Bad Timing
And it couldn't happen to a sleazier guy.
Sidney (the weasel) Blumenthal is about to come out with an 800-page tome detailing his life as a Clinton keester smoocher. Unfortunately for him, in the wake of Mike Kelly's death, it apparently contains some uncomplimentary passages about him. They were long-time adversaries.
I liked this 1998 quote of Kelly's about Slimy Sid:
"...formerly a journalist cum amateur Clinton knife artist."
I'll be curious to see what ex-Blumenthal-buddy Christopher Hitchens has to say.
Hopefully this will speed the book on its journey to the remainder table. It's just a shame that this tripe yielded him a $650,000 advance. I hope the publisher loses its shirt on the deal.

Hmm. I wonder if Sid's publisher would like to trade places with Sen. Clinton's publisher? At least Sid fulfilled his contract.

Not necessarily, since the Hillary advance was probably just a disguised bribe anyway. Sid's publisher probably actually expected a book...
