At least it will be shorter than Harry Potter.

Now I'm feeling pretty good about
those rejections letters...What in the world is Sholastic thinking? Oh, wait a minute, thinking probably wasn't a part of the process...

Corbin,
it is a good thing that Newt Gingrich hasn't come out with his own line of kid's books.  Leaving his wife on her deathbed for a younger woman MIGHT be considered not quite family-oriented.

If you're working and offline at the moment, I left a response to your comment on Scoop's blog.  Just FYI.

Corbin,
It could be worse, though.  TK might write a book on family issues.   Now, that would be a hoot.

Corbin_Dallas, I used to think that I had a pretty good idea of how our government works.  I'm not so sure any more.  Maybe I'd better read Senator Kennedy's book.

Corbin,
This is almost funny beyond belief, but hey, it might be a big hit.

Corbin,
Well, I've heard that the children's book market is the hottest market in writing, so can't blame the guy for cashing in.  Although, I have to admit, the idea of Teddy Kennedy, who as far as I know doesn't have kids, putting out a kids book is pretty funny.

Hi,
Mr Ted Kennedy is famous in Poland as the laziest of the Kennedy brothers. Having the name the American icon (JFK) doesn't give him a right to pretend a writer. I believe that American kids won't buy such a book ...a book of nonsense - I doubt his gift, taking into account his poor political achievements and some other things.( I hope I haven't offended you, dear Flightpath as an American guy).

I agree, picking on Jabba the Hut Teddy never goes out of style

Corbin Dallas,

Can you do any better? Ted Kennedy is a washed-up shell of a man like most of the crap that gets elected in Washington! There are a lot of people who think they are getting something for free by keeping these people in power! You included!

There is still the lingering question of whether ole George Bush can either read or write without pre-programming!

Forget the book, have the kids watch Schoolhouse  Rock, they would probobly understand it better!
