Bush Read "The Da Vinci Code"????

[Khephra]

I don't buy it for a minute!!! It's too complex for him to understand. Now if this article is saying that Laura read it to him...well...

:evilgrin:

A Page-Turner for the First Couple

President Bush's taste in reading runs to political biographies and American history, but he and his wife recently finished a book that is neither — and that can't have thrilled Mr. Bush's more devout supporters. The president made his way through "The Da Vinci Code," the thriller with everything in it from eye-popping sexual rites to the Holy Grail. The novel, by Dan Brown, explores art, feminism, conspiracies and murder and is highly critical of the Roman Catholic Church.

"An interesting mystery, a great page-turner — and clearly fiction," the first lady said of the book, through her press secretary, Gordon Johndroe. The book has been at or near the top of The New York Times best-seller list for more than six months. No word from the White House on what the president thought.

Then play with the Fay line to get (eventually) to De WingField and Beauchamps. Yeah, you can go all kinds of neat places. Don't neglect the women in the chart. Never forget the ladies.

14. Wow those family trees go back

through De Montfort's , Bruces, and Stuarts, among others
But everyone of them just sort of turns to question marks around 900.
So what could really be made of them. Did notice a few 'crusaders' in there, so I guess he gets it honest.

2. "It's Clearly Fiction"

:D

[carrowsboy]

3. Laura : "and clearly fiction"

Well gee, thanks a lot FartFace. I would never have guessed that in a million years!

[tom_paine]

4. Of course he didn't read it

My God, these people can't open their mouths without lying, can they?

[UTUSN]

5. What---"The Hungry Caterpiller" Was Checked OUT??!!! n/t

[bleedingheart]

8. I think he should be reading the Angry Ladybug by this time... also

by Eric Carle but for the older child reader... and so appropriate for the current world situation!

[PVnRT]

6. I thought Bush stuck to kiddie stories

about hungry caterpillars and such. Isn't this a bit out of his league?

And when the FUCK does he find time to read a damn book when we have TWO conflicts going on??? If Clinton had done this, right-wingers would be clammoring for impeachment.

[HFishbine]

7. "he and his wife recently finished a book"

Translation: She read it to him at bedtime.

[procopia]

9. Article didn't lie...

It said he "made his way through" the book. Sounds like a word game to me.

[procopia]

11. (slaps forehead) Why didn't we realize this?

It was an audio book, of course. Bush "made his way through" an audio book.

[ameriphile]

10. Hey-- don't give Bush such a hard time

Maybe "The Da Vinci Code" is out in Cliff Notes.

[nostamj]

13. nah, at best he read the back cover

or a one paragraph synopsis prepared by his staff.

[qanda]

23. Right!

The man cannot even read a newspaper and we're supposed to believe that he's tackling something complex and thought provoking. Give me a break!

[Fleshdancer]

12. Is the pop-up version out already???

Great. Now he has a whole new reason for wanting to bomb France.

Seriously though. I started reading The DaVinci Code yesterday and finished it this morning...I couldn't put it down. Hands down one of the best novels I've ever read.

[Khephra]

15. I've started in on the first book of that series

"Angels and Demons", but I haven't been able to get into it yet. The writing is sort of stilted. I'm hoping that Brown's skills got better between book one and two.

[CivilRightsNow]

16. DaVinci Code..

is about as vapid as it gets.

[alittlelark]

17. m.moore

If I'm not mistaken, a good chunk of the NYT list is currently occupied by lefties. I hope Georgie-Porgie is making use of the info. which is available................ NAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WHAT was I THINKING!!!!

19. This story is going to drive skull and bones conspiracy theorist

crazy. It is mason related.

[Khephra]

20. hehe

I was sort of thinking the same thing. I can't wait to mention this to my fellow Lodge Brothers who are liberals. One of my fellow Lodge members just happens to be the person who told me about Brown's books.

[NormanConquest]

25. I watched "From Hell" last night

Aggh, the international Illuminati/Freemason conspiracy is following me everywhere!!! :crazy:

[qanda]

21. They meant to say that Mrs. Bush read it to Mr. Bush*

You know he has to have his bedtime story to go with him warm glass of milk before beddie bye time.

[Military Brat]

22. bush misunderstood the question; he read The Da Vinci Goat.

"Snort" likes books about goats. You know, like that story about the pet goat he read in a classroom in Florida while thousands died on September 11, 2001.

Edit typo.

[CO Liberal]

24. Bush Thinks The Da Vinci Code Is Why He Sneezed

Because he had a code in his doze.......

:-)

[Beaker]

26. "No word from the White House on what the president thought."

talk about something that goes without saying...

[gasperc]

27. Bush can read???

hey, whoa, freaked me out dude
