Paula Deen's upcoming cookbook, currently the No. 1 seller on Amazon.com, has been dropped by its publisher.
In a brief statement Friday, Ballantine Books announced it had canceled publication of "Paula Deen's New Testament: 250 Favorite Recipes, All Lightened Up." The book was scheduled for October.

What an idiot publisher! Her current books are at the top of the charts on Amazon. This book would be the closest thing to a guaranteed bestseller.
All because she told the world that Mooch ate like a pig all day when she was on her show.
The left is not possible of being just in disagreement, deviant behavior can not be reasoned with.
These leftist are trying to justify themselves, and we who are not leftest are like a mirror to their soul,their evil is so great all they can do is break the mirror so they no longer have to see this very evil.
Sickening. Hope that she publishes it with someone else.....I will be sure to order one.
My wife is a bestselling author, so I've gone over these contracts and publishing standards extensively. There are standard, boiler-plate publishing practices included in most contracts, however if the author has a major agency with a legal department the contracts are often tweaked and modified subject to negotiation. That said, the publisher almost always gives themselves an "out" in the contractual language. Most of the time there are multiple clauses allowing them to pull out of publication for specified reasons, or for no reason at all.
Typically the contracts are paid in thirds -- a third on signing, a third on "acceptance" of revisions and drafts, and a third on publication. So she's definitely out the on-publication third, and depending on where she is in the drafting process she could be out the "acceptance" third. She could also fight back with her own legal team, of course. The publisher, could even go after her for the signing money if they have the nerve and willpower. Ultimately though, it depends on how Deen's agency negotiated the specifics of whatever contract the publisher proposed, and of course who wants to dig-in and fight for the money the hardest.
What's interesting for me is that my wife used to be with Ballantine/Randomhouse. I'm glad she and her agent decided to dump them for a different publisher.
Race war’s a’comin’ .. and that lunatic Manson, illustrating yet again the ‘blind squirrel’ phenomenon, is surely howling his lunatic ass off in whatever 8x10 he’s currently occupying.
She won't. She'll keep crying and groveling for forgiveness. If she can't get help from Jesse Jackson, she'll crawl to another race-baiter.
Personally, I can't get worked up about Deen, because in supporting Obama, she's partially responsible for the horrible mess we're in today. But the whole thing has become so absurd....if people don't rise up and scream ENOUGH, this reverse slavery, where your life can be destroyed over a word you uttered 30 years ago, will hover over us all.
Even though Paula Deen is an Obama supporter, even I don’t wish this upon her..shows how much power blacks have, you say the N word, and the media destroys you..meanwhile, a Hispanic can be called a “Cracker” and Clarence Thomas can be called an “Uncle Tom” and nothing is done, no backlash..how many times must this woman apologize before she can get her life back
Well said and so true.
Is anybody going to stand up for Paula Dean? Is anyone going to finally stand up and speak against the politically correct witch hunts? Lefties are neo-puritans. This is getting more and more chilling by the day.
maybe all of her supporters should boycott any company dropping her
This has turned into an all out blitz and it seems so very orchestrated. It has all the viscousness of chicago politics. I can’t help but wonder how much Mooch and Valerie Jarrett have to do with this
naw...it was the religious reference
How many black or those of color does Paula or has she employed over the years?
Amazing how idiots in CONGRE$$ can say stupid things everyday and no one peeps in the least in the media.
Make that creepy ass cracker.
she started the grovelling...
I no longer pity her....
maybe do a recipe book on “Cracker Recipes”???

It is. And it’s probably only the beginning, only the FIRST of who they will destroy if their hideous communist agenda isn’t followed to the letter.
This is not the America we once knew. It’s officially gone.
those godless blackhearted barstards
THINK like us or be an outcast.
