Chic-Lit Meets Hanging Chad

Daughter of the 2000 Demo presidential candidate, Kristin Gore, has published her first novel:

Samantha Joyce is one of the most irritating people you might ever have the misfortune to meet. She wears non-matching shoes to work. What a hoot! She imagines that she only has one arm and must perform her daily tasks with just one hand. Hilarious! But it’s all right because Samantha has a cause. Samantha cares. She cares about people, about the world, about exploitation, about almost anything. A scatterbrain of the highest order, a delusional, demented, paranoid hypochondriac, Samantha somehow manages to hold down a high-powered job advising a US senator on, of all things, health policy. She even gets to write the policy that becomes the defining issue of a presidential election campaign.

I’m sure that this inspirational heroine had her adventures published solely through the intrinsic merits of her tale. Consider this example of fine writing:

My brief time in DC had made me aware of just how difficult it was to effect positive change, but working for RG had also bolstered my faith in the potential for progress, and I wanted my confidence to be rewarded with a tangible advancement - something I could point to and know was improving people’s lives. I firmly believed that a comprehensive prescription drug plan for the millions of Americans struggling to afford their health care would provide just that.

Miramax are releasing the film. Can’t wait.

I think film maker Alex Kerry would have been a far better First Daughter.
