Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota has made a deal to publish her memoir, selling a book to Sentinel, a conservative imprint at Penguin Group USA, two people familiar with the negotiations said on Thursday.
Ms. Bachmann, a Tea Party favorite who announced her presidential candidacy during the Republican debate on Monday, has been shopping her memoir for weeks, meeting with several New York publishers to discuss a possible deal.
The book is tentatively expected to be released this fall. John Fund, a columnist for the Wall Street Journal, will assist with the writing of the book.
One person who saw Ms. Bachmann’s proposal said the book was largely biographical, an account of the formation of her political and economic ideas. Ms. Bachmann was “very impressive” in her meetings with publishers, winning over the skeptics in the room, the person said.
Look I know that people keep trying to poo poo the idea of Michele Bachmann being Sarah Palin's somewhat smarter sister, but come on! All this woman needs is a husband who pimps out young women, a fake pregnancy, and a teen daughter who, after giving birth out of wedlock, was getting paid to talk about abstinence, and she would BE the Grizzled Mama!
By the way who buys these books? I mean after paying for Palin's bus tour, her new house in Arizona, and Bristol's brand new chin, aren't the Teabaggers just about bled dry by now?
