From MoDo ($):
Mr. Bush tells journalists he has been reading prodigiously, 53 books so far this year, with three bios of George Washington, two of Lincoln and one of Mao.
I'm putting this in the same category as the North Korean guy's multiple holes in one (or is it hole in ones?).
Hmm. That's about 1.5 books per week -- and tons of hours sitting in the corner while the adults around him wreck the planet.

Bush, who have a higher GPA at Yale than John Kerry, couldn't possibly read that many books.

"The new push to present the President as a bookworm is as desperate as it is dubious."

What does the President's relative grades have to do with anything (they were both average students)?
I don't see how anyone with a very demanding work schedule can read so many books. Especially when many of them are bios.

John,
That's what I said, I didn't see how anyone could read so many books. Especially for someone only slightly brighter than John Kerry.

Tom,
Gotcha. I should have waited until afternoon to start drinking my beers.
John
