Josh Marshall has an excerpt from a Washington Times excerpt from Bill Sammon’s new book, Misunderestimated: The President Battles Terrorism, John Kerry and the Bush Haters. Here is my own excerpt of Josh’s excerpt:
“I get the newspapers — the New York Times, The Washington Times, The Washington Post and USA Today — those are the four papers delivered,” he said. “I can scan a front page, and if there is a particular story of interest, I’ll skim it.”
…
“He does not dwell on the newspaper, but he reads the sports page every day,” Mr. Card said with a chuckle.
…
Mr. Bush thinks that immersing himself in voluminous, mostly liberal-leaning news coverage might cloud his thinking and even hinder his efforts to remain an optimistic leader.
Remember, this is a pro-Bush book, reprinted in a pro-Bush newspaper.
You want to know why liberals are really so angry? You can’t parody this guy! His reality exceeds our best attempts at humorous exaggeration.
