7. Michael Moore is Taking Bush on Too
Michael Moore's New Book, "Dude Where's My Country?" Hits the Streets This Tuesday
October 3, 2003

I have written a new book, and this Tuesday it’s being released. It’s called, “DUDE, WHERE’S MY COUNTRY?” Because its content is likely to upset more than a few people, the publisher has “embargoed” the book until midnight Monday (which means no store or media outlet or anyone has access to a copy of the book until then).

They have taken these measures because I have written a book that seeks not to defeat the Bush people next year, but to have them removed from Washington right now. I know, I’m not asking for much. But I have spent the better part of the past year researching and writing this new book, and when you read it you’ll see why the current criminal investigation of the White House for outing a CIA agent in revenge is, in my opinion, just the tip of the iceberg. I can only hope that my book will make a small contribution toward that day when we’ll see one long perp walk of administration officials in handcuffs being led out of the White House and into a waiting paddy wagon. Like I said, I’m not asking for much.

<snip>

If you get the New York Times, you may have noticed a mysterious ad for the past four days in the Arts section. Each day, the ad simply asks a new, pointed question of Mr. Bush. They are questions from my new book, from a chapter entitled, “Seven Questions for George of Arabia.” We are running one ad each day until the book comes out on Tuesday. In case you’ve missed them, here are the first four:

1. Dear Mr. Bush, is it true that the bin Ladens have had business relations with you and your family off and on for the past 25 years?
2. Dear “Mr. President,” what is the “special relationship” between the Bushes and the Saudi royal family?
3. Dear “Mr. President,” who attacked the United States on September 11th—a guy on dialysis from a cave in Afghanistan, or our friends, the Saudi Arabians?
4. Dear “Mr. President,” why did you allow a private Saudi jet to fly around the U.S. in the days after September 11th and pick up members of the bin Laden family and then fly them out of the country without a proper investigation by the FBI?

In my book, I provide some of the answers and all of the background evidence. It is astounding, and it is criminal. Will there be one Democrat in Congress willing to begin the investigation?

10. But CIA HQ is (ironically) named the bush center for intelligence
I'm sure daddy still has connections from when he ran the joint, so jr ain't in any real danger. Too bad.

16.  he is stupid to begin with and it is in the genes--neither of his parents
Edited on Fri Oct-03-03 04:02 PM by Marianne
are particularly gifted in the intelligence quotient. The only reason he picked a fight was because he really believes in his real stupidity, ie: that no one, that is no one, can touch him or his daddy or his mommy, or anyone with the Bush name--like his equally stupid brother, Jeb. Once he establishes that he will PUNISH anyone who even thinks of doing so he thinks it will bring him the respect he, in his stupidity, thinks he deserves.
Is this comical or what? Not many people respect this dumbass president and he knows it.
