Instead, "The One that Got Away" is a recounting of fishing adventures, childhood memories and ruminations on what it means to have the biggest fish you've ever caught get away from you. Hmmm. Sounds like a real ... YAAAAAWWWWWWWNNNNNNN ... page turner.

Who outside the media elite would spend real money for this type of self-serving revisionism?

I wonder what he has to say about firing A. M. Rosenthal at the urging of Maureen Dowd, who had slept with him earlier?
A. M. Rosenthal was a liberal, but he was an honest and decent liberal, just about the last one left on the NYT's staff.

I would have gone for an approach of layered complexity..."Layered complexity"? Doncha just love it when libs talk that way? I think he wanted to say "nuance", but J. Effin Kerry ruined that word for these elitist snobs.

Who wants to read something that we already knew nearly
three years ago on various message threads on FR?

When I became interested in fly fishing I read Raines book about that subject. I didn't learn anything about fishing but I learned a hell of a lot about liberals and their hatred of Republicans.

Well, ok...I wanted to be the first one not to read this, by it's not a surprise that some random freeper would not read this before me. But remember this: I'm a VERY fast non-reader...

Somebody has to be first to ignore the rantings of a dissed liberal and ridicule it.
I stand in awe at your precience, to know to avoid a book filled with, at best, feline flatulance.
I'm still not reading it. And savoring every moment.

"If I had been writing the story, I would have gone for an approach of layered complexity, placing our failure to catch Jayson into the context of the Times's long-standing editing and personnel practices," he wrote."TOO precious for even Pinchloaf, Draines. That's why you're gone to lunch at the old fishing hole...
"Of one Times editor who criticized him in public but was friendly in private, Raines wrote, "What is it about this place that has given this good man the soul of a bushwhacker?"
Jill Abramson would laugh at you but she doesn't know how, Draines. Her face is frozen that way, don't you know...
