The Man Who Would Not Shut Up:
The Rise of Bill O'Reilly

“Finally, somebody has attempted to explain and contextualize Billo's charlatanism. Plus, I really liked the parts about me.” -Keith Olbermann anchor of MSNBC’s newscast “Countdown.”

“The man Kitman writes about, I know him well, and this is the O'Reilly that I know--guts and all. Terrific!!!! ”- Mike Wallace (60 Minutes)
“It's difficult to imagine a better researched or less biased work about such a divisive figure as O'Reilly...” “Kitman's reportage on this paradoxical, maddening, yet inspiring, man does a fine job in letting the reader decide.” -Publishers weekly (Nov 5)

Marvin’s new book about Bill O’Reilly reveals his subject is “…evenly balanced-by that I mean he has a chip on both shoulders”.
Love him or hate him, you can’t ignore Bill O’Reilly. Numbers don’t lie: by march 2006, the O’Reilly Factor had been number one for 220 weeks, had over 4 million viewers and thousands of emails a day. What exactly was so fascinating?

Marvin Kitman, longtime media critic, author of eight books, noted George Washington scholar and one time presidential candidate had to find out. Marvin interviewed Bill O’Reilly 29 times, and left his own politics at the door. The book lets Bill be Bill and the readers draw their own conclusions. (Marvin being Marvin leaked some humor into the book.)

“The book will infuriate his fans as well as his enemies. I call them as I see them, based on thirty-five years of getting paid to watch the bad, the bemused, and the blond of TV news.” according to Marvin.
Fans of O’Reilly will love this book because of the word for word history from his own mouth and the insight they provide. Fans of Marvin will love the book for the painstaking research he is known for, as well as his wit.

The Making of the Prefident 1789
( with a foreword by John Cleese )

“Hilarious...The Making of the Prefident 1789
will entertain and fascinate even those who think
they hate history”
—James D. Fairbanks, The Houston Chronicle

“Kitman is applying today's standards to history,
and the result is by turns witty, funny,
and hysterically silly”
—Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times

     Just in time for election season, Grove Press is pleased to bring you Marvin Kitman’s
The Making of the Prefident 1789, now with a foreword by John Cleese.
    This unique historical account takes an irreverent look at the presidential campaign of our
most famous founding father, George Washington. Humorist Marvin Kitman argues that our
first president was also the first American leader to ride his personal foibles to political greatness.
     Through careful research Kitman exposes Washington’s tendency to climb the social ladder
and his weakness for cards and women. In the modern age, it seems not much has changed and
Marvin Kitman is a master at rendering the similarities between then and now.

George Washington's Expense Account
written by General George Washington
and Marvin Kitman PFC (Ret.),

“Kitman is a very funny writer and this is a funny book
...Compulsively readable ”
—The New York Times Book Review

“A funny, and genuine, new look at the Father of Our
Country...Kitman has come up with an intriguing
network of historical detection”
—San Francisco Chronicle

Just In time for President’s Day, Grove Press is pleased to re-issue
George Washington’ Expense Account by Marvin Kitman, an irreverent look at
the man who led the American people to victory in the Revolutionary War
 at the same time, riding his credit for all it was worth.

    Marvin Kitman is an acclaimed columnist and media critic for Newsday
and the author of several books. He is also the only know living co-author of
George Washington.
     In George Washington’ Expense Account, Kitman illustrates how Washington
slyly turns a noble gesture into an opportunity for gain. In a close examination
of the document that financed the American Revolution, Kitman uncovers the
original fiscal scandal. Washington refused compensation for his services
as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army and, through some creative accounting,
was able to indulge his insatiable appetites for fine food and drink, clothing and
accommodations.

This best-selling expense account in history
(written by the author of American victory over British tyranny) is destined for
the silver screen. Ben Stiller will soon direct a feature film for New Line Cinema based on
Marvin Kitman’s George Washington books, starring Steve Martin And John Cleese

The Marvin Kitman TV Show:
An EncyclopediaTelevisiana
(1973), Outerbridge & Diensfrey

The Marvin Kitman TV Show is compiled in encyclopedia style,
alphabetically. Marvin Kitman always wanted to write an encyclopedia.
A few of the shorter entries:

"The History of the Nude in TV"
Between 1945 and 1972, NBC twice showed nudes on serious drama programs.
Of course, they were only naked from the waist up, and they were men.
But it was a step in the right direction.

"Kitman's Law"
On the TV screen, pure drivel tends to drive off ordinary drivel.
