Do you plan on reading Scotty's book?
I'm curious... I think he's giving his unvarnished observations and opinions of Chimp and his minions, and the inner workings of the WH. It's probably chock full of goodies. I hate to spend $ though, and pad Scotty's pocket. Perhaps I'll wait for the local library to get it.

Anybody planning on reading the book?

1. Nah - somebody will post all the good parts
The rest of it I could not give a shit about.

2. No, it will piss me off that congress isn't impeaching and imprisoning these
assholes.. especially, when one of their own has turned on them for the all mighty dollar.

5. call me naive but....
I don't think Scotty did it for the money... and this book could have been published anytime after Chimpy's reign was over. I think Scotty was truly pissed and wanted to inflict max "F-YOU" to the people he feels slighted by. My opinion.

7. I was listening to the pundits talk about this yesterday.
They were all talking about BushCo in the past tense, as if they are already gone or impeached. It's maddening. None of them took the logical next step and asked, "why are these criminals still in power?"

3. I'll peruse it over a latte at B&Noble.....
If I can't put it down, I may buy it... But, I suspect that the reporting on it will reveal all the "good" parts and fellow DUers will likely provide the rest... My $$ can then go to those poor starving Exon Mobile execs...:eyes:

4. I may read it at some point in the future
I sure don't plan on running out and buying it though. I'll either get it from the library or pick it up for a quarter at a garage sale.

6. Already did, years ago

What? You meant some other Scotty?

Never mind. Read this one. It'll be WAY more realistic and accurate.

10. Yes, if my library gets it in. There have been so many good books in the last
several years, I'm running out of $$ & space! I've stopped BUYING books...at least for a while! New library just opened about 3 miles from me, so I'll let THEM spend their money (indirectly mine) and store them too.

11. No, it would only serve to support what most of us already know.
Edited on Wed May-28-08 11:42 AM by Mountainman
I think most everyone in the press knew the truth back then too. His book will give them cover by saying that they were pressured into supporting bushco.

12. I get the drift... don't want to waste my money
Edited on Wed May-28-08 11:45 AM by ailsagirl
Just read an article that said the WH is "puzzled" by McClellan's
"bashing" of Bush.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/05/28/mcclellan.book/index.html

Why is it "bashing" when McClellan is telling the truth???

:shrug:
