3. Such a joke. Anyone here who thinks GWB really reads, raise your hand!

4. look at that one book under asshole's list

<The Dream and the Nightmare: The Sixties' Legacy to the Underclass by Myron Magnet (Encounter), which argues that the honorable intentions of 1960s liberals produced tragic consequences by ultimately creating today's underclass. >

5. For Dean I would also add

The Best Democracy Money Can Buy ( Greg Palast ). I was at a meeting, in London, England!, where the good Doctor spoke. He recommended that we all read the book. He mentioned the voter role purges in Flordia. He was ( rightly ) convinced that the Republican stole the 2000 election.

6. "Sometimes a Great Notion" ....have you read that?

I have not, but I looked it up on google. It sounds interesting.
Was it this week you saw Dean? I heard it was great. He really gave it to Bush.

I hate to say it, but I wonder if there is a connection between his attacks on Bush on the BBC and in the Financial Times......and the VT National Guard put on alert a few hours later. All 1200 or 1500 of them. Nah, that would never happen.

7. This is very revealing!

Let's take it as a given that each one of these guys chose carefully in light of the election (they were still running when their campaigns disclosed this information).

Now--which candidates were more opportunistic in their choices relative to their respective campaigns? Which actually put some on there that had little to do with their campaigns?

Fascinating (and also VERY funny)!

P.S. Dean has some very good taste in literary fiction. And it's interesting that he chose *Sometimes a Great Notion* rather than Kesey's more popular book, *One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest*.

(Speaking of which, it's raining like crazy here and has been for a week...almost feels like the Northwest...)

8. I thought it interesting.

As you say, even if calculated, the responses were so interesting.

Priorities showed.
