Raise your hand if you think that H2OMan should write THE Plame Book

[symbolman]

Seriously, for those that follow his writings, or his journal or website, H2OMan has exemplary writing skills. He lays it all out and with historical references that make the Plame case and it's denizens all the more interesting..

I Vote that H2OMan should be the one that WRITES the complete and unabridged Book on the Plame Outing..

We want the GOODS on these guys from someone with his Skills and insight, so let's keep hounding him until he BINDS all this wonderful writing into something we can read in Borders :)

Hell, he's written half of it already!

Anyone else think so? Raise your hand, let's feel the LOVE in this room :)

(H2OMan, this would be a good time to post your latest, and don't forget my 10% cut, just slide it under the door..) Okay, here's his latest on BOLTON at least.. wonderful stuff

[gkhouston]

1. me!

:hi:

[lonestarnot]

2. Write it H2O man! Write it!

[mopinko]

3. me

:hi:

[myrna minx]

4. Me! I would line up around the block for that book.

:hi:

[symbolman]

5. I'd throw everything I have behind it, promote the hell out of it

make banners, whatever.. this needs to be SEEN, not some PRESPIN Crap that they'll be hawking at the Corp Bookstores where they create giant billboards, covering whole shelves, of what's been called "mulch" that ends up in the section of the store in weeks that sells for less than a comic book, and ANN COULTER, YOU know who YOU are :)

I spent a year researching this subject myself and let me tell you, from what I've read of his writings he's been NAILING it every time.

I'll promote it a 100%, and I'm sure that MANY right here on the DU would promote the hell out of it all over the WEB...

If Harris can take all she snagged off the DU and make almost a million, a REAL BOOK by someone who knows what they're talking about would be worth it, strike a BLOW for the Left H2OMan, you got MY vote!

[joanski0]

7. Why don't you be a co-author? n/t

[symbolman]

11. It'd be my pleasure

I did make a film about it, and H2OMan has praised that - and that makes me all the more happy since for HIM to praise it is HIGH PRAISE indeed, especially since I know that HE KNOWS what he's talking about :)

Hell, whatever I've got in the way of research is HIS if he wants it, but he'd doing a great job all by his lonesome.. besides, I don't have the skill he does, or half of the historical perspective he brings to the table..

[DoYouEverWonder]

13. You could do the film version

of the book.

[symbolman]

23. I want to do the play, or maybe the Musical :)

or the Movie of the Week, when ABC produces it starring Mickey MAUS, the Nazi pet from the WHite House :)

Can you imagine the right wing film they'll make? Probably be hysterically funny, like all the films they make about themselves..

[joanski0]

6. My hand is up. Write it!

And I'll line up to buy it.

:bounce:

[zippy890]

8. me too

:hi:

[PRETZEL]

9. As posted in the other thread,

count me in as one who would love to have his work binded and put out for the world to see.

[hwmnbn]

10. I'm the 5th rec.....

so that makes it official....

H2OMan is hereby commissioned to write the definitive volume of the Plame outing.

Here is my hand raised :hi:

[DemoTex]

12. Write it! Then go on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart to sell it.

Picture that. A famous DUer on The Daily Show with a kick-ass book.

[symbolman]

14. AND Colbert

since H2OMan's book would be filled to the brim with "Truthiness", something the right wing can't seem to wrap their minds around..

I KNOW WE could make it a HIT.. think of the DU making one of their OWN a Best Seller, good idea with Stewart, GREAT idea in fact..

Build it H2OMan, and they will COME, lining up already :)

[stop the bleeding]

15. 2 hands raised here - good idea symbolman

now will he?

[symbolman]

17. I just realized how presumptuous

this is.. hell, he's probably a BUSY guy.. then I thought, "HEY, He's Already written TONS of great material.. and doesn't look like it needs any EDITING to me.."

I guess we'll see when he weighs in..

But it would ROCK. I have no doubt of that.. if he needs a cover for it, we can do that too, we got the chops for it. my wife is a Photoshop WIZ

[Kingofalldems]

16. Absolutely

H2O man is the KingofallPlamethreads.

[bear425]

18. *raising both hands*

I'll be first in line to buy it. :)

[in_cog_ni_to]

19. ME and YOU, Symbolman, should do THE Plame movie!

I watched "Rove's War" again Sunday and was PISSED OFF ALL OVER AGAIN......even more than I am on a daily basis, that is ;). It's such a GREAT DVD set. YOU and H2OMan should do a BOOK and DVD combination! :hug:

For those who haven't seen your work: http://www.takebackthemedia.com/ BUY THE DVD SET! It's worth every cent!

[symbolman]

22. Okay, but I get to wear the dress

I've got the long blonde hair and everything :) (Don't tell my wife.. it's been hard hiding the Plame outfit from her..)

You can be Rove.. gonna have to shave everything and remember eyebrows don't grow back sometimes, but that's just the nature of evil incarnate :)

Hey, thanks so much for the shout out on my film, worked hard on that.. but it's hard taking a DVD player and TV into the bathroom, a book is a lot easier :)

[madokie]

20. both hands high in the sky.

but only if he wants to.

[rucky]

21. Just a compilation of his articles would tell the story...

and be an excellent read!

:thumbsup:

[The Doctor.]

24. Yes.

:hi:

[Nickster]

25. Absolutely! n/t

[yellerpup]

26. Go H2OMan

Let's have it! :popcorn:

[WarNoMore]

27. Sounds like a winning idea to me.

[symbolman]

28. Let's keep this KICKED

so H2OMan knows how much he's appreciated!

(I'm going to bed, it's 5am here!)

A KICK for the MAN who Knows his stuff!

[Mr_Spock]

29. I'm in.

That man can really write - one of the best here on DU. I just love how he lays out the arguments in a clear and convincing manner. Write a book!

[ms liberty]

30. yes, Yes, YES!!!

Both hands raised in air, waving vigorously!

He's the master of this subject - probably the ONE and only person, excepting Fitz, who understands the complexities of this case. He's the must-read, can't miss man because he explains it to the rest of us and makes it understandable. And the historical background puts it all in context for us.

H2OMan ROCKS! Incomparable and priceless - a role model, a teacher, a mentor, our Sensai.

symbolman, you're firing on all cylinders on this post! You ROCK too!!!

K&R for the BEST idea I've heard all month!

[symbolman]

31. I think we all recognize a thoroughbred

when we see one.. this horse can RUN, ain't no one can touch him when it comes to this subject and yes, it doesn't hurt that he's a good spiritual person as well, makes it all the more SOLID. Someone GOOD writing about the Bad guys for once :)

[librechik]

32. After Wilson, obviously.

you are the best, H20Man

:loveya:

PS, you too symbolman!

[Lugnut]

33. I do

:hi:

[Finder]

34. Great idea. n/t

[Nothing Without Hope]

35. We are so fortunate that H2O Man posts for us. It would be lovely

if people who are not aware of these posts or his blog (http://h2oman.blogspot.com), where he also posts his uniquely insightful pieces, could read them all in a book. For us, having him synthesize it all in a book format would be a great thing.

His work is not only full of knowledge and insight, but his utter lack of shrillness and the deep, unshakable moral strength he conveys are water in the desert.

[mithnanthy]

36. Hands in the air!

H20Man is the best! Thanks for all the hard work on this subject.

[symbolman]

37. Let's vote this one up if you haven't already

and get it up there on the greatest page where H2OMan can get a good look at it :)

[mmonk]

38. I'd help promote it! Definitely, H20Man should do it.

[kpete]

39. My hands are raised

and I am singing

Hallelujah!

[bbgrunt]

40. I'll buy it and give copies to all 'puke "friends" and relatives

[PurgedVoter]

41. Yes, yes and double yes!

I want this book now!

[Marnieworld]

42. I raise my hand

Hell, it's already written it just needs to be organized.

[w8liftinglady]

43. Absolutely-he is the most articulate being on DU

[NMDemDist2]

44. !

I Do I Do!!!!

[rosesaylavee]

45. Yes - his way of putting the many many

pieces in context help sort it out for me... maybe he already is doing so given his indepth journals on this already?

[me b zola]

46. **raises hand**

I do, I do!!! :hi:

[stepnw1f]

47. Raising Hand (nt)

[Richard Steele]

48. I can't think of anyone better to do that. I kinda assumed he already was.

Just one caveat to my agreement:
I am not willing to "read it in Borders", as you say;
I would, however, pick up a copy at the small,
locally-owned progressive bookstore up the street.

[WiseButAngrySara]

49. Write on H2O Man! Thumbs Up! ...(Practice on my smilies follows:)

I :applause: and :toast: your idea, symbolman, and I'm :bounce:ing with joy! :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:


H2O Man,

:yourock:

Edited for smilies error! :blush:

[ralps]

50. Please write the definitive Plame book H2OMan!!!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Fovea]

51. I would buy it

and a copy for my buds.

[symbolman]

52. Kick

Just took a nap, but back on duty. Hey H2OMan! We've got a line around the block for you, come and sign some copies already :)

[Missy Vixen]

53. Every day, he writes the book*

H2OMan,

You must write this book. I will be standing in line at the bookstore to buy it.

Julie
*homage to Elvis Costello

[byronius]

54. H2O -- The Voice Of America.. He's Got It.

[RagAss]

55. Oh yes !!!!

[roguevalley]

56. write it. Remember. Valerie Plame was born in Anchorage, Alaska

[LSK]

57. he could put together a book of his postings

Paul Krugman's the Great UnRaveling is just a collection of his editorials over the years.

[mod mom]

58. Me, too!

:hi:

[Sydnie]

59. Yes please n/t

[CanSocDem]

60. Count me in....

Both you guys do great work.....not to mention necessary.

[Renew Deal]

61. Of course

He deserves something for his hard work.

[DearAbby]

62. Oh Absolutely!

:applause:

[Beam Me Up]

63. Great Idea!!

:thumbsup:

[Schema Thing]

64. Yes please.

[dmr]

65. Great idea!

I'd buy more than one copy, and also donate a couple copies to the library!

[Octafish]

66. Heck, yeah. I'll buy two copies.

One for me and one for the time capsule.

[bonito]

67. Hand up, n/t

[oasis]

68. Write on H20Man.

[barbtries]

69. my hand's up,

i think...i think H2Oman is one of DU's posters whose posts i consider a must read.

[Old and In the Way]

70. Hear, hear!

Enjoy his commentaries here immensely. He have some very talented and influential writers that grace this site. Great web media developers, too! :-)

Maybe H2O Man and Symbolman can team up for a multimedia Plame presentation?

[Catrina]

71. Yes! Yes! And Octafish should write the book on the Bush Crime Family

H2OMan's posts on the Plame affair are the best! They are a must read. But only if he wants to! Writing a book is 'hard work'! :-)

I never miss reading his posts, and I never miss reading Octafish's posts. Both put today's top stories in context with history, which is totally fascinating ~

Good idea Symbolman. I want to get your film also, when I can afford it which I hope will be soon.

So many talented patriots on DU! :applause:

[BrklynLiberal]

72. I'll buy and read anything H2O Man writes!!!

[SupplyConcerns]

73. And let's remember Peace Patriot's take on it

That it had to do with a desperate attempt by Bush and Blair's administrations to prevent word of their failed plot to plant WMD's in Iraq from getting out.

[Pastiche423]

74. My hand's a wavin'

[althecat]

75. .... raises hand

[symbolman]

76. I guess I'm to blame for jumping the gun here

and I take full responsibility for posting this, I still think it would have been a great idea and many have offered to throw their backs into it, even a publisher who contacted me to pass on their info to H20Man, but for whatever reason (and granted, it's a hell of a lot of work), the short and sweet of it is that H2OMan has declined.

I thought I'd post that and save folks getting their hopes up due to my silly, excited, presumptuous post.

It's something I think would make a hell of a difference, since there's so much dreck out there, but like they say, "if wishes were fishes.."

I'm sure H2OMan is flattered and thinks of all of you as very kind for your responses.

Damn. Sorry about that, my fault.

Doesn't mean we can't enjoy his great work here, on his blog and elsewhere, be sure to frequent his posts, if anything this thread has lend much credence to the massive respect for the man, and that's a good thing.

Let's not pester him about it, I don't want to have gotten people to feel like he owes us a book due to my irresponsible dreaming here :)

Seemed like a good idea at the time.

[King Coal]

77. Sorry, but I vote for DiHydrogen MonOxide.

[Stephanie]

78. Do it!

I will help you get a publisher!

xx
S

[Stockholm]

79. Please do

But can I request a Plame scandal for dummies?

[sendero]

80. H2OMan..

... should write whatever he wants :) Props to him for being a great source of information and analysis.

[TransitJohn]

81. Do it waterman

you are good.
