Publicists Wont Touch Hicks Book..

Ok, this guy has some creds. He is the Publicist for one of my all time favourite Celebrities Angry Anderson. And he obviously has a sense of decency too judging by this article...

Not even Max Markson would deal with Hicks

IN 25 years as a publicist, Max Markson has made money by representing all sorts of characters. But he draws the line at David Hicks.

Mr Markson said he found Hicks so offensive he would never have anything to do him, despite the fact he believed book deals and syndicated interviews with him could easily yield more than $1 million.

He believed the first photograph of Hicks would be worth $250,000 in worldwide rights.

There would also be another $400,000 in story deals from newspapers and magazines and $450,000 for television interviews, according to Mr Markson.

Despite the big money, Mr Markson said he would not represent him even if he were on a 100per cent commission.

"He is a convicted terrorist and an outspoken anti-Semite. I'm Jewish and very proud of that. I'm pro-American. I would not represent him for any amount of money," he said. Link


While I am in no doubt that some low life, bottom feeding publicist WILL pick up this story, it is nice to see someone with some credibility extending the middle finger in Hicks direction!!

Someone will publish him. Worse luck! Why the hell should he make money out of it all? I read somewhere that the US has said that if he does make money from telling his story, he has to hand it over to the Australian Government. Well...the little shit has cost the aussie taxpayers a fortune already.
