That looks like the famous shot when he received news of 9/11. Its the same dumb look too!

Pretending is more like it.

Bush claims to have read nearly 60 books last year.  That’s better than a novel a week (assuming they weren’t the Classic Comics abbreviated versions).  That’s more than I manage even though I never let a meal, commercial, bedtime, bathroom visit, traffic jam or airport line pass without opening a book.  And, I’m not running two wars while attending daily photo ops and fund raisers. 

I will not call him an outright liar (at least not on this one particular subject), but he’s once again sorely tried credibility.  I realize he believes the the American public is infinitely gullible, but I would sooner believe he actually found the WMDs before picturing him consuming the time for a book a week on top of all the critical briefing papers and periodicals?

Come to think of it though that (plus his lengthy vacations, extensive physical exercise sessions and early bedtimes) may help explain why he’s messed up so much he touches.  If he’s actually spending all the time necessary to consume that many books for pleasure, he obviously has little left for perils.

My theory is that GWB came across Camus’ famous quote “Stupidity has a knack of getting its way” and said to himself “Hey, this guy gets me! Maybe I should read some more of his stuff!”

W could claim Camus was a Republican because “The Stranger” shows that godlessness leads to crime and the need for capital punishment.  W could also cite the author as a forebear of “stay the course” in Iraq because Camus favored French rule in Algeria and labeled insurgents Arab imperialists.  True or false?

Of course, W would never be expected to read or have any opinion on such works as Rick’s “Fiasco,” Shadid’s “Night Draws Near,” or any remotely independent source on world affairs.  “Heck, why read about Iraq when any time I want I can pick up my phone and talk to its president.  What’s that fellows name?  Dick, remind me.”

About the uselessness of speedreading, here’s a quote from someone(?) quite a while ago:

“I speed-read ‘War and Peace’. It’s about Russia.”

Even JFK who was a real speed reader never read that many books in such a short time! It’s possible that Bush could have read the list of titles during that period of time, but even that’s as doubtful as all the other orchestrated propaganda emanating from the House of Shame (formerly known as the White House). Is our administration learning?

i think it makes perfect sense that he’d find intellectual respite in ‘the stranger’. there isn’t another book out there, besides the bible, that so perfectly illustrates senseless, thoughtless, reflexive action. it could be that not even george knows why he invaded iraq. he just did, when the sun was glinting off the muzzle of his pistol. now, let’s send him to jail.

Yes I believe that Bush might have glanced over the titles of sixty books on a list prepared to him by his propaganda-making machine. However, the real question is, “How many of these titles he glanced over can he really recall?” I bet if he’s really questioned on this he would say, “I did read the Bible, and that’s why God keeps talking to me!”
I am saddened to say that a nation that sends this type of a mental case to office twice deserves all the evil befalling it.

I have to wonder about that photograph. I might make the assumption that before the photo was taken, the president was holding the book out to the kids to show them what the other student was reading, then simploy flipped it up to relieve the pressure on his wrists. - For something more toward my sense of humor, go to the URL I added. I love Photoshop!

somebody gotta be kidding, bush is a hammerhead. he thinks camus is a cross between a camel and a cow.

Maybe he’s a graduate of Cheech & Chong’s ever popular “Evelyn Wood-head’s Sped Reeding Course.”
