book deal, they are actually hurting the environment – trees are cut down to produce paper for the book, the paper in the book then ends up in our landfills, and then the ink on that paper leaches into our ground water, producing toxic drinking water from our wells. Joe’s parting gift to America.
They used to have a table at the UC Berkeley book store full of rejects that wouldn’t sell. Probably selling for 50 cents or so.
Why would a publisher do this? They obviously lose money. So, how do they get reimbursed? What is the money laundering scheme here?
So will they be making some rotten movie about Biden like they did with Obama(The Movie Bombed)and who will be the Writer, Producer and Director? They have plenty of Suckers in Hollywood who would be happy to do it with maybe DiNero the Zero playing Biden
Joe is being cheated. His auto bio is worth 20 million!
Hachette has a problem, how to make a buck out of this crash and burn memoir?
Maybe if they market it as a comedy
Chapter One : The jug eared black guy with the big headed wife said I could be President. I took a nap – 14 hours! Had a great bowel movement – unfortunately it was at 13 hours! Had some people tell me something – had no idea what they said – the paper said to STAND HERE and say “yes” – got some ICE CREAM!!!
Chapter Two through Forty One – WENT TO THE BEACH!! A lady wearing some old sofa cushions was sitting next to me – guess she liked my umbrella and those white leg hairs! Then she took me to her place – took a nap – nice one, but only 10 hours! No BM though! Same thing happened nearly every day. Hey, got some ICE CREAM – not sure what color it was – tasted white though!
Chapter Forty Two – some crazy talking woman was cackling about how brave I am and I need to sign this letter thing. I did and they gave me some ICE CREAM! Oh, and that furniture cloth lady took me to the BEACH again! Had a nice BM, but she didn’t like it because it was in her car that she could drive from the back seat! Had to move! What?? Who’s going to get me some ICE CREAM. OH, and hey, where’s that cute chick I used to shower with? And what’s this little bag of white stuff? Hey, I’m the President – or was!
THE END!
The IRS should pay the retainer in exchange for a memoir of all the skimmed income from his career, and his omission of that income from his tax returns. No doubt they would get the money back many times over.
Yeah, the economics of book publishing baffle me. Where do they get the money to give these guys, when obviously they won’t get a positive return from publishing the book?
It’s how money is laundered to crooked politicians.
It gets funneled through publishing houses, TV and movie production houses, etc.
The companies know that the money that is being given to them by fellow leftards is slush money and they don’t care.
An art installation could be successfully made of Hunter’s paintings.
They could be rolled up, and placed athwart a bowl of confectioner’s sugar made up to look like cocaine.
It could be called “The Big Snort” …..and it could be sold
Yeah, they could include an original Hunter Biden artwork with each copy of Biden’s book.
I’ll take a pass on both of those. 😛
Allan Goldstein:
“An art installation could be successfully made of Hunter’s paintings.” Really? You’re screwing with us, right?
A better and more fitting use of Hunter Biden’s “paintings” would be as kindle for a bonfire or as cat litter box liner or as doggie-poo picker-upper. Or perhaps as disposable adult diapers for Joe Biden!
clearance table at barnes and noble ?! more like fiction table at walmart along with hillarys best sellers .
Quote: Most presidential memoirs are written by ghostwriters with some shaping and input from the man of the previous hour.
It’s fitting for Biden to employ a ghost writer. That’s how his presidency was conducted.
I ACTUALLY KICKED TRUMP’S ASS
By
Joe Biden
with Autopen
It’s not even worth ten cents. It’s only usefulness is about four hundred leaves of buttwipe.
I wouldn’t give five piss dribbles for Bidumb’s “memoirs”. Nobody else will, either.
“Memoirs of a Corrupt Asshole”
