The Washington Post reports that eight out of the nine Democratic presidential candidates have books out. Here are a few excerpts from the books, culled from the article and excerpts where appropriate.
Winning Back America by Howard Dean: "I don't indulge myself when it comes to clothes. . . . I have a suit that cost $125 at J.C. Penney in 1987." Well, isn't that cute? Never mind that Dean's the son of a multimillionaire stockbroker.
A Call to Service: My Vision for a Better America by John Kerry: "I am so addicted to ice hockey that I still fantasize about starting a professional over-fifty senior league." Too bad nobody told Kerry that he's also addicted to running in a primary race he can't win.
Winning Modern Wars: Iraq, Terrorism, and the American Empire by Wesley K. Clark. Here's a cynical New York Times review from Max Frankel.
A Prayer for America by Dennis Kucinich: A collection of essays and speeches.
Al on America by Al Sharpton (with Karen Hunter): Sharpton wins the Stating the Obvious award. "Racism may make the workplace and housing market unequal. But racism doesn't make you put gold teeth in your mouth, spending thousands of dollars when you don't have enough food to feed your family. Racism doesn't make you buy a new, expensive car when you don't own the home you live in. Racism doesn't make you make babies that you aren't going to raise and support both financially and spiritually. Racism doesn't do that."
An Even Better Place: America on the 21st Century by Richard Gephardt (with Michael Wessel)
Four Trials by John Edwards (with John Auchard)
And then there's Lieberman, who offers An Amazing Adventure: Joe and Hadassah's Personal Notes on the 2000 Campaign, co-written with his wife. The books sounds as much fan as being forced to watch a slide show of endless photos snapped by some hoary relative during a vacation. "A funny thing happened in 2000. I became known for being funny. It began on opening day. At the announcement rally in Nashville on August 8, I told the crowd I was surprised that the Republicans' first reaction to my selection had been to say that 'George Bush and I think alike.' Well, I said, 'With all due respect, I think that's like saying the veterinarian and the taxidermist are in the same business -- because either way you get your dog back.'" I wonder if that came from Bob Hope's joke file.
Carol Mosley Braun, who has about as much of a chance as Kucinich, doesn't have a book out.
