Don’t Mess With The Bushes
Tuesday, September 14, 2004
There is a great article on Salon.com, Don’t Mess With The Bushes. Salon interviews Kitty Kelley, author of the new book, “The Family - The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty.” In her book she exposes the Bush family for what they really are.
Although the interview was serious, there were a few funny parts.
But, as one of W.’s Yalie frat brothers tells Kelley, it’s not the substance abuse in Bush’s past that’s disturbing, it’s the “lack of substance ... Georgie, as we called him, had absolutely no intellectual curiosity about anything. He wasn’t interested in ideas or in books or causes. He didn’t travel; he didn’t read the newspapers; he didn’t watch the news; he didn’t even go to the movies. How anyone got out of Yale without developing some interest in the world besides booze and sports stuns me.” New Yorker writer Brendan Gill recalls roaming the Kennebunkport compound one night while staying there looking for a book to read—the only title he could find was “The Fart Book.”
