Lou Dobbs says:
As I say in my new book — Independents Day: Awakening the American Spirit — the arrogance of our political leaders now threatens the future of our nation, and their elitist sense of entitlement has reached such heights that our leaders are now openly dismissive of the will of the people. Working men and women and their families are simply not being represented in Washington.
You might have a point, Dobbs, but do you have to preface it with “As I say in my new book”?
“As I say in my book, I go flaccid at the site of the hottest of illegal immigrant women.”
As I say on my website, I hear “As I say in my book” way too many times. Luckily, in this case Dobbs is making the point in writing, not on TV. Whenever I hear someone on TV say “As I say in my book,” I just think “why would I read your book when I’m hearing the best parts for free on TV and in a lot less time than it takes to read a book?”
This is also why the book is never as good as the movie.
