If one's title starts with Representative or Senator, cease and desist immediately writing your biographical coffee table book with the other 500 plus cafeteria colleagues in mind. It is fashionably rude to pretend the huddled masses just can't wait to plunk down $20 bucks to relive the glory of your campaign promises while skipping over the gelding of the people's business. It makes my blood boil. Positively American, Chuck Schumer should wince. He was a virgin, loudly focusing his first book on the fake Baileys.
Timing of marketing campaigns are usually for pols is The next election is coming with rhetorical flourishes and behold, the congressional junket off season book tour.

Fire Breathing Liberal, Robert Wexler at least backs up the title in real life by being firmly in the Impeach Cheney camp for his terrible crimes against the constitution.
Oh joy, tis the silly season for the upcoming crop of some political vanity offerings with a few rare thoughtful pieces included. I hate sifting through the muck to find the rare diamonds.
Scandal plagued pols try to revise and extend remarks in less than 75,000 ghost written words, rarely fully owning their sewage level impulses for longer than a page or two.
