I Won't Be Reading It

I've always considered myself to have a pretty high tolerance for pain. For instance after being shot in the stomach, I found myself cracking jokes with the EMS Tech on the way to the hospital. But I do have my limits, and I have no doubt that trying to read Sarah Palin's book of fiction would send me way above my pain tolerance very quickly.

Therefore, I won't be reading Sarah's book. I understand it is full of lies and half-truths, but I will leave it to much braver journalists and bloggers than me to expose them. And I'm sure many of them will spend the next month or so doing just that. However, I will avidly read as many of these commentaries as I can.

Meanwhile, President Obama has shown me that he's as smart as I thought he was. He has said that he won't be reading Palin's book either. He was a little nicer than me about it though, saying, "I probably won't, but I don't get a chance to read things other than briefing books very often these days anyway."

  1. God is that a generous dose of tact from the President or what?

    The excerpts have been painful enough, but nothing compares to listening to her speak. If I were a guy, her voice would make me go limp instantly.

    Check themudflats.net...they are taking one for the team in a huge way.

    (Sorry for the delay. I've been kinda busy.)

    As for the President's tact, I've always felt he's a pretty classy guy, even if I strongly disagree with his policies.

    My mama always told me, "If you don't have something nice to say about someone, don't say anything at all." I guess Mama Obama told her son the same thing.

  3. I have Trent Lott's autobiography in my home for some reason. I guess that will meet all my Republican right wing book needs.
