New Greenwald book: Great American Hypocrites! Part Deux!

The controversial author and journalist Glenn Greenwald announced today that he has written a sequel to his 2008 best seller Great American Hypocrites.

"There was just so much additional material to write about, a tsunami of hypocrisy." Said Greenwald in an exclusive interview with reallyreallyreallybigriver.com "I was really excited to observe a lot more people talking out of both sides of their mouth. I expect Great American Hypocrites! Part Deux! to be a smashing success"

For the moment Greenwald is reticent about details of the book. "Read the reviews, the attacks will speak for my work" he says with his characteristic twinkly personality, self deprecating sense of humor and infectious grin.

This man is so far up his own ass, he can't even hide how much he enjoys being the center of attention.

If he had an ounce of self-reflection or integrity, how could he be 'excited' to see hypocrisy? Unless his only will to live consists of selling more books.

15. At long last what we have here is a failure to communicate

Some people get jazz and some people don't.

Some people get heavy metal, classical, country, hip hop, zydeco and so on.

And some people don't.

Not everyone gets everything, we get that.
