Fortunate Son: what's everyone's take on this book? [View All]

[anti_shrub]

I borrowed it from the library and have it on my Amazon list to buy, but does the fact that the author was involved in some shady dealings diminish the credibility of the book? We're so quick to point and laugh at freepers who read everything that criminals tell them, after all.

I guess what I'm asking is there any other sources that confirm what he says in his book, like Bush's cocaine arrest, so that when you confront right wingers they can't dismiss it by saying "oh you read that book by the guy who tried to blow up his co worker".
