Governor Jan Brewer has apparently found a good place to spend some of the donations she is getting to her federal political action committee: buying her own books. 

Brewer set up the PAC last fall to take individual and corporate donations she could use to help elect congressional candidates she likes and defeat those she does not. And to help spur donations, the governor promised anyone who gives at least $100 a copy of her book, Scorpions for Breakfast, her screed about her battles with the Obama administration over immigration. In the first three months this year Brewer collected more than $31,000. But the governor paid nearly $2,500 of that to Amazon.com to buy 150 copies of her book. Spokesman Paul Senseman said it's not like Brewer can simply give away the books.

Three months after she published her unflattering description of him, it appears President Obama is still miffed with Gov. Jan Brewer. Arizona Public Radio's Howard Fischer explains.

On Wednesday the president flew into Phoenix as part of a multi-state tour following the State of the Union address. Brewer said she greeted him at the airport and gave him a hand-written note asking that they get together at some point to talk.

"And he changed the subject to my book, Scorpions for Breakfast, and was a little bit disenchanted, if you will, about how he was portrayed," Brewer said.
