Default Senator Macaca has a book deal

From wonkette:

George Allen ‘Writing’ Book Seemingly Targeted At 8-Year-Old Boys



Likely GOP nominee for president in 2008 and self-loathing Virginian Jew
George Allen has landed hisself a fancy book deal, following in the
footsteps of his idol, Ken Layne. It is titled The Triumph of Character:
What Washington Can Learn from the World of Sports, so readers should
expect an aesthetic mash-up of Matt Christopher and Leni Riefenstahl.

Here’s the publisher’s press release describing the book that Mark
Salter or whoever will be ghostwriting for Allen:

In The Triumph of Character, Allen brings together two all-American
passions—politics and sports—and reveals what Washington could learn
from the enduring principles found in athletic competition and team
sports. Having spent the better part of his life with one foot in both
the world of sports and the world of politics, Allen will draw parallels
and contrasts between the two arenas. Using his own engaging and
entertaining personal stories, Allen will illustrate how “characters
with character” in the meritocracy of sports can provide principled,
competitive examples of the ways to surmount challenges facing America.
