And it's not the kind his press people had in mind.

The 216-page paperback, Frozen Lightning: Bill Richardson's Strike on the Political Landscape of New Mexico is a recap of the governor's mishaps, according to author Bill Althouse.

"In exploring the theme of Richardson's political genius, an epic portrait of a megalomaniac emerges, rendered in the unflattering light case by a politican driven to evil by his presidential aspirations," the back of the book reads.

Chapter topics include "Government embedding with the media," "New Mexico as Richardson's stepping stone."

That sounds like interesting reading.

Richardson's office said it is aware of the book, but hasn't seen it.

I'm still trying to reach Althouse to see what inspired him. . . Check out this to learn more.

UPDATE:

Althouse e-mailed me this weekend to say I've given him too much credit.

He said he wrote one article about Richardson for the book, called From Kissenger, To Enron and Beyond.

But he also said the rest of the book was written by New Mexicans who chose to remain anonymous. . .
