I'll agree with that. About 99% of these authors' only true area of expertise is selling books. Was she a speachwriter for Reagan or something? It seems like all of those folks have good book careers.
The book-tie-ins with political figures has really started to disgust me. It seems like people in politics these days are motivated solely by what they need to do in order to get the biggest book deal (the Clintons, Gingrich, etc.) I've never read one of their books, but I'd imagine that their level of credibility would be right up there with the oft-discussed "Pledged".
