E-Version Of Christine O'Donnell's Memoir Calls Book 'A Work Of Fiction' http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/16/christine-odonnell-memoir-fiction_n_928424.htmlWASHINGTON -- Failed U.S. Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell is out with her new book "Troublemaker," which she describes in the introduction as "a political memoir slash campaign diary slash position paper slash rallying cry, with an emphasis on the slash." In an email to supporters, she promised the book would offer "the real, raw story of my life."
But the e-version of her book says she's making it all up.
The copyright page of her book in both the Kindle and iTunes versions state that O'Donnell's memoir is, in fact, a novel.
"This is a work of fiction," reads the disclaimer. "All of the characters, organizations and events portrayed in this novel are either products of the author's imagination or are used fictitiously."
To be honest, it is a work of fiction. So far they've already found a slew of inaccuracies in her book. I suspect Ms O'Donnell isn't quite aware of modern technologies like videotape and You Tube.
From the same article:
O'Donnell's book has already made some trouble, with a Republican strategist accusing her of embellishing a story about Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour (R) giving her a shout-out at a fundraising dinner in the 2008 election cycle.
O'Donnell also claims in the book that former Delaware GOP chairman Tom Ross snubbed her at that same event by mentioning all the candidates in attendance except her when introducing Barbour. Ross has said he was not present at the fundraiser, and a recording of the event shows former senator Mike Castle introducing Barbour.
