[UTUSN]

[Cha]

She's a pro! Smiling to beat the band!

She said she feels like "Queen of the Prom"!

Independent writers org. Washington D.C.

Kitty is a founding member of Independent Writers and a proud contributor to helping young writers.

[Cha]

11. "Ready to make matt lauer the

man of the year"! Ha! Good Cut!

I'm so glad to be hearing her speak on this.

[speedoo]

13. Subject: AND... "never had sex with Monica Lewinsky"!!!!

she is freaking hilarious.

And charming enough to get anyone to spill the beans.

Pretty amazing woman.

Now she is talking about how she does it.

[UTUSN]

12. "I never ever ask a NEGATIVE question..."

"It's insulting to the person and creates a bad impression of what you're doing."

[Cha]

16. Excellent attitude!

Having more respect for Kitty Kelley! Actually, I never had an opinion one way or the other about her before.

[Cha]

14. "Nasty things nancy said about

barbara bush"!!

[buycitgo]

15. what was that bit about big fat Bar and Nancy Reagan?

just saw the end of that

something about Nancy's drug program

the audience laughed

please?

EDIT

Xpost

fact

oh

[Cha]

18. Kitty called a Washington lady to find out about

Nancy's drug program and the lady said..I'm not going to say anything about those Nasty things Nancy said about
barbara bush"!!

Kitty said she got more than she bargained for in that phone call!

[UTUSN]

21. She called the woman JUST to ask

how much the women's group had raised for Nancy's anti-drug campaign and the woman said, "I guess you're calling to find out all the terrible things Bar said about Nancy..."

[UTUSN]

17. SMATHERS: "I was taken advantage of by a dumb looking blonde"

(about her quoting him.)

He told her he was present (in the room) while JFK was rockin' 'n'rollin'.

[Cha]

20. He "got run over"!

[dogtag]

19. Kitty is NOT a whack job!

She's smart, funny and is giving a great lesson on interviewing. Have I ever changed my mind about this woman.

[Cha]

22. Precisely! Nice to know our Kitty is

an intelligent, witty, articulate, pretty lady!

[UTUSN]

23. Hey, zid, Let's You & Me Write a Book - You Complete My Quotes! n/t

[Cha]

31. LOL! This is fun!

Talking about Sharon Bush now getting "dark alley" threats from neil bush now.

[UTUSN]

24. Whoa! Frank Jr Told Her He Knew What Happened to HOFFA

"I even wondered what I was going to wear to the Pulizer Prizes."

(Junior cut off the interview.)

[Cha]

29. Kitty wishes Stanley was there last year

when she was interviewing Sharon Bush! Perfect winding up of the Sinatra Jr story!

Stanley was her Photographer!

[UTUSN]

25. " 'Speak the truth but ride a fast horse' " (from TWAIN?) n/t

[htuttle]

27. That one was a cowboy saying

The Twain quote was the other one about spelling a word one way.

[Lex]

28. "I have no use for a man who can spell a word only one way."

I think that was the Mark Twain quote, wasn't it?

[Lex]

26. "Speak the truth, but ride a fast horse!"

That's her motto, she says.

[UTUSN]

30. Questions from Audience: Doing the Sharon Neil Shrub Interview

Sharon and her rep were going to leak the KELLEY interview to leverage her divorce negotiations.

[Cha]

34. Doesn't write about people who are dead...

only about people who are alive and can defend themselves against these revelations!!

[UTUSN]

32. Sharon: "Bar runs the family. They'll do anything she wants."

Message from Neil, Sharon says it said if Sharon wrote a book she'd find herself in a dark alley.

[Lex]

33. She repeats that Neil Bush threatened Sharon and said

to her "You might find yourself in a dark alley one day."

Yikes.

[Cha]

40. Young writer wants to know why mainstream

media hasn't picked up on ghwb's MISTRESSES?!!

BRAWAWAWWAWAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!:D

[CatWoman]

35. LOL

The audience questions are nothing but glee and gossip at *'s expense.

[buycitgo]

39. young woman asks why the media didn't cover GHWB's mistresses

she was SMOKIN hot!

[UTUSN]

42. HEY! Stay on the Job REPORTING. Suspend the Flirting

Jeezz, you and CatWoman!

[buycitgo]

44. she WAS, and IS hot, though

now she's talking about Larry King, but I missed it

she was asked if it was true that he won't have her on show, due to WH pressure

WH called pres. of NBC news that they ought not have her on Today show

Larry King did not invite her, despite her being on show for EVERY book she's ever written!

he took a pass

Imus cancelled

OReilly polled voters and cancelled her

fox network morning news cancelled

she has felt the pressure, and it has FRIGHTENED the american media

amazing

[UTUSN]

53. Of COURSE You Missed a Detail - You Were Busy DROOLING! n/t

[buycitgo]

60. wrong! typing with one hand, maybe.....no drool

[CatWoman]

56. *smooch*

:hi:

[buycitgo]

36. she left out A LOT

how can this stuff sorta LEAK?

[UTUSN]

37. Rev. Sloan COFFIN, "Don't write about them - they're so BORING!"

She said, 2-pRezes in the WH, blah-blah, not boring. "He replied, "TRUST me - I've known them since Yale------they're BORING!"

[wishlist]

38. Kitty is very convincing and credible about the Sharon Bush allegations

Kitty has the divorce records and depositions from the Sharon-Neil divorce and says it was brutal, in response to question about whether Bushes treated Sharon in a 'Christian' way. Says Sharon told her that Neil made a threatening statement on her answering machine about Sharon winding up in a dark alley, but that Kitty did not include that in the book because she did not hear the tape Sharon claimed to have.

[UTUSN]

41. Q: "Why media hasn't picked up on Poppy's (many) mistresses"

KELLEY sez (coyly), "Maybe they haven't had time..."

[Cha]

45. Good Question from former president of

Independent writers.."Is it true about larry king and the pressure brought on him not to have you on his show?"

"Larry King did not extend an invitation to me to be on his show"!

imus passed, o'lliely polled his stupid listeners and they passed!

This is going to be GANGBUSTERS!

[cheshire]

43. She does make me want to read this. I want to see their tactics.

[Cha]

50. I'm definetly Reading this book!

I like Kitty Kelley!

[buycitgo]

55. I stopped at Costco on the way home Tuesday, and they didn't have it

didn't know a THING about it

huge endrow display of My Life, though

didn't see swiftboatliars

[CatWoman]

82. I'm getting it from Sam's Club

they have it for 18 bucks

:D

[buycitgo]

83. PLEASE don't buy from them

they are EVIL

I'll send you the difference from what you pay any INDEPENDENT book dealer

I mean it

do NOT buy anything from them

no costco there?

[CatWoman]

84. The nearest Costco is very, very far away

whereas Sams is only five minutes away.

[buycitgo]

89. Long ago, too? I mean it.....I'll pay you the difference

let me know

[UTUSN]

46. Q: Larry KING Refusing to Host Her

White House called prez of NBC and told him not to have her on Today show. "Larry KING did not extend an invitation.... I've done his show for every book of my books. IMUS cancelled. O'REILLY polled his (fans) and took a pass.... Fox News cancelled. So, yes, I have felt the pressure of the WH... American media are very, very frightened. Kill the messenger before the message gets out."

[buycitgo]

49. she was NOTHING but gracious about King

praised him highly, btw

what a WORM he is

[Lex]

52. Shows how the White House has him on a leash. Sold out old coot.

He's just a tool.

[buycitgo]

59. zackly....thinking the EXACT same thing

no WONDER they want him to moderate "debates"

[Cha]

54. WE knew that, but yeah, more proof!

[Lex]

47. She says the White House has the media very frightened.

We knew that, didn't we?

[oasis]

48. Washington Independent Writers support her. We should support both.

:thumbsup:

[Cha]

57. Yes! And Doubleday!

[oasis]

74. And C-SPAN. I'll strongly recommend the replay of this broadcast to all.

[buycitgo]

51. handed the lawyers TEN THOUSAND pages of tape transcripts!

[buycitgo]

58. would NOT have had Watergate without the upstanding

Lowell Weicker!

three pugs, three dems voting on giving Dean immunity, and Weicker crossed over

interesting

[UTUSN]

61. Q: Handling LAUER

LAUER playing golf with Poppy. "I have no regrets. I saw a picture of him (on the green). I think Matt LAUER might have a bias in interviewing me. I don't remember much about those 3 days. I had a flower on my blazer and he said, 'Oh, Kitty, is that a SQUIRTING flower?' And I said, 'No, but I HAVE been patted down for explosives.' "

LAUER is a bigger p***K than we knew.

[Lex]

62. "This White House has turned the press corps into its stenographers!"

so sayeth Kitty Kelley.

I love this lady!

[Cha]

63. Talking about "The Today Show".

"You play golf with the president(sic)"

"Was that a throw away line?" .. "No I don't regret saying it"

Low count press conference for shrub.

Comment on matty lower's interviewing techniques!

matty lower.."there wasn't one postive thing in this book"!

"THe blood thins as it goes down the line."!

[dogtag]

64. THE BLOOD THINS !!!!!

Bush family motto!

[UTUSN]

65. Haha, "The blood thins as you go down the line" n/t

[UTUSN]

66. Chapter 20 - How each Bush made his money - "No public accountability"

"There is a rampaging ambition in each (Shrub). (Shrub) would never have run for gov of TX if (Jeb Crow Shrub) had not announced for gov of FL."

[buycitgo]

67. he was SUCH a ''screwup'' in early 70s that they SENT him

to alabama

clearly talked/knew about Allison's tale

I'd have used a different word than screwup

[wishlist]

68. She says "The blood thins as it goes down the line"= huge dig at W

She says some very positive things about Prescott when he became a Senator and stood up against McCarthyism etc, and mentions that daddyBush had 141 press conferences, whereas babyBush has only had 12. She apparently has a much lower opinion of W than the daddy and granddaddy and even says W was a major screwup in the early 70's and they got him out of Texas to work on the Alabama campaign for that reason.

Also she says accumulating wealth is the 11th commandment for this family. These men are motivated by need for power she says.

[wishlist]

72. Laura is a product of the "drug generation" and was a Democrat Kitty says

Laura worked for Eugene McCarthy and was anti-war during Vietnam era. She says Laura has kind of a dazed look and that it is pathetic how they are putting her on display now.

[canuckybee]

69. I went out to get the book tonight at dinner time

I got the last copy in the store. As I was paying, two separate customers came in looking for a copy. This is going to be HUGE !!! ( I picked up a copy of Intelligence Matters to )

[Cha]

70. Turn to chapter 20...how each one made their

MONEY!

Rampaging ambition! chimp wouldn't have gone for gov of Texas if jeeby hadn't had announced he was going for gov of Florida!

a president(sic)who actively lets his religion influence policy..unlike Kennedy who 40 years ago said he wouldn't let his Religion influence his policy.

laura has a glassy look..It's not just us who think that!

[UTUSN]

71. "Laura ----dazed-----a product of the drug generation"

"She was a Democrat. Her favorite first lady was Lady Bird. She worked for anti-war Eugene McCARTHY."

[Bluebear]

73. "It was pathetic how they rolled her out to address stem cell research..."

[Cha]

80. Kitty sounded like DUer!

She made some of our greatest points and MOre!

[newsguyatl]

75. this has been wonderful

i can't wait to get the book.

listening to her now, she comes across as extremely intelligent and backed up with fact. i can't believe all the horrible things people here have said about her. i don't see it at all.

[Cha]

Kitty to her republican father.."just be glad

barbara bush is not the head of the Library of Congress"..after she took away Kitty's books from the Smithsonian!

[Lex]

77. She's a class act all the way.

People obviously adore her too.

I'm glad I was able to see the last half of this.

[Cha]

79. It sounds like they hadn't really listened to her

before. Some kind of bias.

[htuttle]

76. Barbara Bush had Kitty's exhibit removed from the Smithsonian?

Just like that? Damn her!

[UTUSN]

78. Proceeds of THIS Book Signing Go to Independent Writers, Not to Her n/t

[spooky3]

81. a BRILLIANT PR move.

[oasis]

86. Independent Writers and their legal fund. A watchdog group in the making?
