[janekat]

LMAO!!! Thought some people might find this pretty hysterical or nauseating. I think they'd better re-name this book: "How to be a Good Puppet" and "The Political Genius of Karl Rove"

10. This book came out some months ago

I gagged then laughed my butt off that anyone would think Whistle-Ass could teach anything about leadership. In fact it should be titled Non-Leadership Idiocy of GWB. Don't Do as I Do in the WH!

15. Hey, if you want to make a buck, why not?

They'll always be idiots that will discount reality in favor of what someone else tells them....Luckily for them, there are no truth in advertising laws that'd preclude them publishing this baloney.

[Vitruvius]

16. Yup -- there's a sucker born every minute -- and they vote Rethugnican

and buy moronic books written for suckers like them. Like this one -- or any of the books by Ann Coulter.

18. Just ask Harkin energy stockholders.

:puke: And then there's those league leading TeXXXas Rangers. Not.

19. Amazon reviews are pretty funny

People talking about putting notes in the margin of this ridiculous book. :-)

But the "recommend another book" page is even funnier:
