So according to some of the latest Bush exit spin...

[akujunkan]

...(quoted in a NYT article here) the still-president read 95 books last year.

So fucking what? I read 153, in multiple languages, plus countless journal, magazine, and newspaper articles.

And I'm still not qualified to be president.

Just sayin'.

That will be all.

Camus, indeed.

You know what? The more I think about that article, the more I think Bush is confusing page word count with book count.

He can read?! o_O;

No, but Karl Rove sits on the corner of his bed every night and points to each word as he reads to Bush.

WHATEVER!!!

I read as much over the summer, and it didn't include My Pet Goat.

There's your problem. If you didn't read My Pet Goat, the other books don't count.

95? Should I be impressed? O, who as you know only learned to read in 2008, read over 400 books on her own, to me. We read another 350-odd together, which pushed my book reading tally to near 800 ;) Does that give me a chance at the presidency? *G*

I don't think all of these should count, do you?
