New Kitty Kelly book on Bush Family due out
Although I've never read her work, she sure pissed off thee Repubs with her Nancy Reagan book. Copied from MSNBC:


Foes of the president are salivating over a description of Kitty Kelley’s forthcoming tell-all about George Bush and his kin. “The Family: the Real Story of the Bush Dynasty” goes on sale Sept. 14, and the description on Amazon.com promises that Kelley — who made international headlines with her scathing Nancy Reagan bio — will reveal “the matriarchs, the mistresses, the marriages, the divorces, the jealousies, the hypocrisies, the golden children, and the black sheep” of the first family

4. Her Book on Nancy Reagan Was Very Well Researched.
I found it very balanced and fair, even though the Reagans hated it.

Kelly was the first to truly document that it was Nancy Reagan who pushed Ronald into dealing with Gorbachev against the right-wingers on his staff.

I think that this Kelly book will make all the other tell-tales about the Bushies seem as if they were only...bush leaguers.

7. Didn't the Nancy Reagan bio mention Poppy Bush's drunken driving?
I recall something in the Kitty Kelly book about a dinner party at the White House that Nancy and Ronnie Raygun were hosting when Secret Service suddenly arrived, informing them that then Vice President George H.W. Bush had had an auto accident while driving drunk, with a woman in his car who was not his wife. Apparently, Nancy Reagan and the others at the dinner had a good laugh over George Bush's antics and Raygun had to intervene with the police to keep it out of the papers.

8. I found her Reagan book
over the top. Mind you, I enjoyed it, but it was pretty out there. For some reason the only thing that stuck in my mind was the story of Nancy's back seat sex romps. I imagine there will be plenty of dirt in this book too.

11. We needn't worry about the Kerry campaign getting word out
about all the horrors of Bush family history. Let Kitty do it. I think the media feeding frenzy this book will generate is all we need to make September a wonderful month for Democrats.

12. This is the book that Neils ex-wife collaborated on
She tells all about the inner workings of this family----I'm waiting for some lawsuit to spring up because apparently in the beginning there was some legal deal that it had to wait until after the elections; but finally Kelly and/or publishers, said "fuck it" and went ahead. I hope and pray this thing is able to get out without the BFEE throwing their crime family lawyers at her.
