It is a little-known fact that, by a miracle of literary coincidence, the Quixotic tale of a bland, relatively unknown bilaterally-symmetrical Utah Mormon and former-ambassador-to-a-Major-Asian-Power who decides to leap into the Republican presidential race in a field already crowded with another bland, bilaterally-symmetrical Mormon, a couple of Fundamentalist End Times flakes, a black ultrasuperpaleoconservative fast food mogul and a guy name "Timmy" from Minnesota...by setting up shop in Florida's political fever-swap...was simultaneously pitched as the central plot of proposed novels by both Carl Hiassen and Elmore Leonard in 1993.
It is an even lesser-known fact that both book proposals by these worthies were laughed out of their respective agents' offices with the words, "Seriously, are you outta your fucking tree?"

Summary of every past and future George Will commentary: "Save us, white man (but please don't where jeans while doing so)!"
Oops--"wear." (George Will makes me so mad and stupid at the same time.)
Good grief. Was the (all too brief) show by this name from a Leonard book? Figures. Did Hiassen do a book too?
The recommended dosage for recovery from listening to George Will is gonna be one chapter of either Leonard or Hiassen for each ten minutes spent letting George Will deposit verbal toxic sludge onto your eardrums.
It's the "Moleman for President" campaign, with Gil Gunderson as Chief of Staff.
