The Daily Show's Jason Jones Does Cape Wind

Jason_wendy_4
Yup, That's Wendy and The Book on the Daily Show.
Just after publication of her new book, Wendy introduced Jason Jones to the joys of the mega-wealthy on Olde Cape Cod.

The Daily Show tried to talk to Ted Kennedy himself, locally known as The Tedster, about why the ambitious clean energy project known as Cape Wind so upsets the Senior Senator, but Ted wouldn’t come out of his house.

We can’t figure out why.

Isn’t he proud of trying to protect the area for those who live here?

Meanwhile, praise for the book just keeps rolling in:

“Editor’s Choice,” New York Times Sunday Book Review

“a book that will give some indigestion and others lip-smacking delight,” Barnstable Patriot

“a page-turner,” Boston Magazine

“a great new book,” Sean Hannity;

“yes, this book is lots of fun,” Alex Beam, Boston Globe.

"Pick up “Cape Wind” and read about the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of American public policy. It certainly made up my mind about Mitt Romney – and confirmed my unfavorable views of much of the Kennedy clan."
-- David M. Kinchen, Huntington News Network Book Critic

Praise for Cape Wind

  • St. Petersburg Times
    "enough political intrigue to keep a John Grisham fan happy...."
  • Boston Globe
    "yes, this book is lots of fun...."
  • Boston Magazine
    "a page turner...."
  • New York Times Sunday Book Review
    "Editors choice"
  • The Wall Street Journal
    "a ripe subject, populated with the sort of people who would be among the first to count themselves as friends of the Earth but the last to accept an environmentally friendly energy source if it meant the slightest cloud on their ocean views."
  • Robert Sullivan, New York Times Sunday Book Review
    “A great summer beach read about longtime summer beach communities, “Cape Wind” describes how the alliance managed to raise $4 million in one ballroom meeting at the Wianno Club, where the ‘grass-roots’ campaign against the ‘industrial complex’ of offshore ‘Cuisinarts’ was kicked off by Douglas Yearley, a copper mining executive whose company was fined for killing birds in an acid runoff mishap in 2000, among other infractions.”
