Jack Lessenberry says former Michigan governor's book lacks candor, honesty, and insight just like her terms as governor did

But old Jack still thinks her eight-year tenure as Michigan's governor was characterized by indecisiveness and lack of candor and that her book was written for all the wrong reasons.

So why in the world did she write this book, anyway? 

"This [book] isn't for a Michigan audience," says a Lessenberry undisclosed source. "They've got her number. Nobody wants to see her, let alone buy a book she's written. We had eight years of her blowing us away. 'This is for Washington and New York audiences, to keep herself out there, to get speaking engagements and keep her job as a commentator on MSNBC, and maybe add to that."

That is how I see it too.

Face time with ex-Governor Jennifer Granholm @ $10 a pop

That's what the ad at the Ann Arbor Chronicle should read. I can't believe that the governor who presided over an unprecedented eight year long decline in living standards here in the Mitten State has enough nerve to try and sell a book detailing her "accomplishments". And I can't believe anyone would willingly pay her extra to have her sign their book after they buy it as well as the ticket to get in either. All the other authors visiting here give free readings and signings at area bookstores. Oh sure you may have to order and/or pay for tickets if seating is limited or it's a famous author who will likely draw a big crowd but that seems like it would hardly be the case with her. The egos these politicians have are just amazing and I don't mean that in a good way either.

Sign of the Times..

The Michigan state senate has rejected both of Governor Granholm's appointments to the board of trustees of Eastern Michigan University, as well as a few other spots. Wow. The Republican led senate has again done the right thing but for the wrong (shallow and partisan) reasons and which should by now be no surprise. If a Republican wins the election for governor this November look for him or her to replace these rejected appointments of lame Democratic political hacks with Republicans appointees of greater or equal lameness.
