Leon Wolf is displeased with Meghan McCain’s book, Dirty, Sexy Politics:
…It is impossible to read Dirty, Sexy Politics and come away with the impression that you have read anything other than the completely unedited ramblings of an idiot. This being a professional website for which I have a great deal of respect, I searched for a more eloquent or gentle way to accurately phrase the previous sentence – but could not find one…
…On the whole, I am simply not a talented enough writer to express how truly horrible this book was. The last line of the book implores readers not to let Meghan “pick up this torch alone.” I can honestly say that I was encouraged throughout to pick up a torch in order to burn my copy of Dirty, Sexy Politics, even though I was reading it on a Kindle. There is no reason that anyone who is not getting paid to review this book should ever, ever spend money on it. If you simply must have large doses of poorly-written fictional tripe written by a narcissistic person who hates conservatives and everything they stand for, read Mike Lupica instead. At least he’s smart enough to know which side he’s on.
That’s gonna leave a mark. I’ve read some books like that, too – where they are just so bad that you are positively embarrassed for the author.
Its hard to he harsh to a fellow writer – even bad fellow writers who write stupid things. But it is a bit easier to be blunt with people who only got their book deal because of who they are. Hopefully this will prove a good lesson to publishing houses that if you are going to try and cash in on the untalented, hire a ghost writer.
