...issued a terse press release canceling the book. Connolly, a true believer in the right wing-conspiracy theory of Clinton's impeachment, called Brown "a coward" for abandoning it.

...threshold for SINEAD O'CONNOR to make it onto this page is pretty high. When you've enraged Frank Sinatra, defaced a picture of Pope John Paul II on national television and later been "ordained" a Catholic priest, no mere dustup/divorce/nude-photo scandal will cut it.

But that wasn't the end of Richardson's nonchalance. In a statement apparently devoid of irony, he reportedly complained that the creation...
