Calling Bullshit on Bush

This I simply cannot believe. Thus spake Bush:

"I tell people—I read an interesting book by [Richard] Carwardine—I'm on my eighty-seventh book this year." With rueful admiration, he added, "Rove's on, like, a hundred two.

(From Bob Draper's new book, Dead Certain.)

No way. And if it is true, Bush should be impeached, now. We've had around 245 days this year. That's a book around every 2.8 days. Unless he's reading kids' books, there is simply no way he could do that.

I work hard. Not as hard as I hope he works. I can read fast, and I love reading, and I would get fired if I were reading a book every 3 days because I wouldn't be getting much work done. I suppose if I left work every day at 6:00 (hahaha!), got home at 6:30 and read until 11:00, never stopping to do anything else, not going out with friends or doing anything social, I might be able to keep up with that schedule. But not if I were, say, running a country and a government, doing the campaign circuit, meet and greets, etc.

So I'm calling bullshit. But then, the man lies and no one seems to mind, so this one will just get swept under the table. . .

He probably reads "condensed" versions - something like Cole's notes.

Otherwise, he's not working very hard if he has time to read like he claims. He probably looks at the pictures and captions and thinks he's read them.
