LEFTY BLOGGER MILT SHOOK TO DONATE A PORTION OF HIS BOOK SALES TO ACTBLUE

A few days ago we posted an impeachment rational by Milt Shook, an old buddy of mine from the earliest, pre-blog Internet wars. Last year, when I was getting ready for my trip to the end of the earth, I had mentioned that I was taking an advance copy of Milt's political novel, Talent on Loan to read while I was wandering around with the penguins. The book was a thrilling read and I recommend it highly. You can read a sample chapter here.

As Milt puts it himself, the story has some familiar-sounding elements:

• A fat, stupid right wing talk show host whose greed and sloth far exceed his intelligence?
• A power-mad megalomaniacal billionaire whose main purpose in life is to get revenge for the unfair treatment of the greatest president in history, Richard M. Nixon?
• A President whose two biggest problems are the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy and a horny secretary?
• A wide-eyed Christian whose only concern is making sure the country is conservative?
• The gruesome death of a liberal foe in the billionaire's bathroom?
• And a compliant media, that only repeats what it's told, and refuses to let facts get in the way?

Today Milt sent me a note saying that for every book he sells on that site, he'll contribute between $1 and $2 to any ActBlue candidate you designate.
