1. Hahaha. I live about 20 minutes from there.

I didn't know Jenna was an author. Is the book a work of fiction or non-fiction?

[PVnRT]

2. Jenna Bush? In Beaver Creek?

ummmmmmmmmmmm

[Droopy]

3. There is also a Beaverdam, Ohio

4. I'm sure that a lot of copies will be snatched up

[Dukkha]

5. no posed photos?

so I guess this won't get signed

I have friends who live in Beavercreek. I've been there a few times. a typical USAF town. totally void of any cultural life.

6. I'll pass, thanks

Normally, bookstores are my favorite haunts, but this doesn't sound like a ton of fun.

Sheesh. Leave it to the Bushes to make getting a book a chore.

7. No need for those line numbers. I'd be shocked if

5 legit book buyers showed up, though I'd expect plenty of protestors booing her father's sorry ass.

8. I find it odd that you can get THREE copies signed per person

I mean geez, if there was an overload of people usually you can get just one

[LibDemAlways]

11. When Hillary's autobiography came out I stood in line

for five hours and didn't make the cut. They only allowed the first 300 people in (though it looked pretty good at first, there were no line numbers and a lot of people were letting their friends in), and she'd only sign 1 book apiece. Several hundred were turned away. I can't imagine a Bush, any Bush, attracting a similar crowd. Most Bush supporters confine their reading to comic books, anyway, so I doubt if there's much of a market for Jenna's ghostwritten downer.

9. Hope it turns out better than the Rick Santorum book-signing we had in Delaware...

ACLU Files Suit on Behalf of Women Arrested at Sen. Santorum Book Signing Event
For immediate release

May 30, 2006

Wilmington, DE - The Delaware and Pennsylvania affiliates of the American Civil Liberties Union jointly filed a lawsuit today on behalf of two women who were arrested and three others who were threatened with arrest at a book signing event for Rick Santorum at a Wilmington-area Barnes & Noble solely because of their political views. The event had been advertised as a signing for Santorum's book, It Takes a Family, and a "discussion" with the senator.


On the evening of August 10, 2005, Stacey Galperin, 18, of Wilmington, DE; Miriam Rocek, 20, of Newark, DE; Hannah Schaffer, of Glen Mills, PA; and M.D., of Boothwyn, PA; attended the book signing with the intent of respectfully questioning and challenging the senator on his views during the "discussion" portion of the evening. According to the suit, a member of Sen. Santorum's promotional team overheard the young women talking among themselves and instructed a uniformed state trooper to remove the women. The officer threatened the women with arrest if they did not leave immediately. At that time Shaffer and Devonshire left the building. When Galperin and Rocek asked the reason for their ejection, they were arrested. When Heidi Shaffer, Hannah's mother, came to pick up her daughter, DiJiacomo threatened Mrs. Shaffer with arrest for contributing to the delinquency of minors.


"These women were there to take part in the event. The advertisements said 'book signing and discussion,' not 'discussion only if you agree with the senator,'" said ACLU of Delaware staff attorney Julia Graff, one of the attorneys handling the case. "The trooper denied these women their right to share their views with an elected official. This is precisely the kind of conduct the First Amendment was designed to guard against."


The suit is against the Delaware state trooper, Sergeant Mark DiJiacomo, who was contracted to provide security by the organizers of the event, and Jane Doe, who is believed to be a member of Senator Santorum's promotional team. Neither the trooper nor Jane Doe was an employee of the Barnes & Noble. At no time did Barnes & Noble request that the women leave, nor did they instruct Sgt. DiJiacomo to eject the women

16. The suit was settled, btw

DOVER, Del. - The American Civil Liberties Union has settled a federal lawsuit stemming from an incident during which a Delaware state trooper ejected protesters from a book signing event with former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum.

Under the settlement, the Delaware State Police will adopt a policy and training program for its officers on the free speech rights of protesters and pay $15,000 for the plaintiffs' legal fees, the ACLU said Wednesday.

In addition, state police Sgt. Mark DiJiacomo will write a letter to the plaintiffs. Former Santorum aides Ellen Melrose and Becky Barrett-Toomey also will send the plaintiffs a letter of regret and pay them $2,500, the amount they were paid by Santorum's campaign to assist him on a book tour in Pennsylvania and Delaware.

The plaintiffs intend to donate their damage awards to charity, the ACLU said.

12. The book

Ana's Story
Ana's life is a collection of bits and pieces of her past. Infected with HIV at birth, she's unaware of many details of her early childhood and barely remembers her mother. Living with her strict grandmother, she learns how to keep secrets – secrets about her infection and about the abuse she endures at home. But after Ana falls in love and becomes pregnant at seventeen, she begins a journey of hope – a journey of protecting herself and others. She is living with HIV, not dying from it.
Jenna Bush tells of Ana's struggle to break free from the cycle of abuse, silence, and illness with passion and eloquence. But this is not just Ana's story. It is also the story of many children around the world who are marginalized, neglected, and mistreated.

Jenna Bush
Jenna Bush is the daughter of President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush. She graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2004 with a degree in English. Jenna was an elementary school teacher in Washington, D.C., for a year and a half before embarking on an internship for UNICEF in Latin America and the Caribbean.

(The book is aimed at teens, evidently. At least, to her credit, Jenna didn't have them put HER face on the cover.)

13. A Bush committing and act of compassion?

Oh yeah, there must be some money in it for her

[LynneSin]

14. Perhaps the person who wrote the book hopes that Jenna's name

will help sell a few copies.

[MrScorpio]

15. Gotta keep that army of Bush ghostwriters knee deep in caviar and champagne

There always is hitch where the the Bushes are involved
