Books Bush Should Read

[Ezlivin]

By now we've all heard of the books that Bush is going to read while on vacation.

These are some of the books I think he should read.

"1984" - George Orwell
"It Can't Happen Here" - Sinclair Lewis
"The Sorrows of Empire" - Chalmers Johnson
"The Coming of the Third Reich" - Richard J. Evans
"The Culture of Make Believe" - Derrick Jensen
"One Nation, Underprivileged" - Mark Robert Rank
"Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace" - Gore Vidal
"Unintelligent Design" - Mark Perakh

What do you think should be on Bush's summer reading list?

1. I think he (or his handlers) has read them

How else do you explain what is going on in the country?

:grr:

2. "Nickel and Dimed" - Ehrenreich n/t

[Ezlivin]

5. That was a good, but scary, read

I don't know how anyone could not read "Nickel and Dimed" and not come away realizing how close to the edge so many Americans live.

If Ehrenreich did the study again, I wonder how the price of gasoline would skew things?

3. Shhhhhhhh....

You know he has sworn off reading ever since the "My Pet Goat Incident!"

Jeez, even getting him to read that was a chore!

[Gabi Hayes]

4. how often do these three words appear together in a sentence:

Bush, books, read?

[ScaRBama]

6. The Bible....

Maybe if he would read it he would finally see his version of it is quit different.

9. He has the "Speak and Say" version

It keeps the vocabulary from being too challenging, don't you know?

7. "On the Beach"

Every world leader should read that yearly.

[ProfessorGAC]

8. Yeah, Right!

Like he's ever read an entire book in his life. Even the books people say are his favorites are probably read by Laura and the gist explained to him.

He's dumber than dirt. He'd never get the meaning of the books on your list.

11. "The Ominous Parallels" by Dr. Leonard Peikoff....

...it's been a very long time since I read it in school....close to 20 years, but I believe it's about America's slow but steady turn right...the risks associated with unchecked right wing ideology...it projects an America which follows a path eerily similar to Nazi Germany. When I read the book at the time, I thought that was quite the leap of faith. Despite today's realities, I still do. Anyway, maybe a pop-up book version for George would be illuminating for him.

10. unless you can get him a pop-up version i don't it's gonna happen.

[Verve]

13. Give him a break!

He just finished reading the 700 page novel "I Am Charlotte Simmons" a few months ago. It was a tough read for him but the voyeuristic novel of a college woman's sex jaunts kept him turning the pages.

If you really thought our prez would be reading anything meaningful, you forgot who you're talking about.
