... You realize he got a $65m advance on his memoirs, right? So is your position that Alfred A. Knopf has 150x the influence over the presidency of Barack Obama than Wall Street does? Because I know you understand politics better than this, but i also know you like to indulge in an unhealthy amount of what I'll charitably call "dudgeon for nothing" because spitting out these phlegmatic little gobbets of nothing means you don't have to chew it over, I guess?
