Good luck with it. :hi:

[wicket]

3. Congratulations Will!!!!

One of these days I'm going to buy you a pint :beer:

[MissB]

4. Most excellent.

I am a bit uncomfy with calling the White House a whorehouse, but it is because I see it as an American institution, not a Republican possession, if that makes any sense.

Looking forward to ordering it!

[silverweb]

5. Nice!

Go, Will! Maybe it will be out in time for Christmas shopping?

[WilliamPitt]

9. Doubtful

Sorry.

[silverweb]

83. 's okay.

Well worth waiting for, whenever it's released. Keep us posted!

Can I get another signed copy to go with my
signed "Sedition?"
Pretty please?
Huh?
Can I?

BHN:loveya:

[Midlodemocrat]

10. I can't buy it off Amazon because

I want an autographed copy.



:hide:

[emlev]

103. I won't buy it on Amazon because

they're largely responsible for putting scores of independent bookstores out of business. If we want books from independent thinkers, we must support independent booksellers.

Congratulations, Will!

[Kadie]

11. Congratulations Will!

I am looking forward to reading it.

:toast:

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

12. between that and randi's book

it's going to be a good 2nd half of the year for books

[knowbody0]

13. WOW !!!

Way kool, Mr.Pitt. Congratulations. I ordered it.

[arcane1]

14. yaaaay!!!

17. As you should be, thanks for all your work and

I look forward to your book hopefully at the time of year when the Democratic Party is in control .

[malmapus]

18. GO Will!!

Awesome, congratulations!!!!!!

[jonnyblitz]

19. "forward by Cindy Sheehan"

:thumbsup:

I like the cover, it fits the title.

[yellerpup]

20. Great news!

I wish you all success and every perk that goes with being a best-selling author. Congratulations! You deserve it. K&R so everyone can catch this wave. :kick:

[JuniperLea]

21. Woot!

And pray tell, how does one get an autographed copy?

[lonestarnot]

22. cool

[redwitch]

23. Dude!

(I just love saying that, it makes my 15 year old crazy)

I absolutely LOVE the title! :hi:

[Howardx]

24. will, i saw you quoted in a book yesterday

"conspiracies and secret societies" by brad and sherry steiger:tinfoilhat:

[WilliamPitt]

26. Wha?

What was the quote??

[Howardx]

32. it was in the chapter on karl rove

"william rivers pitt, writing in truthout perspective, quotes ray mcgovern for twenty seven years a senior cia analyst, who commented on the irony of the bush administration going to war based on claims that the iraqi's possessed weapons of mass destruction, while at the same time betraying a deep cover operative who was running a network of informants providing actual information about wmds"
snip

another paragraph or so more from ray. so i guess it was you being quoted quoting ray mcgovern

pg 406

youre in the index.

[WilliamPitt]

35. Thanks

That's pretty interesting.

[NanceGreggs]

25. CONGRATULATIONS!

:applause: :applause: :applause:

...take care and cover yo' ASS...jus sayin'! CONGRATULATIONS! :hug: :loveya:

[helderheid]

29. You should be. Congratulations! Any change it will come out as an audio

book as well? I do all my "reading" at the gym.

[helderheid]

108. read by you preferably

[LuckyLib]

30. Congratulations. Any time a writer can break through the media

grasp on the American psyche, we have a victory. May your book find its way to every bookstore, doctor's office, and airport kiosk in the country. Americans need to wake up and smell the coffee!

[YankeyMCC]

very nice!

[Autonomy]

31. It strikes me as good timing

for a recent history on Bush to be published, since the conservative movement is, metaphorically speaking, history. It's a good time to frame the inevitable debates on Bush's legacy with a citable work. I am sure I will be using it.

[Catherine Vincent]

33. Good on ya!

Your next book should be "House of Ill Repuke" :evilgrin:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

34. Whoa, Awesome! Congrats Will! Count Me In As One To Pick One Up!

[Generic Other]

36. Great title!!

Can't wait. Want to order autographed copies now!!

[BreweryYardRat]

37. Congrats. I'll definitely take a look.

[mikelewis]

38. Will there be a tour?

Congradulations Will, I look forward to a book signing visit to Cleveland.

[WilliamPitt]

39. I think so.

No details yet.

Thanks.

[unhappycamper]

41. Well, ya better have a pub tour somewhere in the Boston area. n/t

[mopinko]

43. oh, dude, you had better be coming to chicago.

eom

ok, not e
if i did the cover art, i would have been tempted to put a whorehouse red fainting couch and an upright piano on the truman blacony.
but that's me.
congrats, man. keep it up.

[callous taoboy]

52. Come to Austin, Will! The Bitter End Pub beckons!

Any chance you could give us a small sampling of the new book?

[WilliamPitt]

54. Here you go

Acknowledgements

A large number of people played a part in the creation of this book, and I am sure I will miss a few of them.

(snip)

A debt of thanks is owed to the owners, moderators and community members of the web forum DemocraticUnderground.com, which is for all intents and purposes a left-wing online zoo. There is something on that forum for everyone – if you believe, for example, that George W. Bush implemented captured extraterrestrial technology to detonate the World Trade Center by way of FEMA and the North Korean Opium Tong before using remote-control devices to guide a missile into the Pentagon on 9/11, you will find allies in some of the corners of this forum – and in the long run, this is a great thing. Information is the lifeblood of this nation today, now perhaps more than ever, and DemocraticUnderground is a Mississippi River of raw data and opinion. The best part of it, for me, is the feeling you get when reading the posts that you aren’t alone; there are so many people there who agree that something has gone wrong in America, and you can meet them on this forum and be comforted. You won’t agree with all of them – hell, you’ll probably be hard-pressed to agree with a third of them, no matter what part of the jungle you come from – but if you live in a Red State, or are surrounded by friends and family who cannot wrap their minds around what has happened here, this forum is a balm.

[GOPisEvil]

62. He done came to Austin last time out.

I have the drool stains on my couch to prove it.

Will, as always, mi casa es su casa.

Congratulations.

[Midlodemocrat]

67. You HAVE to come to Richmond.

[calimary]

88. Don't forget us out here in L.A.!

Congratulations! How many books is this now?

[Laurab]

40. It's about time!

And congratulations!

I was unfamiliar with your writing until I found DU, and now I know that the book will be excellent.

I too want an autographed copy - how does one go about that?

Anyone ordering from Amazon, remember to click the link on DU first - then DU gets some kind of money for the order. I order from Amazon all the time, and I try my best to remember.....


on edit - added it to my Amazon "Wish List"!

[H2O Man]

42. Looks really good.

I'm looking forward to getting a few copies.

[myrna minx]

44. Whoohoo!

Congratulations. :applause: I'll have to add it to my William Rivers Pitt collection. I even had the owner of my company read War on Iraq --what team Bush...he finally gave it back to me. :-)

[LSK]

45. looking forward to it

55. Just so you know...

The Auld Dubliner is less than a block away from Borders at The Pike in Long Beach, CA... hintity hint hint hint...

Books sales and ales, what could rule better than that?

[Nothing Without Hope]

56. Congratulations, Will !!!!! Foreward by Cindy Sheehan, I note

I'll look forward to hearing more about this book. With so much that has been - and threatens to - happen, I suspect it was difficult to be selective enough in planning what to include.

[Annces]

57. Nice front cover

Good luck!

[gatorboy]

58. Good luck, Will! n/t

[me b zola]

59. Congrats, Will!

If you can tell a book by it's cover, this is a great book. :woohoo:

[Wheezy]

60. Would you be willing to tell us

who your agent is?

I'm just a curious writer...

Thanks.

[WilliamPitt]

63. Don't have one

[Wheezy]

98. Thanks n/t

[Turn CO Blue]

61. I would prefer an autographed copy, please!

Wow! I can't imagine the fortitude it takes to actually finish one and get it published. The rest of us talk about writing and you DO it.

You deserve to pat yourself on the back a little while (and then get to work on the next one!)

[senseandsensibility]

64. Sincere congratulations

Your efforts for peace are greatly appreciated, and will be rewarded, IMHO.:) :toast:

[spuddonna]

93. I have a friend who was a Dem long before I was...

...and I'm always trying to get him over to DU to sign up for his own account.

One day we were talking about good progressive nonfiction, and he asked, "Have you ever heard of someone named William Rivers Pitt?"

It turns out, one of your books is one of my friend's three favorite nonfiction books.
