AUSTIN, Texas - (KRT) - Don't look now but here comes another Bush book.

The promoters of "Thank You, President Bush" say the tome is designed to counter the burgeoning list of books criticizing the Texan in the White House.

"Conservatives are getting ready to fire back at the left's nonstop Bush bash," said Steven Phenix, a spokesman for the publisher, in an e-mail about the book. "This anthology supports the president's economic, domestic and foreign policies."

The book's contributors are a veritable who's who of Bush insiders. Among them: Vice-President Dick Cheney; Florida governor and presidential brother Jeb Bush; anti-tax activists Grover Norquist and Stephen Moore; and U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft.

2. Must be a real short book

"... anthology supports the president's economic, domestic and foreign policies."

18. Ghost written by Alfred E. Newman. n/t

35. I george w. neuman

and I approve this book

[doctorbombeigh]

32. More of a pamphlet, really. n/t

[RoyGBiv]

3. Bwwwwahahahaha!!!!

Oh, puhleaze...

Let's see, Bush's brother, his VP, and his Attorney General are contributers? You mean, the people under attack are the ones saying they're doing a good job? Surprise, surprise.

These people have no shame, nor intellectual integrity.

[calico1]

4. All very credible people.....

I wonder if Mom and Dad contributed too?

:eyes:

[Terran]

7. Kinda like getting your mom and your favorite uncle

to be 'references' on a job resume. They'll say nice things about you, but their very presence is a signal that you're a complete doofus.

:think:

[AussieInCA]

5. does it come with crayons? - NT

[gatlingforme]

10. Yes it comes with crayons and a coloring book LOL

[Bertha Venation]

15. also comes w/ a pocket pack of kleenex for wiping the brown off your nose

honestly, what can be in this book?

[devinsgram]

6. Now that's a fine bunch of contributers

All liars on their own. That book will be fun and easy to poke holes in. Can't wait!

[MadHound]

8. So when will this book hit the bestseller list?

Topping the charts on the FICTION list, because it certainly doesn't deal with facts.

[Maeve]

11. As soon as they can mass-buy it

Look for the dagger when it hits the list!

(note: best-seller lists mark books that have been bought in bulk with a "dagger" or other notation. You will see it on books by Coulter and the like. It means someone is "helping" the author along)

[54anickel]

45. Thanks Maeve! I didn't know about the dagger.

[russian33]

9. Is it a book, or more of a pamphlet, or a flier?

[BJ]

12. In short all the top sycophants.

What a ringing endorcement.

[booksenkatz]

13. I imagine that the promoters of "Thank You, President Bush"

are members of the uppercru$t. The only people who can defend the grinning murderer's economic and domestic policies are the wealthy, and the only people who can defend his foreign policies are those with no family members spilling blood in Iraq.

Such desperate tomes are laughable, if so many trees didn't have to die for them.

[Ganja Ninja]

14. Picture this for the cover.

A shot of the burning WTC towers.

[hatrack]

16. And no words of more than three syl-a-bulls!

This should find a ready-made audience at FR and Lucianne.

[DancingBear]

17. Here are some (advance) jacket blurbs praising the book

"My beautiful mind and I spent minutes enjoying this fine book" - B. Bush

"This is a great fucking book" - D. Cheney

"Loved it! Read it cover to cover while waiting for my (ahem) food order at Dennys" - R. Limbaugh

"Gave this wonderful book to my wife for our anniversary - unfortunately she was in a coma and couldn't read it, so I had her sign her name to something else" - N. Gingrich

"Two to one you'll love this book!" - B. Bennett

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

19. You are bad, sir...

...but much appreciated around these parts! LOL

29. The real blurb on their home page is almost as funny:

"Once again in a moment of direst need, at a mortal fork in America's road, one single individual had come, like Ronald Reagan, to his country's rescue: George W. Bush."
- Dr. Jack Wheeler

It's the publisher's very first book! And waddaya know! The phrase "Thank you, President Bush" might already be copyrighted!


Thank you, President Bush
by Paulo Coelho
March 21, 2003

<snip>
Thank you for having achieved something that very few have so far managed to do in this century: the bringing together of millions of people on all continents to fight for the same idea, even though that idea is opposed to yours.
<snip>

Thank you for ignoring us, for marginalising all those who oppose your decision, because the future of the Earth belongs to the excluded.

Thank you, because, without you, we would not have realised our own ability to mobilise. It may serve no purpose this time, but it will doubtless be useful later on.

Now that there seems no way of silencing the drums of war, I would like to say, as an ancient European king said to an invader: ‘May your morning be a beautiful one, may the sun shine on your soldiers’ armour, for in the afternoon, I will defeat you.’

25. Those poor trees.

They could have died providing lumber for affordable housing, or pencils for inner-city schoolchildren, or even landscape timbers for my garden, but this? First 900 Americans had to die in vain in Iraq; now innocent trees have to die to produce trash without having been something useful first. When I see them at one of the nation's ten million-odd $1 stores this winter, I will weep for them.

"We love what he's done to the country."

"He helped destroy a sovereign nation - in order to save Halliburton."

"God talks to GW and says our economy is doing great!"

"He united people under one banner - you're either with us or against us!"

"He is very articulate when it comes to mispronunciations."

"Our country is safer now that Al-Quada has an entire nation to run rough-shod over (Iraq)."

31. I am sure it will be a best seller after all of the bulk buys are made.

"Warehouses, gentlemen. We need more warehouses to store all of our bulk buys of Republican political books. My kingdom for a warehouse!"

39. here's more "luminaries" contributing to this bold book

luminaries is their word...

http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=109&STORY=/www/story/07-21-2004/0002214467&EDATE=

<snip>

With an introduction written by the President's brother, Governor Jeb Bush, this landmark anthology features contributions from George Shultz, Phyllis Schlafly, James Dobson, Art Laffer, William Bennett, Edwin Meese III, Gov. Mike Huckabee, Stephen Moore, Grover Norquist and many other well-known figures. The book also includes excerpted speeches, as well as insights from several former Administration staffers.

"This is the first time that these luminaries have come together in one book and their consensus is unanimous: America needs to re-elect this President," says co-editor Rod D. Martin, founder and chairman of Vanguard PAC. "From his crucial tax cuts to the War on Terror to his impressive work supporting faith and family, George W. Bush has done an incredible job, but that record has been badly distorted by the legion of Bush-haters. This book sets the record straight."

48. You're all cruel - you don't see the positive side....

My apologies to those who don't recognize the cynicism I carry around with me ever since the 1960 assassinations and war and all their unrighteous scandals since then including their plan to take over our bodies and souls.
