Well, what do you know? John McCain's daughter, Meghan, just inked a 6-Figure book deal with Hyperion, which out-bid three other publishers for the rights. This is Meghan's second book, the first a biographical picture book about her father called, My Dad, John McCain. And, our issue is not that she signed such a nice deal, but the publisher is said to not know what it will be about. Wtf? Now that is just cr-azy. Since most of her blog essays have either shed light on Republican leaders or the Party in general,it's safe to say that the book will have a some-sort of Republican twist. Here's a quote from Leon Neyfakh's article, "Meghan McCain's Book Sold For High Six Figures" @ www.newyorkobserver.com:
While we haven’t quite nailed down what Ms. McCain’s book will be about—no one at Hyperion nor Ms. Brophy returned calls this afternoon—if her recent columns for Tina Brown and Barry Diller's Web site The Daily Beast are any indication, it will probably have something to do with the future of the Republican party, and how it must change to attract the votes of modern young people.
Hmmm. Is Meghan being prepped to become the face of the new young and hip Republican Party? Ha! More likely probable than not. It is not a mystery that the Republicans are in a scramble to recruit young blood, while revamping their image. This ought ta be interesting.
