Poll question: Did you break down and order McClellan's book, What Happened?

[az chela]

1. I got 2 copies from Amazon

The book is going to b released this weekend so I should have it by the end of next week

[Faygo Kid]

2. Not yet, but I will. You bet, ya sure.

Can't wait.

[SharonRB]

3. I haven't ordered it,

but I have a couple of Borders gift cards and was thinking about picking it up using those. At least I won't be spending my own money!

[eleny]

4. I did

I was just listening to Randi and she was talking about how she was waiting for it. I'm on the list at the library but am so way down the list. So I broke down and ordered it.

:blush: :blush: :blush:

9. I am 13th on my library's list (but there are several copies available).

So I may get it pretty soon. The library was kinda surprised that there weren't more people interested...

[eleny]

12. I was #82

[CTyankee]

21. On an interlibrary system? If so, there were probably several copies.

Wow, that was fast. Can't believe that we in CT weren't right on it. Where are you?

[eleny]

24. Jefferson County, Colorado just west of Denver - they ordered 25 copies

90 holds as of right now.

They get all the pol books. I'm always surprised since when I moved here in '76 this area was pretty conservative. Things have changed. :D

[CTyankee]

27. My library is a little town libe next to New Haven, a really liberal city.

That's why I was so surprised that they didn't have a flood of requests.

Are you near Boulder? I realy liked it when I was there a few years ago...

[npincus]

5. I gleefully ordered it- no breaking down was involved (please add this option)

I think Scotty deserves a couple of my hard-earned bucks for putting B*sh's presidency in the history books for eternity as a shit-stain.

Scotty gets kudos from me.

[eleny]

7. I had a problem posting this poll...

...so I'm afraid to maybe screw it up with an edit.

Your glee is noted.

[npincus]

15. on edit: I would like to add a cackle and a couple of hoots

:)

[demo dutch]

6. I'm not forking out ONE penny to make that jerk a rich man!!!

[Bobbieo]

11. My instincts told me told that someone was writing a

'kiss and tell book" So it turned out to be Scotty! Way to go man but I'm not buying the book

[SharonRB]

8. Just called my local Borders

They've released it early, so I'm going to stop on my way home. I usually prefer shopping at Barnes & Noble, but since I have gift cards, I'll use them.

10. Every time I see that title, it always reminds me of this book ---

Elvis, What Happened? (Binding Unknown, 1977)
Author: Dave Hebler, Red West, Sonny West, Steve Dunleavy


-----------
Published shortly before his death in 1977.
Written by members of his inner circle.

[DianaForRussFeingold]

13. "Finally, an insider to the Bush administration grows a conscience. "

If only, more insiders would grow a conscience...

The comments and reviews alone are worth the visit to Amazon.com!

Examples of reviews and comments-
--"While Scott will receive a lot of grief over his revelations, he has provided a much needed inside backdrop to what happened on the inside to the political run-up to war.

What happened? A press and American people asleep at the wheel, unable or unwilling, to deeply question the reality of the nightmare of what they'll be living with for decades to come."

--" haven't read the whole thing yet but as I skim it, it's obvious that what we all suspected was true - bush is a lying scumbag who is responsible for 4,000+ dead americans and countless Iraqis....sad."

--"This bold and daring book will confirm that Bush is one of the worst presidents in U.S. history. If anything it will show the deception and manipulation that the Republican party has tried to perpetuate onto the American people. The Bush Administration makes Watergate look like a tea party. Scott McClellan will be regarded as our modern day's Woodward and Bernstein."

14. Nope. I just walked into the Borders near my house and picked it up.

[eleny]

16. They haven't gotten to our Borders yet. Maybe next week.

[rocktivity]

17. It doesn't sound as though it contains anything that we hadn't already figured out

When he's ready to tell his story UNDER OATH, you can wake me up.

:boring:

[wtmusic]

18. Ex-actly.

Now Scotty wants my money for lying to the nation? :shrug:

[eleny]

26. Did you watch Olbermann's interview?

[cynatnite]

19. I'm buying it n/t

[dkofos]

20. No, He doesn't get any of my money.

[hiaasenrocks]

22. Hell no. I never buy books of that kind.

Any bombshell news is going to come out in the media, via several sources and interviews, etc. Why put money in someone's pocket for news that I'm going to get for free anyway?

That's not to say I don't read non-fiction. I do. But about 98% of my book money is reserved for fiction. I'll only buy a non-fiction book if it's something I really want to read and won't hear about elsewhere. Plus, fiction is better anyway. :)

[Generator]

23. Why would any serious Du'er do that when

they knew all this stuff before Scotty did? It's damn ho hum time around here. When a former member of the Bushies FINALLY reveals the planet Cheney is from, them I'm in.

[eleny]

25. Something Keith Olbermann said tonight comes to mind

The book is a historical document that will be used in history classes in the future.

[CTyankee]

28. You are right, of course, but I still think it will be fun to read how he "saw the light."

The workings of the brains of people like him fascinate me...
