The reviews on Amazon's #1 bestseller are coming in!


"It was as certain as heat in a Texas summer that Bush's chokehold on those who know the ugly truth about his administration would not last forever. We are finally realizing as a nation how badly Bush's criminally incompetent, arrogant, dishonest presidency has come to destroying our prosperity and our very way of life. The fact that gas will surely hit $6 - $8 in the near future is only the tip of the iceburg. The price crunch was inevitable, but predictable, and Bush wasted 7 1/2 years on policies based on the assumption that oil would forever be cheap and plentiful. We've only begun to experience the consequences of this single major blunder. The biggest Bush legacies will be a trillion-dollar pointless and endless "war," and the crippling effects that two terms without a realistic energy policy has only begun to bring...."

"...No, it wasn't WMD's. Bush was influenced by his war cabinet to invade Iraq to seize a valuable piece of real estate. This power grab was going to change the balance of power in the Middle East and change history, but Bush forgot to read the history books. They demonstrate how many times we failed to democratize a country in our many attempts starting with the Philipines in 1898. After the Cold War, many democratized of their own accord, but war is not a thing to initiate on a hunch. They democratized themselves when they were ready."

"The only thing less surprising than Scott McClellan's tale of Bush hubris and deception is the plethora of reviews by people who haven't read the book, and the division between one star and five star ratings. Those ratings reflect the percent of Americans who regard Bush as a simpleton puppet run by Cheney and Rove versus the smaller percent who think Bush is saving us from Muslim terrorists who are hiding behind the trees in our backyards."

"Paul O'Neil - high-level (Secretary of the Treasury) republican Bush appointed insider - Lieya!

Richard Clarke - high-level republican Bush appointed insider - Lieya!

Scotty McClellan - high-level republican Bush appointed insider - Lieya!

Up = Down
Black = White
Right = Left
Truth = Lies
Lies = Truth

... and it's always "Bill Clinton's fault" or the "liberal mainstream media's fault" on conservative - nation building, tax cut for the rich and deficit spend, let televangelists set social policy - idiot bizarro-world."

3. Maybe the best (worst) is yet to come
Think of his skills. The ones that got him the job. Maybe the book just sets the stage and draws the spotlight.

Tonight will tell. Obviously he will talk about the book. If he is skilled in structuring and presenting for max effect then I think we will see a blockbuster tonight. The stage is set. If we see a big one tonight it will probably not be the last. Where better to deliver than KO?

They know what to fear. Rapid, rehearsed, well orchestrated response will tell that they knew the worst and were getting ready for it. Might it also validate that what they fear most is true?

I'll be watching for sure, then see how fast and well organized the response comes from F-spews.
