Effin golden, indeed
Amazon customers are having a field day adding tags to Rod Blagojevich's upcoming (and self-serving, delusional, narcissistic, etc.) memoir The Governor. I'm guessing most if not all of the contributors were his former constituents, howling online in outrage as they wonder (as I've done) how the hell they ever voted this guy into office twice. Here are all the tags so far that were selected more than once.
moron (121); delusional (91); crook (79); fraud (58); historical fiction (46); insanity (41); impeachment (35); fantasy series (29); hairbrush (27); hair care (20); comedy (19); testicular virility (7); sociopath (4); corruption (3); effin golden (3); illinois political corruption (3); narcissistic personality disorder (3); pay to play (3); cuckoo (2); disgrace (2); dogs (2); embarrassment (2); fitzpatrick (2)
The full list is here. (My favorites, at one vote each, are "governor goofy" and "careful picking up the soap.") And please, literature lovers, do society a favor - don't buy the book (let the schmuck pay for his own legal defense) and leave your own tag instead.

OMG! Governor Goofy - that was me! I put that in there. I'm so glad you like it. It was one of my best literary works. :P
Yeah, I doubt if I'll buy it. But, if it makes it to my local library, I'll probably check it out (assuming whoever gets it first returns it).

Well done, Marie. And if I ever read the book (which is unlikely) it would only be in a gawking manner, in the same way that you can't take your eyes off a trainwreck.
