Kennedy 0 #3 October 18, 2004 Waiting for the e-mail. Thanks. Bo - Sorry, I doubt that will be as good a read as teh original Unfit book. The Unfit For Command answered questions about Kerry's service. Unfit Commander, by it's own advertising, merely highlights questions about Bush. By the way, there is no need for most of those questions, as Bush earned the points needed to fullfil his service under the ANG regulations of the time. Unfit For Command showed things not pointed out by most news services. All Unfit Commander looks like it will do is repeat over played complaints about Bush's presidency. yeah, so I can't spellwitty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All Unfit Commander looks like it will do is repeat over played complaints about Bush's presidency. yeah, so I can't spell I sat down at Borders the other day for about four hours or so....I poured over a variety of the political books out there. Both books are very biased and you can almost see the agenda on the page without reading the text. Unfit Commander does read more like a biography than a smear campaign like Unfit for Command does. Commander also goes the route that Command does by grabbing people from Bush's past and quoting them on how he wasn't there, etc. Command seems to have a bit more shine put on it from the editors and publishers. From what I read of both books, I wasn't impressed. They were both terrible pieces of non-fiction. I just find it interesting how much more press Unfit For Command got from the "Liberal Media" and you don't hear much about Commander._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Kennedy 0 #6 October 19, 2004 Quote I just find it interesting how much more press Unfit For Command got from the "Liberal Media" and you don't hear much about Commander. I suppose if you believe that "there's no such thing as bad press," then that might be true. In reality, the only coverage Unfit for COmmand received was to be roundly insulted by most of the media. Tell me, where were the authors invited to speak? WHere were they interviewed? Kitty Kelley was on NBC's Today Show three mornings in a row. Was her book an Amazon and BarnesandNoble.com's #1 spot? Did it spend 4 weeks at the #1 spot on the New York Times bestseller list? The authors were not given a chance to speak on any station other than FNC. Why? Did ABC, CBS, and NBC not think the story was important (aka worth ratings). Well, obviously they thought smearing the book would garner ratings, because they did that up one side and down the other. You don't heat about Unfit Commander because it doesn't do anything new. It's just one more book with questionable facts and a litany of overplayed complaints.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kennedy 0 #8 October 19, 2004 I took advantage of the comfy seats at the nearest B&N, same as you. I didn't finish the entire book, but I was bored silly for most of what I did read. The reason for that is that I went into the book knowing that Bush earned the points for each year of his ANG service. Yes, he may not have done everything, but he fulfilled his obligations. Facts are powerful things. Spin-doctored stories are fool's gold.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
