World's Shortest Books (humor)
Edited on Fri Feb-18-05 02:47 AM by Liberty Belle
(A friend e-mailed me the Republican's list of "shortest books" by Democrats, (ie, Clinton on morality). I thought it only fair to respond in kind with my own list of the "World's Shortest Books" by Republican authors!)


World’s Shortest Books:

Election Integrity, by Kenneth Blackwell

My Career as a Journalist: The Straight Scoop, by "Jeff Gannon"

Don't Bug Me: An Exterminator's Guide to Political Ethics, by Tom DeLay

Respecting Human Rights, by Alberto Gonzalez

Protecting Our Troops: How to Weld Trash Can Lids & Other Tips to show I Care, by Donald Rumsfeld

Protecting New Yorkers' Health After 9-11, by Christie Todd Whitman

How to Tell When Terrorists are About to Strike the US, by Condoleezza Rice


Corporate Responsibility, by Kenneth Lay

and the world's shortest book of all:

Winning Friends Around the World,
by George W. Bush
