THE book - Holy Guacamole!
Just got this email...gotta pre order now, pre order Graham book also and get free shipping at Amazon!
-------------

How Barbara Bush ran over a Guatamalan with her golf cart and tried to compensate the grieving family with "colorful beads." How George Bush senior went whoring with Sam Peckinpah in Mexico during pre-production of The Wild Bunch. The Elvis White Panty Parties that the teenage Bush twins would reenact for the sordid entertainment of Prince Bandhar on "Saudi Night" at the Crawford ranch. Laura Bush smoking Kools and nagging her husband about how come the ranch isn't staffed with "strapping bucks" like the plantation in Mandingo. And then there is the chapter devoted to George Bush's lost years in the National Guard, and his special bunkmate, who knew the ingredients of a great rubdown.

But I think we should wait for the book itself before chipping in to buy Kitty a tiara and crown her our Queen. We have been disappointed before hoping this book (Richard Clarke's) or that (Ron Suskind's) would diminish the boyish charm of George Bush in the public's eyes.

Nevertheless, I've preordered my copy and urge all Americans and illegal immigrants to do likewise.

1. Doesn't it sound too over the top
for anyone to believe. While I hate the man, even I find it a bit much.

3. I'd have thought the smearvets were too over the top to be believed
Apparently I was wrong.

4. Then again
Who would have ever thought anyone would believe the SBV lies? So maybe I'm wrong.

5. you never know what's going on
in people's houses. Most of us would probably be amazed at what goes on right next door.

7. Non-campaign dems should be whispering the shit out of this.
In fact, a well funded 527 ad campaign is just what the doctor ordered--if only for the purpose of fucking with the media when they don't give it the same play as the swift boat lars.

10. The problem with the other books..................
is they are being read by people who keeep informed and therefore are VERY likely, anti-Bush, if not outright huge Kerry supporters. Therefore, not a big bump to the rank and file informed voter, who already knew enough about Bush to vote Kerry.

However, Kelley's book will appeal to so-called soccer moms, the bridge club and lunch ladies and the beauty shop devotees who generally vote for "cute" (though I find that laughable) or however their husband is voting. They will read this book or at least the National Enquirer et al. excerpts.

Besides that, the gossip mill will probably inflate the stuff to high heaven. These are the people we need to break through to, the ones who don't vote with any form of logic.

We only need to keep the flames fanned until November 2. Surely, to most "undecided" types (and what thinking, informed voter can possibly be undecided) those who decide on the way to the polls, this should really be a ripe audience for Kelley.

12. Why oh why is this presidency so secretive?
Edited on Mon Sep-06-04 03:30 PM by secondtermdenier
What oh what is so shameful that it cannot see the sunlight? What awful acts are being performed on the S.S. Monkey Business even as we speak :scared: :cry: ? I can only imagine....

"George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney have created the most secretive presidency of my lifetime. Their secrecy is far worse than during Watergate, and it bodes even more serious consequences."- John Dean


Jaded Yglesias: "In this strange, strange universe I've come to recognize as the real world, Kitty Kelly becomes the Great White Hope of liberalism. In this world, fucked-up and superficial as it is, merely noting that Bush's policies are failing disastrously isn't good enough."
