Makes sense about Kristin Gore. She should know what's funny since her dad has always been a joke.
SNL's Tina Fe's movie BOMBED..
She gets a neck rash when she meets a cute guy, seeks out telemarketers for romantic advice, can't Rollerblade worth a damn and obsesses over questions like how she'd get ready for work each morning if, say, a lion ripped off her right arm.
Uggh. A chick-flick in novel form.
Sounds about as thrilling as an Ally McBeal episode.
She was a writer for Futurama? Can't possibly be ...
This tree walks into a bar, see...no wait, I walked into a bar...no wait, I walked into a tree after visiting a bar...no wait, if I was a tree, what kind of tree would I be...
Say goodnight, Tipper!
Bet she's glad her Dad invented the English language, the word processor, the printing press, the.....
From David Frums Diary, NOV. 19, 2002: "GORE SPEAKS." The words are by Karenna Gore. She's talking about her conversation with her father during the recounting.
"We have to do what's best for the country, and it is not good for the country to have this kind of divisiveness. And he was on the phone, really calling off the dogs. There were people who wanted to fan the ... the flames of the racial issue and have real unrest. And he was on the phone asking them not to, because of what was best for the country not because of what was best for him politically. And that's really who he is." [end]
Where are the race riots I wondered at the time. The left knows that the media will go after Bush to stop the violence and answer the "will of the people." Let Gore be president, they'll demand.
Will Kerry call 'em off?
I had not known that stuff about her TV comedy writing chops. However, one more chick lit novel in a crowded field had better be distinct. Considering all the D.C. sex scandals periodically roiling the waters it had better be steamy to boot ("washingtonienne, et al). Notice the part about her character chafing at having to work for a dolt of a president (subtle). I would not hold my breath in anticipation of anything particularly refreshing. It's probably just further proof that to get published nowadays you first have to get famous by hook or by crook THEN try to flog your work.
Generic Chick Book #45,509? (And I mean chick book, not Chick tract. They're totally different.)
Of course Tina Fey's movie bombed. They made it already, fifteen years ago..."Heathers." You can't beat the original.

How does compare to Madonna's books?
Kristin? Kristin... Kristin... Is this the one that got busted at the high school party when she was 17 for drinking out on the street in a parked car?
Yes, dear. If only people you know read the book, it will never be a best-seller.
