In case you were wondering, the publishing industry is also a big giant scam.

$10 million to "write" his post-presidency memoir.

The man can't string a sentence together and he's gonna write a couple hundred page memoir? Who are we fooling here?

From The Hill:

Hachette Book Group paid the roughly $10 million figure to Biden for the book to be published by its Little, Brown & Co., The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.

Creative Artists Agency, which represents Biden, declined ITK's requests for comment, while the publisher did not immediately respond.

Biden's memoir is fetching a much, much smaller bonus than the Obamas' who held a bidding war for the right to their memoirs and earned $60 million.

Bill Clinton's memoirs after his term in office brought in $15 million.

Biden said earlier this month he had been 'working like hell' to write a memoir documenting his presidency.

Sure, Joe!
