Imagine If We Had A President Who Not Only Read Books But Could Actually Write One?


James Boyce
04.17.2007


John and Teresa Kerry have written a book on the environment with words and everything. And it's a really good book called "This Moment On Earth" and showcases their passion for the environment and also includes stories from people across the country who are helping save our planet.

It got me thinking.

Do you think George Bush has read any books lately? Do you think he has perhaps started reading newspapers?

...

Anyway, there are two things I really like about "This Moment On Earth." One is that, John Kerry really truly does keep forging ahead unlike any other person I know - he has taken his lumps, but he keeps fighting. Second, is that this is really good book (#1 non fiction and #12 overall right now over at Amazon) and it's by, about, and most importantly for the environment.

I sent him an email about the book and got this back.

"See if you can get some of your friends to buy it, all the money goes to environmental groups."

So that is exactly what I am asking you to do.


You too George.

1. No! We can't have any smart presidents. We want presidents who are
like, you know, regular guys -- guys you'd want to have a beer with.

Also we like cowboys. We like cowboys and want our president to be a cowboy.

Also we like presidents who stammer incoherently in front of microphones. We like dumbass beer-drinking cowboys who lop the 'g's off their verbs and lie their way into war.

Stop trying to push those damn east coast intellectual-types on us.

8. I'd have a beer/smoke a joint with Kerry if I could. And more. I LOVE great men - heh.
Besides, in LA we heard stories from some of his old girlfriends ..... he has great, strong.....hands.

Ever notice Bushboy's teeny-weeny hands?

9. LOL! I have no doubt at all that Kerry's hands are bigger and stronger
than lil' Dubya's.

Kerry's brain and heart are also a lot bigger.

Kerry had old girlfriends in L.A.? I'm impressed.

10. After his divorce. Catherine Oxenberg and Dana Delany.
But, not at the same time.... heheh.

Morgan Fairchild for a time. All these women are actually smart and Fairchild has a great grasp of politics and issues.

13. Now, if I were Kerry, I would've tried to get them together. But then, I am a 'naughty' girl ;)

4. Likely only one or two, but think of the cost in hours teaching him to USE the crayon.

You mean like Gen. Clark or Vaclav Havel? Or Senator Byrd?
Not to limit it to left of center, Scooter Libby has his Japanese plague bear/girl sex novel, and the She Cheney her lesbian western.

Then there was Churchill's entire Whig History of the English Speaking People for center.

15. "Write one" should be "write them."
There is this from a decade ago The New War.

Expanding the title to give props to Teresa Heinz Kerry:

Imagine If We Had A President and First Lady Who Not Only Read Books But Could Actually Write One?
