Yes, I'm shocked! :spray:

1. Well, he can't write it until he gets his crayon sharpened, anyway...
B-)

10. K&R #6 as a cushion. There appears to be more than just one who does it. n/t

14. Way more. You've noticed very few vicious attacks since early yesterday.
Rather than verbalize their hostility, they're just unreccing like crazy. I watched one of Babylonsister's go from +8 to <0 in a matter of seconds. The "verbalizing" should start again maybe tomorrow. Hang on.

3. Do the publishers REALLY think there will be a big market...
for another ghost-written GWB* memoir? (Is Karen Hughes writing this propaganda tome as well?)

4. So now "W" will try to take a page from Bob Uecker and become a self deprecating
comedian? Sorry Booshy, I'll be sick of your act forever.

5. Hiring a Ghost Writer and writing a book are not the same thing - someone explain it to him.

6. Do you all remember when a reporter asked Bush what books he was
going to read on his vacation and he said something like, "I'm gonna read me a couple a' Shakespeares..." ?

Dubya was always a dim bulb.

7. That would be sarcasm.
Akin to if Obama said "This is going to come as quite a shock to people, but I can legally occupy the White House...not just clean it."

Some people may believe that Obama isn't capable of being the POTUS because he's a "subhuman black man" (which is obviously not true).

Some people may have believed that Bush wasn't capable of being the POTUS because he couldn't write (or read) a book (which is apparently also not true).


Pick your attacks. This attack is silly.

9. I wonder how many pages were lost to him forgetting
to speak into the mic while without pushing the record button. Dude anyone can ramble into a recording machine and have some ghost writer clean up the notes.

11. I guess we'll know that he wrote it himself if ...
... half the words are made up, and the grammar is all wrong; otherwise, we'll know it was ghost written.

Who does he think he's fooling?
