Shameless Lying Is Putting Money in Jan Brewer’s Purse

So you take a year to write a book on your heroic life and few people are interested in reading it. It’s at 343,222 on the Amazon ranking and sinking fast. What to do?

Easy. Take a page out of Arizona’s Gov. Jan Brewer’s playbook and start a confrontation with the President of the United States the next time he comes by for a visit. Make sure photographers get a good pic of you wagging your finger at the President in a manner which suggests he’s getting a well deserved scolding. And should the President not take the bait and instead remains cool and calm, follow Jan’s lead: spin the hell out of the story and tell the world how tense and awful it all was.

If you do all that, here’s what can happen to that book of yours.

…the governor has used her version of the encounter to get plenty of air time, seeing an increase in sales of her book which she has called a “truth telling” tome. Amazon ranked “Scorpions for Breakfast” at No. 7 on its best sellers list on Friday. The day of the event, the book had been at No. 343,222.

It’s that easy.  So go out there and put together that book you’ve always dreamed of writing. Worry little about the writing style and even less about making it truthful. It matters not. Brewer has been going around saying that her dad died fighting Nazis in WWII even though he died from lung cancer in California in 1955. So don’t get caught up in thinking your book has to be factual. It doesn’t. All that counts is that the book makes you look good and everyone else comes off as a putz.

Once the book is published, practice your ‘ooh, the big black man is scaring me’ look in the mirror. Do all that and you’re ready to invite Barack Obama for Sunday brunch and watch your book sales soar.

    She boasts about Arizona’s economic turn around. Arizona voters passed a 1% state sales tax increase in order to fix the fiscal mess in a predominantly Republican state. And she takes credit for this regressive band aid at every opportunity. Arizona politics – a national joke.

  2. Karen Weston says:

    Politics is such an ugly business — it has much more to do with opportunism than service to the country. I didn’t think her account had the ring of truth — for one thing, our much maligned President couldn’t be as thin-skinned as she says and hold up under the daily pounding he takes from the Republicans and wing-nut conservatives. I’d give anything to hear him get a little credit once in awhile. That’s why I frequent Mario’s site — its refreshing to see our President get the support and respect he deserves!
