Some much for accuracy. Or maybe Tom has a brother we knew nothing about?

Kind of appropriate for a guy that was asleep at the intelligence switch in the '90's.

John Clancy, author of such political(ly correct) thrillers as "The UN-Sanctioned Search for Red October", "Imperialist Games", and "Vague and Uncorroborated Danger...that's Being Used as a Smoke Screen to Take the Heat Off of Karl Rove."

What's it say on the back? "Dick Durbin gives it two thumbs up!" How about that.

Well fiction is so much easier to write than an actual intel

Do a double bill with Stone's movie about 9/11 - box office gold!

I was going to say The DimSum of All Fears but I thought there might be
a problem with that.

Does anyone know if the Tshirts run large?

They'll change the Muslim Extremists to Nazis again.

Here's John Clancy's author link:

With action like Clancy usually delivers, Clarke's book ought to be a real page-turner.

At first I thought the Hollywood Distorter (as we former entertaintment-journalism types have oft-times heard it called) was getting Tom Clancy confused with a member of Irish band the Clancy Brothers, but they have a Tom Clancy too.

Ordinarily, I'd try to write something funny, but there's no topping Dave's posting above. Nice one.

'Fiction is so much easier to write than actual intel'. There's a difference? In the grunt end of the military, it's widely believed that the motto of G-2 (intel) is "we bet YOUR life".

Would that be Jim Clancy, perhaps?

And this is produced by a Lieutenant Calley, is that?

I just wanted to thank everyone here for being so unbelievably friendly.
It just really feels good to be around so many fine intellects, who are warm, friendly and inviting!
Thanks for welcoming a newcomer with
open arms! It just makes me feel so good to be a part of a community!

I thought John Clancy was Ben Affleck's ghost-writer's pseudonym. He's embarrassed to be stepping down from writing porn for Hustler...

I hear he's good friends with playwright John Stoppard and Congressman John Tancredo.

John Clancy = John Kerry's pen name used while wrting a series of political thrillers involving a young Navy Swift boat commander and his involvement in special ops along the Cambodian border.

What? Another anti-Bush attack! I know I'm surprised!!!

Rumor is that the film will have an all-star cast, including Bert Pitt, Janine Anniston, Jeff Cusack, Cindy Bullock, and Simon L. Jackson...

Y'know...I read this yesterday and didn't see what the big deal was.

But I was catching up on several days worth of posts so I just write it up as having taken a few too many shots of vodkapunditry.

I guess that the main character will be the center of the universe, who has all the solutions to every problem ever devised by man or nature and rubs evvery person that ever met him the wrong way. I bet he gets mad after 15 years of no one making him the king of the intelligence community and decides to strike out on his own. To demonstrate his high intellect and unique insight, he goes on TV and challenges information that can not be refuted since it would break protocol and classified information rules to respond. All the time he is lurking undercover helping OJ find the real killer.

Oh, he wrote that book already "My Sad Life"

The movie version could star Clancey Brown.

TO: Stephen Green
RE: Yes. JOHN Clancy

You know. Tom's younger and less successful brother.

He uses a Windoz platform and has yet to get a book published.

Chuck(le)

That would be John Clancy of the Downing Street Clancys clan.

Editors? We don't need no stinkin' editors.

Where does John Bigboote fit into all this?
