My fantastically funny client Bill Scheft, author of “Everything Hurts” recent remarks (jokes – because he is a comedian) have started a bit of a web brouhaha for conservative blog commentors. Bill was part of the Comedy Panel at Washington D.C.’s Newseum event on Friday and his comments were then posted in stories across the Web.
He missed being on Hardball With Chris Matthews by a comedy hair (or the hair of his chinny chin chin) but he did manage to hang out with Obama’s speech writer and do a killer set for the Writer’s Guild Comedy Night on that same Friday.
So is creating controversy on the Web good for selling books? As they used to say in the old days, “any news is good news,” and that still holds true on the Web #.0(insert your own number here up to 80.0).
Plus, hopefully more Dems will buy Bill’s book in support of his extraordinary wit and chutzpa.
Is Obama becoming the new Oprah when it comes to book sales? A book he mentioned reading is now doubling in sales.
Watch out Oprah!
