Fallout from the Appalachian Trail hike

Talking Points Memo is having a lot of fun with the catalog blurb from the Viking Press about a book written by Mark Sanford, nominal governor of South Carolina. This was written before Mark went hiking on the Appalachian Trail. Here's what Kurtz has to say:

Touting the book as "a conservative manifesto from one of the Republican Party's rising stars," the catalog anticipates "national publicity," "author tour," and "radio interview campaign."

Sanford would have explained through "personal" examples "how the GOP went astray over the last eight years." One can only imagine.

"Governor Sanford's down-to-earth voice and common sense principles will give conservative readers a much-needed sense of hope," the catalog promises.

I especially like that part about 'common sense principles'.

...and then, the Argentine Bombshell.
