Ack!Barf! Ken Blackwell wrote a book--1/5 stars at Amazon.com
Edited on Thu Jun-01-06 09:18 PM by eppur_se_muova
Professional election fraudster Blackwell, Ohio's POS SOS, thought people might actually want to read something with his name on it. Judging by the reviews so far, he was wrong..

The Story of the Judas Goat, May 17, 2006
Reviewer: PAUL A. Thompson "Expert witness" (Belleville, IL USA) - See all my reviews

Once upon a time, there was a Judas goat. His mission was to lead the other goats and sheep into the slaughterhouse....But I digress.

Ken Blackwell's new book is a reminder of the real meaning of compassionate conservatism. It is neither compassionate nor conservative. Rather, it is an attempt to impose a theocratic dictatorship on America. That's Mr. Blackwell. He can't run an election in Cuyahoga County, and now he wants to run the entire state! Wow.

Bilge, May 17, 2006
Reviewer: Victoria Swan "Vic" (Riverton, WY) - See all my reviews
The man writes in such an eloquent way that the welfare system needs a progressive makeover by "allowing" corporations to adopt an undesigned future system of providing to the community. He neglects to mention how the Ohio Mental Health System will be gutted, immediately upon entering office, to the point of ineffectiveness which will then allow the State the right to shut it down completely. Those who need the services the most will not receive much needed rehabilitation. The type of rehabilitation a corporate trainer or consultant will not be able to provide. A recipe for disaster. I'm sure the man who is the head of the Ohio GOP, the Sec. of State, Gubernatorial candidate, and Supervisor of Ohio Elections (conflict of interest?) felt pressed to get a book out during his campaign because his consultant told him to.

Highly anticipated, May 17, 2006
Reviewer: R. Underhill "RobNYC" (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews

When I heard J. Kenneth Blackwell would be writing a book I was most excited. As a family values conservative I was also pleased to hear Jerome Corsi would also be working with him after his most accurate statements about John Kerry while blogging on a conservative website.

Unfortunately, upon receiving my advanced copy I was unable to actually read this masterpiece as it wasn't printed on the right weight of paper.

"right weight of paper" -- remember that from the "election"?

3. Jeez, I completely missed that line. I was scratching my bald head
until you refreshed my slightly demented old cerebrum:

"right weight of paper" -- remember that from the "election"?

6. Oh, yeah.
Mr. Corsi is the author of several books, including "Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry" (along with John O'Neill), "Black Gold Stranglehold: The Myth of Scarcity and the Politics of Oil" (along with Craig R. Smith), and "Atomic Iran: How the Terrorist Regime Bought the Bomb and American Politicians." He is a frequent guest on the G. Gordon Liddy radio show. He will soon co-author a new book with Jim Gilchrist on the Minuteman Project.
