Chris Christie's Agonizing New Memoir
Three years ago this week, on February 9th, 2016, Donald Trump won the New Hampshire primary in a landslide.
There were immediate whispers about which “normal” GOP candidate would be craven enough to drop out and legitimize Trump’s candidacy with an endorsement.
The man who made that historic decision, New Jersey governor Chris Christie, wants to tell you all about it now. The resulting memoir, Let Me Finish, is an epic literary self-own.
In the hands of a skilled memoirist, or even one with a half-percent more self-awareness, this could have been brilliant career-reviving satire, a political Leslie Nielsen act: I Sold My Soul to Donald Trump, and All I Got Was This Lousy Book Deal.
But Christie — who releases his book amid “news” he “won’t rule out” a presidential run in 2024 — can’t give up the dream of being taken seriously. So Let Me Finish ends up being a furious allegory about the perils of not being as smart as you think you are.

well, it can't be that good.
... but there are so many great ones out these days! Right now I'm in the middle of Kamala Harris' book "The Truths We Hold" and I'm loving it! I've got 5 or 6 new books waiting in line, but I just can't read fast enough. 
Eventually I'll get to Christie's book but it's lower priority. I used to follow Matt Taibbi in Rolling Stone too, but I've soured on him since he was so tepid on the Russian interference. I started wondering who's side is he on anyway?
