Man will this book be biased against Bush. Brinkley was the "historian" that was part of Sean Penn's posse in the sinking rowboat in N.O. last week. And then I heard a brief clip on Brinkley on Imus and he was putting the full blame on Bush for Katrina. History books should be stamped with the author's political affiliations.
Yet another BASH BUSH book on the market???
Blech...Douglas Brinkley sold out any credibility to John Kerry...which makes him a prostitute writer...
NOT a legit historian.
Does Brinkley know that the hurricane worked for the CIA in 'Nam?
Yesh--Revisionist history before there's something to revise! Now historians aren't even letting there be an inspiring tale of heroism and greatness, a story that makes one proud to be American...instead we jump straight into the white male bashing.
Newflash to the Scholar--history can't be about contemporaneous events, or at least it shouldn't be. Some time should pass before any analysis is attempted.
This only adds resolve to my belief that leftism is nothing more than an enduring mental adolescence. Teenagers despise their parents because, well, they're their parents. They fail to appreciate their folks' virtues until later in life. Likewise, liberals find fault with their country out of lack of perspective and gratefulness.
Works for me. EVERYONE should write a book about Katrina and sit back and watch the Big Bucks roll in!
Is that why "W.W. Beauchamp" Brinkley was following around "English Bob" Penn?
Worse than the Galveston hurricane of 1900?
I don't THINK so.
Over 6,000 were killed - real victims, not figments of Ray Nagin's fetid imagination.
No kidding a book, the sun will rise in the east and dogs will bite man, so where is the news?
Not "The Great Bush Soaking" or similar?
Maybe the toxic sludge would kill the e. coli which up until now has prevented rational people from swimming there.
But I can't imagine where the "toxic sludge" came from - Tulane's not near Ponchartrain.
He lives in NOLA -- was out with Sean Penn in his book.
He'll write the book and Michael Moore will make it into a movie
This book will be one page.... IT'S ALL BUSH'S FAULT.
Yo, Author... I've read it. I've heard it. I'm sick of it.
They might as well get Baghdad Bob to write it.
