According to the Book TV website,
Christopher Buckley presents a satirical view of the Supreme Court in his novel, “Supreme Courtship.” The former speechwriter for Vice President George H.W. Bush presents a fictionalized account of the justice appointment process and the results of what happens when a reality television show judge is nominated for appointment to the highest court in the United States. Christopher Buckley discusses his book and the intersection of politics and humor with Charles Kesler, editor of the Claremont Review of Books at BookExpo America in Los Angeles.For those of you interested in the book, here's an audio summary of it on National Review's Between the Covers.

Charles, I know how you like to follow CMCers in the news. Given that the Chairman of the CMC Trustees, Harry McMahon '75, is also the Vice Chairman of Merrill Lynch, is there any chance of writing up that company's fire sale to Bank of America this weekend? They say it was to avoid the same fate as Lehman.
Thanks for the tip, Anonymous, but Mr. McMahon isn't really involved in the decision wit Bank of America and Merrill Lynch & Co.
When he is quoted in the media, we'll be sure to make some kind of comment.
For what it's worth, I updated him as a famous alumni on the CMC wikipedia page...
