Alright...when does the Coke Story break big?

[Teaser]

So far only a motley few outlets have carried it.

How long until it really busts open?

[Nite Owl]

1. The book comes out on the 14th

so hopefully then. Sure she will be making the rounds she isn't new at this stuff.

[EnfantTerrible]

3. What book?

Help... I'm woefully uninformed...

[City Lights]

5. Kitty Kelley's book.

She claims that george II snorted coke at Camp David while george I was president. She claims it happened more than once. Look through the GD and GD2004 threads. There are lots of them.

[EnfantTerrible]

22. The 14th is going to be a rough day for chim...

with Seymour Hersh's book coming out as well

[EnfantTerrible]

2. What coke story...

where? who?

[Stephanie]

4. George W. Bush did cocaine at Camp David

while his dad was president. Check out the one jillion threads posted here about it.

[EnfantTerrible]

6. I hide my head in shame...

...and slink to the archives...

[aquart]

9. Please. I thought there was a corporate problem at Coca Cola.

And I KNEW about the cocaine at Camp David.

BTW, there's nice alliteration there: Coke at Camp David. Cocaine at Camp David.

7. when rupert murdoch dies

seriously, i am holding my breath. if this and bob graham's book do not stick, the whole friggin world is rigged.

8. watch how the media avoids these two books and pumps the puppet in the WH

[MindPilot]

10. Don't get your hopes up; this will get buried by the press as well

Just another falsehood cooked up by the LIEberal media to discredit our god-appointer protector.

He could be on video hoovering a rail off a hooker's ass on the Oval Office desk, and the media would tell us that he found Jayzuuz so it's OK.

There is probably nothing Kitty Kelly has to say that anyone with two brain cells and a modem didn't know four years ago. Nobody cared then, why do you think they would care now?

13. how can the media even try to claim

its fair...if they pimp the Unfit for Command book that is based on lie after lie...but this book will get buried>???? how can that be??? ugghhh I am pumped up today!

[MallRat]

16. "hoovering a rail?"

Hmmm. Never heard that one before.

(opens book, scribbles notes under 'slang')

[sundog]

11. You think the media will run with it?? Bwhahahaha

Wake up and smell the bushit.

But if JK pissed in a cornfield 20 years ago, they'd say it was indecent exposure & the media would be on it like flies :eyes:

15. i can just see tweety get on his high horse

and say gossip, rumors, i will not be a part of it, as he embraced the swift boat story and fed to the nation

[City Lights]

19. I don't always agree with matthews, but he was tough on

larry thurlow. "Embraced" isn't the word I would use to describe matthew's response to the story larry was peddling that night.

[seabeyond]

20. was for the first couple weeks

until he was hit up the head and saw a lie. remember had repug and dem representatives talking it. tweety says the doctor in the ad is the one that made me think about it. and the dem told him, the doctor was not the one that treated kerry, his name wasnt the one on his medical records. he wasnt there. and that stopped tweety cold in the tracts. it was after that he began going after swift boat

[Ducks In A Row]

12. Will Carville make the rethug's head spin today...

like yesterday when he mentioned it?

I hope so, that was so funny.

[deutsey]

14. Maybe 2959 A.D.?

I'm sure the Bush/Corporate deathgrip on earth will have loosened by then...

:eyes:

[Killarney]

17. It won't.

18. Chicago Sun Times and Boston Herald have published story

http://www.suntimes.com/output/elect/cst-nws-bush071.html

http://news.bostonherald.com/election/view.bg?articleid=43105

Let's see if it gets a toehold.

From Daily Kos:

Kitty Kelley's publicist must be smiling this morning. So, too, is Matt Drudge. News of the book's shocking Bush family revelations is starting to spread in perfect cadence to the book's September 14th release schedule.
First, the London Daily Mirror broke the coke story. Matt Drudge then headlined the Mirror report. The Times of India picked up the Mirror's version.

With the buzz going abroad, it was too much for two U.S. newspapers to resist, though both tried to temper the news with misleading headlines. The Chicago Sun-Times headline: Book: Bush 'did coke at Camp David' years ago. The Boston Herald: Book: Bush once snorted cocaine at Camp David.

The Sun-Times added "years ago" to their headline. (It was about 12. That's at least arguable.) The Boston Herald, however, got the headline wrong by inserting the word "once," and it clashes with the second paragraph of its own story. (The book alleges multiple cocaine episodes at Camp David.)
From a book publicist's point of view, this gradual ramp-up of interest in the book is perfect. It means the book will be in the news for many days as more and more media outlets are dragged, perhaps reluctantly, into reporting on the book.
