Description
The autobiography every true American has been waiting for: a shockingly candid and raw confessional from a national treasure. America's most trusted and beloved television News Ancho, Ron Burgundy, pulls no punches in Let Me Off at the Top! Burgundy tells the tale of his humble beginnings in a desolate Iowa coal-mining town to his years at Our Lady Queen of Chewbacca High School to his odds-defying climb to the dizzying heights of Anchordom. In his very oen words Burgundy reveals his most private thoughts, his triumphs - and his disappoinments. His life reads like an adventure story complete with knockdown fights, beautiful women and double-fisted excitement on every page. He has hunted jackalopes with Bobby Kennedy and Peter Lawford, had more than his share of amorous exploits and formed the greatest on-air team in the history of televised news. ALong the way, he's hobnobbed with people you wish you knew and some you honestly wish you didn't - celebrities, presidents, presidents' wives, celebrities' wives, dogs, and, of course, Veronica Corningstone, the love of his life. Walter Cronkite, Barbra Streisand, Katie Couric, the list goes on. Who didn't Mr. Burgundy, of "Ron," as he is known to his friends, rub elbows with in the course of his colorful and often criminal life? This may well be the most thrilling book ever written, by a man of great physical, moral, and spiritual strength and, not surprisingly, a great literary talent as well. This book deserves a real shot at a Pulitzer Prize. In fact, if it doesn't win one, then we will finally have proof that the Pulitzer is rigged. Ron Burgundy has taken the time to write a book. We owe it to him, as honest Americans, to read it. --
