Don't flame me...of course I know who this is about...but this is a pretty terrific book so far.

2. hint
one's slow & one's grumpy
they live in the white house
they have lots of parties the fun never ends
let's make sure when the day finally comes
time to move out
they don't hand the keys off to one of their friends
and how long are we gonna put up with this
how long can we keep getting kicked in the head
come back and beg for more
this renegade frat boy is hazing the country
his cronies and yes men all cheering him on
when we beg him to stop he just pulls off our dignity
pins down our arms 'til our spirit is gone
and how long.....

5. i read it a couple of weeks ago.
Thought it was interesting; a good attempt at insight into why ANY woman would marry the Doofus; however it missed the mark in making him a beef empire heir rather than an oilman. Surely the latter fact has some significance in getting us into the Iraq quagmire!

6. I actually liked that book too.
I didn't think I would, but it was interesting.
