NYT Book Review the Last Best Hope

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough's "Last Best Hope" is hanging in there at #25 for the second week on the NYT's best seller list after plummeting from #7 after a mere two weeks. 

The Times finally reviews it three weeks after The List debut and plunge, assuring a dusty future in remainder bins.  

If this book is indeed the last best hope of conservatism and America’s promise, well, it was nice knowing you.... To be sure, Scarborough is the host of “Morning Joe” on MSNBC, the most consistently engaging morning talk show on cable television. His co-host, Mika Brzezinski, and a stable of regulars that includes the accused plagiarist Mike Barnicle and the John Demjanjuk enthusiast Pat Buchanan (as well as the editor of the Book Review, Sam Tanenhaus) are a genuinely spirited crew who discuss and debate the news of the day with a mixture of conviction, knowledge and humor that is all too rare. Compared with, say, “Fox & Friends,” “Morning Joe” is the Algonquin Round Table on steroids, or at least Vivarin.

Did I miss the New York Times disclaimer about the "content-sharing parternship" with MSNBC/NBC/CNBC?    The ink-stained wretch with a face for TV, John Harwood, is the face man for the NYT/MSNBC once a week hour of power.  Obviously the book reviewer isn't fond of ex-Boston Globe plagiarist Mike Barnicle. The Pat Buchanan slam goes without saying, but his comment about the accused Nazi war criminal turned auto worker is particularly brutal.

This shouldn't be in the NYT Book Review.  It's a pimp of Joe's show. MSNBC could pluck promos from the aforementioned paragraph.
