LOL!! Kitty Kelley's Shocking Revelations!!
You have to check this out....

"I have obtained an advance copy of the book, and will now share the even more shocking revelations contained within!

1. Iraq didn't have any WMD, or any significant ties to al Qaeda! The war has cost over $200 billion dollars, and Iraq's oil wealth has not paid for reconstruction! Also, Iraqis have not welcomed coalition troops with flowers and candy, and over 1,000 American troops have died, the country's falling apart in ethnic and nationalist violence, and the best excuse for this clusterfuck anyone can offer is some happy talk about painting schools and turning metaphorical corners!

2. George W. Bush is not a West Texas rancher whose simple heartland values and quiet inner strength have guided his climb to political and financial success! Actually, he was born into a wealthy Eastern establishment family, his grandfather was a US Congressman, and his father was a US Congressman, Director of the CIA, and Vice-President and President of the United States! George W. Bush went to Harvard and Yale, where he didn't work very hard; he was a spoiled rich wastrel until at least his 40th birthday; he summers in toney Kennebunkport, Maine; he has relied on his family's wealth and influence to get everything he got in life; and his Southern accent is totally phony!"

8. It's satire...the author does not have an "advance copy" of the book
That's the joke. Nothing in the article is "from" the book.

:evilgrin:

7. Pretty sharp satire...
...and point well taken by the author.

There may be "shocking" material in Kelley's book (and yes, I plan to read it)...BUT...I doubt that there will be any MAJOR "surprises" for anyone who's even casually followed Bush's life as a matter of public record.

I have to admit that I'd love to see Hannity challenge the facts behind "George W. Bush is an idiot! Really! He can't form a coherent sentence, he shows no aptitude for or interest in any intellectual pursuit, and he routinely embarrasses himself and the country with his shocking displays of ignorance! He falls down constantly, and he almost died eating a pretzel!"...

10. LOL
come on now, his family is from Connecticut, but little Georgie was raise in Texas from the age of about 2yrs old. he's all Texan

Try this book The Bushes , portrait of a dynasty you might be surprised. look out for all the phony books that are just showing up to make a quick buck off of telling you what you wont to hear, conformation books I call them. lots of trickery with the way things are worded.
