Uh oh. Now Laura has to break out the crayons.
Well I must confess the story of a regular guy becoming president of harvard law review and then a succesful community organizer while dealing with the absence of his kenyan father and growing up interracial in hawaii is clearly less compelling than a blue blood getting the keys to the family business and screwing up royally like he’s screwed everything else in his life.
Three words: scratch and sniff.
There is no cure for BDS, I guess.
Obama didn’t even write his own autobiography. He’s a terrible writer. Bill Ayres wrote it.
And “successful” community organizer???
Don’t add to the talking points, Oliver. There’s not a shred of evidence that the Chicago precincts in which Obama worked improved at all. All evidence is to the contrary.
Hate Bush until your hateful little hearts pop from venom overload. Knock yourself out. At least Bush knows who he is and what he stands for without uhm… uh… uhmm…. uh… one of his uh… uh… uh… staff entering it onto a …. uh…. uh… teleprompter.
I find myself not much looking forward to it. Won’t be much fun once the ghost writer scrubs it clean.
Obama didn’t even write his own autobiography. He’s a terrible writer. Bill Ayres wrote it.
People wonder why I have such a loosey-goosey policy to the conservative wingnuts who comment here, this is why. In my ongoing battle to ridicule the right, the best ally I have is… the right.

Time to close down the site Oliver. We’ve reached the pinnacle.
“Bill Ayres wrote it.”
Actually, Bill Ayres was too busy performing forced abortions on Christian babies in San Francisco.
Didn’t you get the memo from Rush?
So according to liberal “logic”, better a two-term former U.S. President stay locked up, retired in his basement in Crawford rather then go on the lecture circuit where he has the potential to make millions like say….I dunno, another two-term, impeached, former President has and continues to do.
Yeah, that makes sense. BDS, there’s no end in sight.
MrGreyGhost, he was the least popular president since Hoover. Are you really comparing George Bush going on a speaking tour to Bill Clinton heading up some of the most successful charities of the new century? Bill Clinton, one of our most popular presidents since FDR. What we’re criticizing is that the man is incredibly unpopular and has left America much worse off than when he started the presidency 9 years ago.
Here’s a radical thought: if you don’t want to read Bush’s book, then don’t buy it. Those who do, will.
It’s called “free choice.” I understand that on the left, “free choice” is considered a BAD thing apart from matters related to sex, but it’s still there.
J.
Free choice dictates Bush can write whatever kind of book he wants. Free choice also dictates that those who decide to purchase said piece of junk deserve to be mocked and ridiculed.
Free Choice!

What the fuck is wrong with you?
Seriously?
We are making fun of people who would buy Bush’s book. We hare not saying he shouldn’t have the choice to write it or you shouldn’t have the choice to buy it.
Either you are fucking lying.
Or you are fucking stupid.
Which is it?
I would be interested to see how many handlers it will take for George to “write” a book. Obama can write, and has done so, not only books but legal opinions. George has not given any indication that he knows the difference between a verb and a vowel. The only book he is KNOWN to have read is “The Pet Goat.”
Those who do, will.
Precisely, and we can judge people based on their taste in books, just like we judge them based on their voting patterns and moral judgment.
There’s a reason you want to read someone’s memoirs– because there’s the potential that they’ll say something interesting. It’s why people bought Gov. McGreevey’s book. It’s why people bought the Clintons’ memoirs. But Bush? Just a banal item used as a totem by the Bush worshippers.
Also, Oliver, I do think you have too many right-wing trolls in the comments section, but ultimately I have to agree with your policies: when guys like Dwight appear, you realize that it’s all worth it for those moments.
matt621: Yes, what could he possibly be thinking…
Far better to write your memoirs before you’ve actually done anything. Then you could even con the book buying public into buying TWO completely void autobiographies.
Translation: I can’t really rebut any you make so, uh, Hey! Look over there!
Dwight: Don’t add to the talking points, Oliver.
He said, flinging his own poo-laden talking points around his cage.
Dwight: At least Bush knows who he is and what he stands for
Really? OK, who is he? And just what, exactly, does he stand for?
MrGreyGhost: So according to liberal “logic”, better a two-term former U.S. President stay locked up, retired in his basement in Crawford rather then go on the lecture circuit where he has the potential to make millions
Who said that? Who said anything like that? Gods, I look forward to the day someone on the right is able to respond with anything other than a straw man. You’re the only one sho says this. Don’t you get tired of arguing against yourself?
Jay Tea: Here’s a radical thought: if you don’t want to read Bush’s book, then don’t buy it. Those who do, will.
Who said they were going to buy it? Here’s a radical thought: Stop ranting against things nobody has said.
CSS: Either you are fucking lying.
Or you are fucking stupid.
He’s fucking desperate. He’s got nothin’ and he’ll do just about anything to avoid having to recognize that. So he makes shit up.
Tyro: Also, Oliver, I do think you have too many right-wing trolls in the comments section, but ultimately I have to agree with your policies: when guys like Dwight appear, you realize that it’s all worth it for those moments.
I just wish we had more right wing who weren’t trolls. Seriously, it’s fish in a barrel sometimes. And I really wish there was someone here who could argue well for the right. Personally, I like having to thoughtfully defend my views against someone thoughtfully promoting theirs.
Two questions.
1) Will it be placed in the Fiction aisle?
2) Will it be a pop-up?
There is no cure for BDS, I guess.
Obama didn
OK, OW. I’m logged in. I still got the dreaded dropoff at the apostrophe. See above.
So according to liberal “logic”, better a two-term former U.S. President stay locked up,
for war crimes and torture.
Yeah, works for me.
Vista Pro, IE7.
The only book he is KNOWN to have read is “The Pet Goat.”
C’mon, Repack. Now that’s not fair!
It’s “MY Pet Goat”
Vista Pro, IE7.
Well, THERE’S your problem.
At least Bush knows who he is and what he stands for without uhm
At least Bush knows who he is and what he stands for
That’s right! He stands for peeance freeance!
Well, THERE’S your problem.
Haw!
That’s not fair, Oliver. I would LOVE to see how Bush deludes himself into thinking he helped the country. He’ll probably write about how he personally hunted down Sadam, killed him with his own two hands, and found WMDs. Because that’s just the kind of guy he thinks he is.
