And Linder dashes the dreams of Republicans clinging to the rungs below him

After the rally in downtown Atlanta on Tuesday, U.S. Rep. John Linder said he and radio guru Neal Boortz are working on a paperback sequel to their wildly successful “The Fair Tax Book.”

There’s no publication date yet, but Linder said he didn’t think it would take long to pull the necessary information together.

He described the next book as one that will “take the most urgent questions [about the FairTax idea] and answer them.” It’s a response, he said, to some of the misinformation that has been put out on the issue.

There have also been some faint rumblings that Linder might call it quits in Congress. He’ll have served 16 years in 2008. So we asked Linder if he plans to run for another term.

His answer, in a clipped, Linderesque tone, was “yes.”

That wind you just felt was the collective sigh of a dozen or so state lawmakers with ambitions of their own.
