Let there be no mistake about it, George Bush is out to sell a book and if he doesn’t wish to discuss an issue, he won’t. On the other hand, it occurs to me that he may not have read it himself and can’t.
Though Bush has made the rounds, only Matt Lauer has asked Bush the serious questions and demanded answers. Bush has a facile excuse for the egregious
lies that he does deign to answer, but when faced with questions of great importance, questions which he could have faced at the Hague – his arrogance shows through and he once again, says "Read the book!" For variation, Bush will also say "Tell them to read the book." Bush will often return to "I don’t want to debate, read the book." He’s likely to be thinking, "You eggheads go ahead and read the blankety blank book, I have a golf cart warming up."
Perhaps a glimpse of the making of this monster is given in what Bush has explained as a ‘bonding moment’ with his mother, who shares a special event with him. She is a special lady, as we’ve come to know. There’s just Babs, young George, and the sibling in a jar. He still has no curiosity as to why mom would handle a miscarriage in that manner. The tender scene puts one in mind of the childhood of any American boy. Can’t you just see Mrs Cleaver with the Beav, Wally and – the Jar?
