Swimmer Sells Memoirs for $8 Million

Just imagine how much money this drunken sot might command if he had any memory.

It's interesting how the caring and compassionate liberals are all about money when it's for themselves, and the biased MSM is cheering him on.

Kennedy 'sells memoirs for $8m'

The most prominent surviving member of the Kennedy family, Sen Edward Kennedy, has reportedly agreed to sell the rights to his memoirs for $8m (£4m).

After a six-day auction, they were secured by the publishers Twelve and are due to be published in 2010.

Industry sources told US media the deal was comparable to the $8m Sen Hillary Clinton got for Living History.

Then the BBC put on cheerleader outfits and started waiving pom-poms:

The Massachusetts senator has become an iconic figure within the Democratic Party, and a prominent campaigner for reforms in many areas, including education, wages, health care and immigration.

Notice how they do not categorize Kennedy as liberal, though they often label Republicans "conservative." And they have no problems with this "prominent campaigner" for reform in wages grabbing a huge pile for himself. Notice there is no reference by the Beeb of the Swimmer's many failures in life. And I bet the he forgets to discuss those events in his memoirs.
