Like Shooting Fish in a Barrel ...

Sometimes you find a story that is

JUST TOO DAMNED good to pass up.

I think this is one of those stories:

-

-

According to the media today, it would seem that

US First Lady Laura Bush

and

daughter Jenna

are co-authoring a childrens' book.

A childrens' BOOK ???

Now, aside from the obligatory rant about celebrities and

the hyping of books that they write and people buy

simply because they are recognizable names,

but have little to no literary merit or talent,

there are a couple of dots that need to be connected here:

First off - daughter Jenna,

Now am I wrong, or wasn't she the Bush daughter

who was partying hardy while at College?

Do we really want her to write books for kids??

Moreover, what kind of life experience does the

daughter and Grand-daughter of US Presidents,

who has lived a pretty pampered & sheltered life

have to offer the rest of the unwashed masses?

AND, what has she done beyond being born into

the "right" family, to merit a publishing contract??

Can't really say anything bad about Mrs. Bush though,

the handlers have kept her out of trouble

and there's always a smart one in the family !!

-

I guess if there is an upside all of this

it is that Mr President may finally have a book he's able to read:

-

Then again maybe not ...

Oh well, both Laura and Jenna are teachers,

I guess one of them will just have to read it to him!!

-----------------------------------------

In the meantime - I say we begin boycotting

any book that is written by a celebrity.

Just cause your name has recognition

doesn't mean it's literature!!!
