I have yet to see the host say "Gee Rutles why don't you tell us about your latest post on FR."

I don't have access to intelligence supposedly being sandbagged by the CIA, FBI, what-have-you. Weldon claims to. And so can you - for $19.95.

In many cases the author is long dead before a book is read stimulating the production of more research and new ideas. As long as the republic isn't a radioactive wasteland by then. At least that's the urgency Weldon wants us, the consumer - ER ER - I mean, READER to have.

Disraeli was a best selling novelist before he became Prime Minister. JFK had a bestselling book which was worthy of reading. Teddy Roosevelt wrote MANY books on many subjects. Arthur Vandenburg wrote an excellent biography about Alexander Hamilton. Bobby Kennedy wrote an excellent expose of the Communist menace to the labor movement in the fifties. Winston Churchill wrote outstanding histories. Is that enough or do I have to go beyond off the top of my head?

But Weldon isn't SELLING his book as a "reflection" on his political career and/or philosophy. He's selling this as important and urgent information that you and I need in order to survive. Something tells me Winston Churchill would have taken advantage of the Internet to reach the most people in the quickest fashion if he had information like this.

There's no reason Weldon couldn't have written the book after going public in the relatively unconflicted Blogosphere. If this is urgent and critical, what took him so long? Blogs can be compiled and published later. Google and DejaView can retrieve sites with a day-to-day history to prevent future editing conflicts.

Your obessive concern that a Congressman has written a book is beyond my understanding as is your erroneous assumption that he could have chosen a better way to get his message out. That is simply false and he has chosen the EXACT best way to reach the mindnumbed. He is selling it cheap though. I would advise him to raise the price to 29.99 just to p.o. you.

Nothing should have greater urgency than pointing out treason and traitors as we have been doing here for years though I am sure you have been critical of the means or the syntax or the grammar or something.

Most of the books I mentioned are NOT reflections on the authors' political careers or philosophies either. In fact, NONE of them are perhaps you are confusing them with the book of another politician, Mein Kampf.

I wish we had MORE politicians writing books. It might help remove my concern that most are illiterate boobs.
