What happened to Karen Hughs book?
I just saw the NYT best sellers list on C-Span.

John Deans book and Bob Woodwards book are still in the top 10, but Karens book, although it's a more recent release I think, just isn't there!

Goodness, could it be that the majority of people just don't care about Karen and Shrub?


HA HA I just love it! WH is trying all the tricks, and they aren't working!!!!

2. Didn't Barbara Bush write a book recently
that also disappeared shortly after it was released?

10. it got panned

as a bunch of sycophantic boosterism, Conintern line, and plain drivel.

The reason the moron brigade isn't snapping it up is that it doesn't give them any help in reaching rationalizations about the massive screwup that Iraq- and everything else- is proving to be.

16. She's a useless liar. Even Tucker Carlson said so. Looks like
more people knew that than I thought.

Thanks for posting this. I'm glad that book bombed.

18. Streep used her and Noonan as role models for Manchurian
Candidate. Just read that at another site and found it intriguing. (Streep plays Mrs. Iselin, the role originated by Angela Lansbury.)

It was another lie.
