"But a Democrat out whacking Democrats sells books,” Terry McAuliffe quote

[wisteria]

If he were just another Republican with a book, he wouldn't sell any. "But a Democrat out whacking Democrats sells books,”

A positive one about Kerry's campaign staff.

“He's going to bring in a bunch of new people, ... It's not a shake-up. ... I don't know how that rumor got started. There are 60 days go before the election. It's natural to bring in people who can get us through the last 60 days. John Kerry has a spectacular campaign staff.”
Terry McAuliffe quote

One concering Kerry medals and how his service should be part of the campaign.

Apparently, two tours in Vietnam, a Silver Star, a Bronze Star, and Three Purple Hearts weren't good enough for the folks who never miss a chance to say that military service shouldn't be an issue in this campaign.”
Terry McAuliffe quote

1. Disgusting

The guy is slime. By the way, what does "scrappy memoir" mean (from the AP story), can somebody please explain? Does not sound like an quality endorsement to me...

2. Comes out fighting would be my best guess. n/t

3. Just checked the thesaurus

and saw that what you say is indeed one meaning of the word, I am hoping they went for the more popular meaning, defined as "poorly held together or structured".

4. More of the quote

Seems McAwful is just another backstabbing book whore like Zell Miller.

In his own words (may they bite him hard):

“This is all about Zell Miller selling books. And if he were just another Republican with a book, he wouldn't sell any. But a Democrat out whacking Democrats helps him sell books.

This is a blatant materialism for him to sell more books. Nobody cares what Zigzag Zell Miller thinks.”

Three time loser. Sheesh, he should have quit when he said he would.

At the nadir of his political career, McAuliffe threatened to give up politics forever. "My wife and I decided I don't want to do it anymore. I ought to be left alone," McAuliffe said during the federal inquiries. "I'm not doing money anymore," he declared. "I'm not involved in any campaigns."

5. He actually said that?

He at least sees how slimy he is. More and more I am seeing the Clinton people as a nest of vipers. I seriously would have to think between Hagel and Clinton. (I all see that former Senator Bob Smith's endorsement of Kerry was not so wacky - the essence of it was that he didn't agree with Kerry on anything, but he was an honorable man - and the Republican Senate would keep him from doing anything really bad. )
