Kitty Kelly's book is a good thing, and here's why.....

[trumad]

Because the Democratic party and it's operatives had nothing to do with it. This book will cause a big stir and it will be Dubya's Swift Boat and will put a hurting on him. Guys...don't be afraid of this book and don't be afraid that it will successfully be linked to the Dems... Rove is good but he's not that good. This is a perfect smear of the Boy idiot and we have no finger prints on it at all. It's fucking perfect.

1. yup that's the ticket n/t

[brainshrub]

2. Did Kelly ever write a book about the Clinton's?

[jab105]

14. no, the Republicans had 8 years of "writing the book"

on the Clintons:)

[Cha]

3. I'm Not afraid of it and am looking forward to reading

some of the things that the bushies do when they think no one is looking. I thought Sharon bush was going to keep quiet as part of her divorce settlement and am glad to see I was Wrong.

[kentuck]

4. we are assuming the media will hype it in a similar manner...

There is no reason to believe that wil occur....they may more or less ignore it...

[Scorpious_Maximus]

6. Bombard the media

The trick to coverage is to bombard the media with email.

It is the ONLY way to get them interested.

[trumad]

8. Oh the media loves this shit big time

come on...You know they love this OJ, Kobe, Perterson type of shit... This will play....

[Flubadubya]

19. I dunno Trumad...

The Media have been pretty aggressively protective of their little turd to date. :evilgrin:

[carolinayellowdog]

11. Random House is part of "the media"

and Kelley is an established media darling who has had a string of hits.

I'd normally be skeptical, but this will be all over TV and print media and dominate the second half of September. Good backdrop for the debates.

[the Kelly Gang]

16. isn't Random House Murdoch owned ?..hopefully all his media will

cover it

[Nite Owl]

5. Hopefully what it will do is

plant doubt that will make the more important things like Bob Grahams book get listened to. Right now * has this aura of character for some reason and this can start cracking it and let the truth be seen. Kerry doesn't have to say a word.

[carolinayellowdog]

7. Kelley will break through media filters

with tales that if brought up by Kerry or associates would either be ignored or turned against the Democrats. This will be the most significant political book in decades in terms of the damage it does to a sitting president.

Just over a week to go!

[Triana]

9. As another wise DUer said - she's not a 527, either...

...mwahahaaaaaaaaaaa!

[trumad]

10. exfrickingactly....

...mwahahaaaaaaaaaaa! ...mwahahaaaaaaaaaaa!

[ellie]

I'm surprised that Karl Rove

let her write this book. Look what happened to James Hatfield!

[Amaya]

12. Do you actually think that Rove and Co didn't know this was coming out?

Something about this book doesn't sit right. It's too perfect. Honestly, I think the media will spin this book to make the Dems and Kerry look bad.
That's my two cents, anyway.

[Waverley_Hills_Hiker]

15. yeah....its kind of quiet on this....

...i post at a board that has alot of freepers on it and they are not saying too much....

So, waiting for the talking points?

I know they are going to hit back, but how?

[salinen]

13. Oh sure

the media will jump all over this. WTF is everyone thinking? Like saying FAUX will investigate dirt on Murdoch. Hit yourselves very hard on the head.

[trumad]

17. Nope//this is different.....

It's Kitty Kelly....

[newsguyatl]

18. it won't get ANY play. watch.

[Waverley_Hills_Hiker]

20. media blackout? Could be.

I wouldnt be suprised.

[Dr Fate]

22. DEMS need to say: "These allegations are like the Swift-boat smears..."

"...they are probably not true, but we need the media to spend a week or so investigating them so we know for sure. It worked for the SBV charges-our good media cleared Kerry's name- so it's only fair to Bush that the media gets tot the bottom of this accusation as well."

[Waverley_Hills_Hiker]

23. Excellent.....but lets hope Kelly isnt contributing to the Dems.....

That would not be good news.

You know the dirt diggers are hard work as we type!

Another angle would be to have no comment, and tell the media that since the book is about Bush take it up with him....

[Cha]

21. Ya can't be too cynical, eh?

It's impossible to keep up!

[2bfree]

24. We should all buy it.

I know I intend to help the sales by buying a copy.
