SCHADENFREUDE WATCH: HEWITT EDITION

[laststeamtrain]

SCHADENFREUDE WATCH: HEWITT EDITION.... In 2006, a few months before the midterm elections, conservative blogger/talk-show host Hugh Hewitt published a book on the drive for a "permanent Republican majority." Soon after, Democrats won a sweeping, historic victory, and reclaimed the majority in both chambers.

In 2007, a few months before the primaries, Hewitt published a book on Mitt Romney and the prospects of a "Mormon in the White House." Soon after, Romney blew leads in Iowa and New Hampshire, and withdrew from the presidential race after a surprisingly poor showing.

In 2008, Hewitt has a new idea for a book. It's called, "How Sarah Palin Won the Election ... and Saved America." There's a small problem: no one wants to publish it. According to a report in the New York Observer, Hewitt's literary agent, Curtis Yates, has already given up on selling the book.

...Atrios has the right idea: "They should publish it, and Fox News should just provide a complete alternate reality for its viewers, one in which McCain is president, Obama has been arrested and sent to Gitmo for terrorist activates, Joe Wilson gets indicted, American Carol made a GAZILLION dollars at the box office, etc."...http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2008_10/015106.php
