Staying Off His Knees With Henry

Don'tPrayForMe

The Globe and (nolongerempire)Mail's gossip lady, Patricia Best, while working behind the subscription wailing wall, mentioned that Conrad Black himself attempted to float a real Lead Zeppelin at a recent Center of the Universe get together where the high and mighty came to hear Robert Kaplan (this one, not that one) wave his Rumsfeldian Pom-Poms.

The gist of it?

Apparently the Nixon family has asked the embattled, but never bitter, tycoon to go long for the Trickster's legacy and write him a biographical blockbuster.

Then, after the successful self-induced launch of this, 'Look at me, I still matter!' scrap-iron Airship, Mr. Black immediately crashed it by informing Ms. Best's spies that he turned the Nixon folks down, flat, because he is way too busy reading to write another book.

Reading what, we can only wonder?

History, legal briefs, or maybe all that stuff that was in those boxes he was so eager to get his hands on?
