Bush book reviews on Amazon.
I was kind of bored tonight and decided to browse books at Amazon. Just for the heck of it I looked up Karen Hughe's book about Shrub. The reviews are a riot and someone added a great photoshopped "customer" photo to the Amazon page. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/141430983X/ref=cm_rev_next/002-0974352-0555219?%5Fencoding=UTF8&customer-reviews.sort%5Fby=-SubmissionDate&n=283155&s=books&customer-reviews.start=21

1. Amazon books reviews are very..comical.
Half the people cant or wont read the book and are just putting there personal feelings on it. For something really funny you should see what the freepers listed under Bruce Springsteen devils and dust cd. Man tweleve year olds shouldn't be allowed on the net.

5. Underneath the large photo there are 3 little boxes to click on.
The one on the far right is my favorite.

6. I love this quote from someone who gave the book 5 stars.
Edited on Sat Jan-21-06 09:37 PM by jhuth
"He commands the loyalty and love of his troops, and those who understand who he is, and why he was chosen by God to lead us now."

In a discussion with rightie co-worker a similar argument was given as a description of why Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda are so dangerous.

That is precisely why I am so disturbed by some on the right. They are undoubtedly blinded by religious ideology.

8. ...
Edited on Sat Jan-21-06 09:59 PM by WritingIsMyReligion
The title is mostly correct, but it should read:

'Portrait' of a 'Leader.'


:rofl:

To (sic) bad almost all the negative reviews on here are from a certain democratic website that posted orders to come over here and write negative comments, even though they did not read the book.

:rofl::rofl:

11. And I'm betting they didn't read it either.
On another note, my college bookstore had this out on the first shelf you see when you walk in.

WTF?

10. Warning; do not read while drinking Coke.
If you must, keep the Windex handy:

This man will go down in history as one of America's greatest leaders. His courage in the face of adversity is a beacon of hope to the oppressed people of the world.
