Clad in a gray suit and red tie, Bush was relaxed and engaged during the 25-minute interview, going out of his way to say how much he enjoys his relationship with the media despite indications to the contrary. At the end, he talked a bit about recent books -- he mentioned having just finished "King Leopold's Ghost," an account of the plundering of the Congo in the late 19th century -- and expressed some befuddlement at the suggestion that some people do not think he reads.

what does a guy like that think about when he reads a book like that?
he might like V.  I'm relatively sure he'd like Benny and the Crew...it'd remind him of his drinking days.  

Too bad the reporter didn't probe a little.  I mean, could you get the guy to at least go, "yeah, that was a bad scene" -- would it be possible for words to  come out of him indicating disapproval of mass murder for natural resources?  Or would he Kipling his way through?  Is he enjoying the killing scenes?

For bibliophiles, this would be a fascinating topic, as opposed to the rest of the article, which seems to indicate that the mistaken bastard, fomented by right-wing think tanks, is denying the electoral mandate against the war as vigorously as Ahmadinejad and David Duke deny the Holocaust.  hee hee

the really fucked-up thing is how Democrats are also ignoring the mandate against the war - ah never mind...get your war on has a great capsulization of the 109th Congress...4th cartoon from the top http://www.mnftiu.cc/mnftiu.cc/war59.html
