Is bushie thinking about writing a book? Bwahahahahahaha
ELECTION NOTES: A book for Bush?

The Associated Press


Last Updated: July 9, 2004, 04:41:01 PM PDT


KUTZTOWN, Pa. (AP) - Now that Bill Clinton's memoir is a best seller, is President Bush thinking about writing a book?

The question stopped Bush for a moment Friday at a campaign appearance on a Pennsylvania bus tour, and then prompted a wandering discussion about how he met his wife and other subjects.

"First of all, I don't know," the president replied about writing a book. "I'm just speculating now. I really haven't thought about writing a book. My life is too complicated right now trying to do my job."

But he went on to talk about a Western painting on the wall of the Oval Office that shows a horseman charging up a steep cliff, followed by other horsemen.

And talking about the painting, called "A Charge to Keep" by W.H.S. Koerner, prompted Bush to talk more.

16. Wow. That was kinda funny. But it is creepy.
I like the title of that painting. There is a bit of symbolism I noted. The muslim crescent in the horizon...

3. Bush is publishing a book of quotes.
and plans a lecture circuit describing how our government works. Here are a few examples.

“I am mindful of the difference between the executive branch and the legislative branch. I assured all four of these leaders that I know the difference, and that difference is they pass the laws and I execute them.”
George W. Bush, Dec 18, 2000


“The legislature’s job is to write law. It’s the executive branch’s job to interpret law.” George W. Bush, Austin, Texas, Nove 22,2000


“They want the federal government controlling social security like it’s some kind of federal program.” George W. Bush, St Charles, MO, Nove 2, 2000


“I understand small business growth. I was one.” George W. Bush, NY Daily
News, Feb 19, 2000


“Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?” George W. Bush,
Florence, SC, Jan 11, 2000


“We’re concerned about AIDS inside our White House - make no mistake about it.” George W. Bush, Feb 7, 2001


“I hope the ambitious realize that they are more likely to succeed with success as opposed to failure.” George W. Bush, Jan 18, 2001

25. There is not enough room here for all of them.
I just posted a few choice ones. Some more.......


"SHE'S JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE ANTHONY GETS A GOOD MEAL - ANTONIO." -GEORGE W. BUSH, ON LAURA BUSH INVITING JUSTICE ANTONIN SCALIA TO DINNER AT THE WHITE HOUSE, JAN. 2001

WE MUST ALL HEAR THE UNIVERSAL CALL TO LIKE YOUR NEIGHBOR JUST LIKE YOU LIKE TO BE LIKED YOURSELF.

I HAVE A DIFFERENT VISION OF LEADERSHIP. A LEADERSHIP IS SOMEONE WHO BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER.

I MEAN, THERE NEEDS TO BE A WHOLESALE EFFORT AGAINST RACIAL PROFILING, WHICH IS ILLITERATE CHILDREN.

LEADERSHIP TO ME MEANS DUTY, HONOR, COUNTRY. IT MEANS CHARACTER, AND IT MEANS LISTENING FROM TIME TO TIME.

IN MY SENTENCES I GO WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE.

ONE OF THE COMMON DENOMINATORS I HAVE FOUND IS THAT EXPECTATIONS RISE ABOVE THAT WHICH IS EXPECTED.

THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB IS NOT TO BE GOVERNOR, OR FIRST LADY IN MY CASE.

THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE ENOUGH PEOPLE IN THE SYSTEM TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE LIKE ME.

WE ARE READY FOR ANY UNFORESEEN EVENT WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN.


I APPRECIATE THAT QUESTION BECAUSE I, IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, HAD HEARD A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT A FAITH-BASED INITIATIVE ERODING THE IMPORTANT BRIDGE BETWEEN CHURCH AND STATE.

FOR EVERY FATAL SHOOTING, THERE WERE ROUGHLY THREE NON-FATAL SHOOTINGS. AND, FOLKS, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE IN AMERICA. IT'S JUST UNACCEPTABLE. AND WE'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

THIS ADMINISTRATION IS DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO END THE STALEMATE IN AN EFFICIENT WAY. WE'RE MAKING THE RIGHT DECISIONS TO BRING THE SOLUTION TO AN END.

ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT BOOKS IS SOMETIMES THERE ARE SOME FANTASTIC PICTURES.

13. Sometimes Bush* should talk less
<snip>
And talking about the painting, called "A Charge to Keep" by W.H.S. Koerner, prompted Bush to talk more.

"It's on loan, by the way, from a guy named Joe O'Neill in Midland, Texas. He was the person, he and his wife Jan, introduced - reintroduced me and Laura in his backyard in July of 1977. Four months later, we were married. So he's got a - I'm a decision-maker and I can make good decisions.

"And so we sang this hymn - this is a long story trying to get to your answer," he said. "This is not a filibuster. That's a Senate term - particularly on good judges. The hymn was sung at my first inaugural church service as governor. Laura and I are Methodists. One of the Wesley boys wrote the hymn. The painting is based upon the hymn called, "A Charge to Keep." I have. The hymn talks about serving something greater than yourself in life. I - which I try to do, as best as I possibly can.

"The book - I guess one way, one thing to think about it is - one of the themes would be, I was given a charge to keep. And I gave it all my heart, all my energy, based upon principles that did not change once I got into the Oval Office. "

<end>

What a moran!

20. A seed has been planted
It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. Dark, swarthy evildoers attacked our great notion. The terrists hated us for our freedom, and our way of life. So I got rid of it.

I said, "Fuck Saddam. We're taking him out." And we did. Meanwhile, the liberals were saying bad things about me. Mean things. The kind of things you wouldn't say to a dog. Fuck liberals. I hate them. They're morans.

22. Karen Hughes ghost-wrote "A Charge To Keep"...not Junior
He probably provided the correct spelling of his name for the dust jacket, but "A Charge To Keep" was 100% Karen Hughes.

Charge of the Light Brigade
Reading the Literary Spoor of the Bush Campaign
Book Review: 12/24/1999

by Louis Dubose

While every candidate has a book out, none has been the focus of as much attention as George W. Bush, who made publishing history as the subject of three biographies released in three consecutive months: Bill Minutaglio's First Son; J.H. Hatfield's Fortunate Son, and finally George W. Bush's A Charge to Keep, an autobiography ghostwritten by Bush press secretary Karen Hughes.

With the December release of the Karen Hughes autobiography To Keep a Charge, Bush again makes history -- as a ghostwriter of the autobiography of his own press secretary. The Bush bio (A Charge to Keep, the two titles can get confusing) was to be written by Mickey Herskowitz -- a veteran Houston sportswriter who has pinch-hit as a ghostwriter on several celebrity bios. Herskowitz signed a $150,000 contract to write the Bush autobiography -- along with a second ghosted autobiography of Bush's press secretary Karen Parfitt Hughes. When Herskowitz missed his deadline, Hughes began writing the Bush book and Bush began writing the Hughes book. (Hughes used her $100,000 advance to buy a new house in the upscale Austin suburb of Westlake; Bush donated his $50,000 to the Texas Library Fund, established by First Lady Laura Bush.)

23. Uh oh... they've gotten into my zone of wierd knowledge
I didn't know Bush had "A Charge to Keep" by W.H.S. Koerner in the oval office, but I'm familiar with the artist, who was arguably the worst of all the old western-theme illustrators.

I was shocked to see prices on his work sky-rocket a year or two ago. Now I know why!

But when I saw the picture itself I really wanted to vomit. The rider looks just like Bush! I mean it REALLY looks like Bush. So much so that I had to wonder if they had had the painting touched up. Probably not, but this is a real insight into his meglomania that he drags around a painting with the same title as his book with a guy in it that looks just like him.
