“Right Away Ms. Miller,” the title of Chris Lavoie’s erratic new memoir, comes from a phrase used by a disgruntled Mr. Lavoie to describe his relationship with his boss liberal talker Stephanie Miller. Among Lavoie's charges against Ms. Miller, the very person who plucked him off of Sunset Boulevard, anointed him her producer (When Ms. Miller first saw Lavoie he was wandering the streets with a sign that said "Will Produce for Food.") was that she sexually harassed him, made him pretend to be her boyfriend at functions and family meetings, often called him when she was drunk, and had him give her sponge baths.
Lavoie reportedly commanded $5 million advance for writing this book due to the large interest in "that sweaty girl on MSNBC."
Ms. Miller was quoted as saying, "I am really hurt by this book but I have to get going back to my compound because Chris is supposed to come by and sand and oil the corns on my feet. You can't take anything Chris says too seriously because he really thinks that right now they are teaching kids in Mexico how to read his writing upside down so they can steal his vote. Also Chris really doesn't have to work too hard because listeners to my show doing the lion's share of the work from producing high quality audio tapes, photo shopping pictures for my web site, finding and sending political stories and funny things like a man getting beat by his wife for having two hookers in the kids playroom, great calls from people like my namesake sister Stephanie in Madison, and brilliant contributions from my Buddy, Tommy in Ohio who really is smoking hot."
“Right Away Ms. Miller,” was reportedly ghost written by James Ward and Rebekah Bakker but have been cut out of the the profits by Mr. Lavoie
