Jeb Bush buys 40 of his brother's books but doesn't read them?
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush tells CNN, in an interview taped earlier this month, that he hasn’t read brother George W. Bush’s book, “Decision Points.”

“Well, I’ve bought 40 books, though, and I think that’s far more important,” Jeb Bush told Candy Crowley in an interview that aired this morning on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“It’s far more important to buy the book than to actually read it,” Jeb Bush added in a joking tone

2. His brother didn't write it so why bother reading it. Plus Babs is pissed because of the fetus in a

jar lie.

3. Creating the appearance of a bestseller is more imporant to these people
than actually having a real bestseller.

7. Hey, they might be a great investment when the world courts use the book
as proof positive that Bush trashed all the conventional intelligence gathering and installed his own group of experts to reach the conclusions he wanted to reach in the first place.

8. Maybe he's building a cesspool
and needs some pure crap to test it.

9. Great example you set there, Jebster!
Books are for buying, not reading.

And the Jebster is billed as the "smart" one. :dunce:
