Bob Ehrlich's Extreme Narcissism

The trouble with publishing these days is that everyone who owns a computer is a writer and anyone who has a cell phone is a photographer. So let’s assume that former Maryland Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. (R) owns a computer, and a cell phone as well, which automatically makes him a contender to write a book, which he has predictably done, as many once-and-future politicians do as both catharsis and as a way of clinging to yesterday. As with most post-political screeds and how-to-govern manuals, the sentence is subordinate to ideology and is an instrument, no matter how ill-constructed, to transform past failures into future successes as Turn This Car Around promises to do.
