Are you smarter than an Odummer voter. They were going to stick with fifth grader, but ...

"Reading, to certain people, is classified as a sort of prissy, fussy, sissified activity",doesn't this actually describe the vast majority of the people who voted for the 0?  I mean, isn't reading uncool, not to be admitted to? 

"Everybody knows" that former President Bush is dumb.

"Everybody knows" that former President Bush doesn't read.

(Just like "everybody knew" Iraq didn't have WMDs.)

Therefore, "everybody" doesn't believe it when people who actually know former President Bush give facts that don't jive with what "everybody knows."

And I thought public schools were teaching children how to think for themselves.

Some of the people in our congregation carry a bible to church every Subday but have never seen inside the cover. Slick Willie was very good at that at his church.

Rest assured the old media will have the Chosen One reading ten books a day in between trips to the gym. Chrissy will be in front of him turning the pages for him so he can read faster.

Jesus Loves You

Let me just add that commenting on The Chi-Com Trib site, requires no registration for those that would like to take Julia to task on her elitism.

"You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious. "

- Ben Kenobi on  Liberals, and the MSM.

" The Cake is a lie."   

"Bush became the poster president for the non-literary set, for people who not only don't read, but also seem to be rather proud of not reading. Reading, to certain people, is classified as a sort of prissy, fussy, sissified activity, equivalent to daydreaming or lollygagging. It's a sign of elitism. Of having too much leisure time and too little drive."

Who ARE these people?  Who is this Bush voting non-literary set? Who on EARTH said they are proud of NOT reading.  Wo thinks reading is "sissy."

Why do people like Julia Keller trade in what can only seen as vicious, spiteful almost hateful lies, that seem only designed to elevate themselves, and denigrate swathes of people of whom she clearly knows nothing?

How many books does the typical Obama celeb read. Kanye West for instance.  Scarlet Johanson?  I bet they get though 100s a year. Sure.

"The nature of an ideology is not determined by majority vote—but by logic... The logic of environmentalism leads to a society without technology... even if various environmentalists would deny this." Ayn Rand, 1971

Keller is doing her part to continue the Chi-Trib's march into bankruptcy by writing crap.

Meanwhile, are new first stupid liberal, bambi, is reading a book about other nations eclipsing the United States and the consequences of that new world.  The sad truth is that through the first stupid liberal's policies it may actually come true.  

Did she really say this: "our widely beloved new leader"????

In one hundred years, and being separated from the BDS that
vomits from today’s media,  historians
will judge Bush in a far more positive light.

On the other hand, the media’s legacy will be judged negatively
as it is now being done 149 years after Lincoln
when the media, of his day, called him a pedophile.

Like today, the Lincoln LDS came
from the Democrats.

In an article such as this, I'm surprised not to see a reference to the Karl Rove Op-Ed that appeared in late Dec. in the WSJ.

<blockquote>

• Bush Is a Book Lover
  
  A glimpse of what the president has been reading.

With only five days left, my lead is insurmountable. The
competition can’t catch up. And for the third year in a row, I’ll
triumph. In second place will be the president of the United States.
Our contest is not about sports or politics. It’s about books.

It all started on New Year’s Eve in 2005. President Bush asked what
my New Year’s resolutions were. I told him that as a regular reader
who’d gotten out of the habit, my goal was to read a book a week in
2006. Three days later, we were in the Oval Office when he fixed me in
his sights and said, “I’m on my second. Where are you?” Mr. Bush had
turned my resolution into a contest.

By coincidence, we were both reading Doris Kearns Goodwin’s “Team of
Rivals.” The president jumped to a slim early lead and remained ahead
until March, when I moved decisively in front. The competition soon
spun out of control. We kept track not just of books read, but also the
number of pages and later the combined size of each book’s pages—its
“Total Lateral Area.”

We recommended volumes to each other (for example, he encouraged me
to read a Mao biography; I suggested a book on Reconstruction’s unhappy
end). We discussed the books and wrote thank-you notes to some authors.

At year’s end, I defeated the president, 110 books to 95. My trophy
looks suspiciously like those given out at junior bowling finals. The
president lamely insisted he’d lost because he’d been busy as Leader of
the Free World.

Mr. Bush’s 2006 reading list shows his literary tastes. The
nonfiction ran from biographies of Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Carnegie,
Mark Twain, Babe Ruth, King Leopold, William Jennings Bryan, Huey Long,
LBJ and Genghis Khan to Andrew Roberts’s “A History of the English
Speaking Peoples Since 1900,” James L. Swanson’s “Manhunt,” and
Nathaniel Philbrick’s “Mayflower.” Besides eight Travis McGee novels by
John D. MacDonald, Mr. Bush tackled Michael Crichton’s “Next,” Vince
Flynn’s “Executive Power,” Stephen Hunter’s “Point of Impact,” and
Albert Camus’s “The Stranger,” among others.

[… 2006 ... 2007 ... 2008]

Each year, the president also read the Bible from cover to cover, along with a daily devotional.

The reading competition reveals Mr. Bush’s focus on goals. It’s not
about winning. A good-natured competition helps keep him centered and
makes possible a clear mind and a high level of energy. He reads
instead of watching TV. He reads on Air Force One and to relax and
because he’s curious. He reads about the tasks at hand, often picking
volumes because of the relevance to his challenges. And he’s right:
I’ve won because he has a real job with enormous responsibilities.

In the 35 years I’ve known George W. Bush, he’s always had a book
nearby. He plays up being a good ol’ boy from Midland, Texas, but he
was a history major at Yale and graduated from Harvard Business School.
You don’t make it through either unless you are a reader.

There is a myth perpetuated by Bush critics that he would rather
burn a book than read one. Like so many caricatures of the past eight years, this one is not only wrong, but also the opposite of the truth
and evidence that bitterness can devour a small-minded critic. Mr. Bush
loves books, learns from them, and is intellectually engaged by them.

For two terms in the White House, Mr. Bush has been in the arena,
keeping America safe and facing down enormous challenges, all the while
acting with dignity. And when on Jan. 20 he flies from Washington to
Texas one last time, he will do so as he arrived—with friends and a
book nearby.</blockquote>

I suppose it hinges upon what the Communists consider evidence of literacy?

I'm sure Noam Chomsky and Bill Moyers would make their list but not the Bible, Coulter, Morris nor probably even Shelby Foote.

One of the 24% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 89% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.

after all, anyone with a southern drawl is always portrayed as backward and ignorant (esp.from texas). which really pisses me off since my people are from n.c and the wife's from tenn. and ky. it's a cheapshot and one of the last forms of acceptable discrimination left.  after all, the left has a hard time acknowledging former pres. bush has opposable thumbs......
