After weeks of speculation, it’s finally official: Karl Rove’s memoirs will be published by Threshold Editions, the conservative-minded imprint of Simon & Schuster’s Pocket Books overseen by GOP strategist Mary Matalin.
Rove got a $1 Million advance, reportedly, for his book after shopping it to publishers for months and hoping for tens of millions.
Ted Kennedy got $8 million for a book about Chappaquiddick last month…
So Ted Kennedy gets eight times the advance for his book about drowning a hooker while driving drunk, than Rove got for his book about the total destruction of an entire political party (and a couple of countries and a million people or so).
Merry Christmas, Karl.
