Here is a short list of synopsi for political thrillers I think would probably be rejected by any sane editor.
THE PRESIDENT'S PANTS: Hunky, skirt chasing President Tincoln gets caught with his pants down in the oval office, fooling around with a white house intern. Can he escape impeachment?
EDITOR'S COMMENTS: No president would be dumb enough to get caught making whoopie with an intern. I highly doubt the opposing party would care enough or have enough clout to bring such a thing to the stage of impeachment, and It's a foregone conclusion that the public wouldn't care. Next time, try doing some research into the way our government really works
SUPREME VOTE: The American public is forced to choose between two unproven candidates. Former VP Bert Roge has all the experience, and none of the charisma. Frat boy, Greg Shrub is as charming as the lame duck, President Tincoln, and rides the coat tails of his ex-presidential uncle, Gary. After a tense election cycle, the final vote is too close to call. Can the Supreme Court decide which man is better fit for office?
EDITOR'S COMMENTS: I recall you character, Tincoln, from a previous submission. Can you give it a rest already? Nobody will buy into your cartoonish political universe. I strongly suggest you do some research. There is no way that a vote would come so close that the electoral college couldn't make the deciding vote, and even if such a ridiculous scenario could be beleived, there's no way the Supreme Court would be left to decide the presidency. Supreme Vote, is supremely stupid!
EMERGENCY!: America is under attack! In a highly orchestrated strike agains civilian targets, Arab terrorists have flown American jets into both Trade Center towers, and the Pentagon. Does newly elected president Greg Shrub have what it takes to handle the crisis?
EDITOR'S COMMENTS: I really wish you would stop sending these manuscripts! Your corny choice of September 11th, is obviously decrypted into 911 - the number for emergency in our country. That alone is such a transparent device, I can't imagine readers not throwing this one at the wall. But the premise itself is even more ridiculous. How "70's" is this hijacking theme? And you utterly fail to explain how these terrorists could have gotten onto the planes, much less taken control of them. There's a thing called NORAD. Look it up! In reality, these plains would've been stopped long before they acheived their goals. I almost enjoyed the whole "Godzilla" feel to the destruction of NYC, but come on! If anything, your plots, and their tiresome characters are getting worse with every attempt. Maybe you should think about a different career. The only emergency going on is the one where rescue workers stop you from torturing the public with your lame manuscripts.
City By The Sea: A devistating hurricane destroys the city of New Orleans. Can President Gary Shrub save the doomed city when all his troops are busy in the war against the evil Osamadam in Turkey?
EDITOR'S COMMENTS: Real sublte with the whole Atlantis theme. I'm sure nobody will pick up on that... who isn't retarded! Like how you made the Super Dome into a metaphore for Noah's Ark. Really believable... not! As if a storm of such ferocity would ever hit the Big Easy. And even if it did, you did a poor job of explaining why they had no defenses. In reality, the government has been working for years to protect that city from this kind of devestation. Do you research! Nobody is going to buy this "Osamadam" character. In case you don't know, it's a racial slur. Islamic people are not plotting to kill America, and even if they didn't like us, it's beyond the pale to imagine they'd declare war on the world's only superpower.
I beg of you! Please stop writing! You are the most reliably awful writer I've ever had the displeasure to deal with. If you must continue on with this unrealistic, paranoiac crap, please publish it via POD or E-Book.
