Move away marketers and spin doctors there is a new dude in the block. He is the one who can sell any dud with such élan that it will like hot chips. He and his gang, all have almost sinister resemblance that is no coincidence. They mostly held influential positions and were sissies when it mattered, now trying to seek redemption through book writing, it is also not a coincidence that they make huge money in the deal. If Gen. Musharaf could then so could our very own moron Jaswant Singh (his claim to fame also includes escorting hijackers to kandhahar….even his English couldn’t save this embarrassment). Both sold their books with dexterity by planting stories, creating suspense, using prime time of salivating media …putting even seasoned marketers to shame. One would have to admit that despite Jaswant boy’s rather stellar performance it was Musharaf boy, who won hands down. You see unlike ridiculous accented Jaswant, Musharaf is also engaged in saving the world from jehadis….how?? Quite complicated will try delve some other time.
The latest dude in ‘I wanna sell my book’ is the ex Director of CIA who goes by the name George Tenet. As a pre sale act he has been dropping ‘bomb shells’ regarding the policy bungling after September 11. He claims to be not the member of ‘Lets attack Iraq’ club, which nobody is ready to buy (but first they will have to buy the book!!. Tricked you!!). He said to Larry King ‘nobody had the wisdom to predict the events in Iraq… ’. Geez I never thought that needed wisdom. Even a seven year old kid hundreds of Km away knew it. This blogger had collected their voices against the war on Iraq and send it across to Ram buffoon…contact him for further reference (well if I had a blog then I wouldn’t be so foolish!!). Well atleast Tenet boy is smart; he will sell more copies of his book and be a millionaire. Next ‘writers’ include Bush, Cheney, Powel, Rice…..no wonder US of A has so many millionaires!!!. Millions on the bodies of innocent people. What a shame. Tenet’s tenet? ‘Humans makes mistake’. Tenet’s unsaid but practicing tenet? ‘…..well humans make mistake but we sure will make money out of it…..its prime time money churning entertainment dude’.
Post script: suggested title for Bush’s forthcoming book ‘Did it for papa’/ ‘There is a Sam in Osama’/ ‘Lost but won but lost in Baghdad’. For Cheney ‘Have gun, will shoot’/ ‘By God I will Shoot’/ ‘I am aiming the duck, it could be the President’.
Natwar Singh’s forthcoming book: My well oiled son!!!
