Kitty Kelley's Bush family expose:
Watch out Bush Family! The amazing biographer Kitty Kelley has a new book coming out about the Bush family dynasty on September 14th -- just in time to wreak havoc in this election! Kelley has, to my knowledge, never been successfully sued for slander. She has exposed Frank Sinatra and the royal family. She manages to dig up dirt that no one else can. And her books always end up on the bestseller lists. Watch for some juicy secrets about the Bushes to be revealed.

3. me, too!
loved it!

loved the Frank Sinatra one, as well

the part about some guy coming up to Jackie Mason at a stoplight in Florida and SMASHING his face in with a chainmail-covered fist, cause he wouldn't stop making Sinatra jokes

or the part where he had a COP of some sort murdered! Reno/Tahoe, IIRC. it was in the book, and he didn't sue

or the part in the Nancy book about her having to come to GHWB's rescue, cause he'd been caught in a DC car accident with his mistress, ostensibly Jeniffer Fitzgerald (I don't think she named her)

both books are very very entertaining

5. So did I
Nancy is a cheap bitch. Geesh... rewrapping gifts from others and pawning them off to others.

and it's a tried and true method!

23. love your sig line
Yeah, Kitty's book was a gem... Funny though how in retrospect, this current crowd makes one rather like Nancy. At least she stood up to the GOP wackos who wanted to change the dime. She NEVER liked that toxic cow Barbara Bush. And she gave birth to a son who's expressed his disdain for Bushco...

13. I'm still reeling over Nancy giving blow jobs to half the world
including some of the rat pack in a car heading toward
Vegas (?). I remember that friend of her father telling
his family to stay away from her when she came on to
him as a young girl. If it wasn't true, Nancy would have
had her behind. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO looking forward to
Kitty Kelly's book. :)

8. Wow! I've been waiting for this one.
Kitty can dish. If she survived Sinatra, she'll survive the Bush* cabal, too.

9. Who's her publisher? Talk about intimidation. . .
The Bushies will make clear to the publisher that it is out of business if it releases the book prior to the election. Watch and see.

10. This book will never see a September or October release date
Ms. Kelley should watch her back.

11. She should say its in a locked vault


Yes! I adore Kitty's trash books. They are the best.
I think she should do what Princess Diana did ahead of time - say three copies are already in the hands of an independent publisher and three copies are in the hands of friends in a variety of locations.
Good luck Kitty, watch your back and your front.

12. Kitty's Books Ain't Trash---Her Subjects Are
I LOVED in the Nancy one where the opening sentence is:

"Nothing on her birth certificate is true------not her name, not her birth date, not her father's name, nothing..."

(Not a literal, actual quotation, but you get the drift.)

Btw, Nancy's name was "Anne Francis ROBBINS".

16. It will be a one-day international laydown date
Kitty Kelley's book will be published on the same day around the globe. It hasn't yet been delivered -- my publishing contacts in the UK tell me they're expecting the manuscript to hit their desks in April. She has more than just a U.S. publisher -- she has publishers around the world who'll be bringing it out. I don't expect there's any way this one will get banned.

19. Totally
I've only read one, Nancy Reagan: The Unauthorized Biography. It was devastating (to Anne Francis ROBBINS, Nancy DAVIS REAGAN's real name). Refreshing now that the media portrays her as Saint Nancy.

of getting information for her own book. :D

22. I like Kitty Kelley
Mind you -- it is hard to imagine anything more damaging to the Bush Chimperial Dynasty than Kevin Phillips excellent book -- but this one will be enjoyable from the "personal" angle -- i.e. destroying the facade that the Bushistas have attempted to create for themselves. In truth -- they are as creepy and as disfunctional and disturbing as any family you would see on "Cops" or rampaging within the walls of the presidential compound of any Banana Republic or decadent Roman villa.

Funny -- I don't find Kelley "nasty" -- I just think she has a great eye for the foibles of human character. Her books seem to be, at times, like a John Waters film -- revolting and compassionate at the same time. She has an engaging style of writing, and must be a kind of "sponge" for people to reveal their juicy stories to.

She does not seem to have an axe to grind with anyone or for any cause -- hence, there is never a sense of meanness or vindictiveness in her work; she just enjoys a great story, which can consist of the dirt that hypocrites try to hide. A lot have written here about her nasty stories about Nancy Reagan -- funny -- the book had the opposite effect on me: seeing Mrs Reagan as such a vulnerable person made me feel sympathetic towards her.

I eagerly await this book. It will appear at an excellent time, after people have been brainwashed with those sickening Riefenstahl-like commericals of President His Chimperial Majesty and his Loving WifeTM Laura -- this book is going to take the mickey out of these bastards but good.

24. She's superb at getting people to talk
I was talking to an editor who's worked with Kelly, and she said that Kitty is SOOO disarmingly sweet and nonthreatening when she's working you over. She puts people at ease and before you know it, you're telling her your most intimate secrets.

You see, this is why women make much better spies than men do. They know how to sweet-talk you out of your secrets!
