After seeing Ricky Bobby's nemesis in Talladega Nights (Jean Girard) reading "The Stranger" while racing, I just found this article amusing.

He's reading Camus, but he's feeling Sartre (No Exit).

Lizavetta's suggestion to Bush - pick up some H.L. Mencken.....please.

He's reading Camus, but he's feeling Sartre (No Exit).That's pretty clever. Kudos.

"To be is to do," Socrates.
"To do is to be," Sartre.
"To be do be do," Sinatre.

actually, Sinatra said, "do be do be do be do."

I wonder how many of Bush's oh-so-intelligent detractors have read "The Stranger"?
To: Zeroisanumber
At least he doesn't have Dirty Hands!

Bush's detractors are, by and large, empty-headed pretenders.
To: popdonnelly
Not enough...they are still existential nihilists at heart.

Oh, and BTW - just imagine what the press would say if he was reading The Plague.

Nietsche is peachy, but Sartre is smarter...

Come now, surely you recall Algore telling Arianna dahlink that he spent one teenage summer in Cannes, "reading the existentialists in the original." The same summer he also spent plowing a hillside behind a pair of mules in Tennessee.

I once read 20 pages or so of Camus' "The Plague."
I've been halfway through Hesse's "Steppenwolf" for months now.
I once bought the Complete Works of Shakespeare.

If I was a teenager in Cannes, I could think of things I'd rather be doing than reading the existentialists. I always thought that Gore was a strange guy.

That is an interesting post. No more shall I sing "You are worthress Arec Barrwin."
If there is a sequel to the movie Team America - World Police, President Bush might have a small role.

Next he'll be smoking Gaulois and forsaking Crawford for a shack in the Atlas Mountains. La Guerre est Finis.
