The former president and bestselling author James Patterson have selected Showtime to adapt their upcoming thriller, The President Is Missing.

At least this time the ghost writer is getting credit. I wonder how much the Clintons were able to grift with this "masterpiece".

[Huskrrrr]

The President is Missing? Check the nearest red light district.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I wish that president and his shrew wife were missing.

“The President is Missing” indeed.

The jokes among conservatives will write themselves.

For liberals, this will be the equivalent of “The Ten Commandments” (Well, in their case, it might be “Fifty Shades of Gray”) so there won’t be any jokes from them.

[Red Badger]

The President Is Missing?

He’s in the bathroom off the Oval Office with the intern of the day.................

[ClearCase_guy]

"Hey I wrote something. It's crap. Will you give me millions?"
"Sure!"

[ProtectOurFreedom]

What a powerful and novel book title!

He and his wife must find new income sources now that their blatant theft through their corrupt “foundations” has come to end and their blatant payoffs via $250,000 speeches has come to end. So now they team up with ghost writers to produce pure drek and make a few shekels. Grifters, indeed. But there are plenty of suckers to buy their garbage. Maybe Billy can get Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi to buy 100,000 copies for their “friends.”

“The President is Missing”

His in the bathroom off the Oval Office.

[IronJack]

Must-miss TV.

You mean that disease ridden corpse Hellary had propped up behind her during the campaign? He couldn’t hold a pencil much less write a book. More like both of them used Soretoro’s ghost writer.

[SERKIT]

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Wonderful! Now there is a series that I am going to set up in my DVR to TOTALLY IGNORE!

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Surprised it’s not, “One of the President’s Interns is Missing.”

[Liberty Valance]

More political porn for democrats?

[attiladhun2]

Has to stop off at the cigar store first:)

[GoldenPup]

I can’t wait to NOT watch it.

[upsdriver]

Money laundering at its finest.

[oldvirginian]

He ain’t missing.
He decided on an unannounced vacay at Pedo island.

[Slyfox]

It was written by two ghost writers:

[Captain Peter Blood]

Well when I saw this I thought I already knew that plot from before.

There was a 1971 TV movie called Vanished starring Richard Widmark: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067926/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_13

While the plot is different, it’s not that far from the plot of this new book. We know Patterson wrote it and not much from Bill Clinton.
