[Conspiracy Guy]

Are the pages two ply and quilted. Can I buy the book in roll form? Tearing the pages out wastes a lot of paper.

[IncPen]

The laurels go to Jimmy Carter, the 78-year-old Nobel peace prize winner, who has written a work of historical fiction

The Carter Presidential library has been putting out fiction for years...

[boothead]

When this nut-head dies, he better not go where Teddy Roosevelt is. Teddy will take his "big stick" and beat the peanut butter out of him for giving away "his" Panama Canal.

[concentric circles]

Is there a scene in which a rabbit plays a prominent role?
Does the rabbit decide to give up it's peaceful ways and fight?

[LocalT]

I wish his presidency was fiction. Who reads his crap?

[dodger]

JFK didn't write history -- his stuff was ghosted by Schlesinger from college days on. As for 'novelist' Carter, well, well ....

[mountaineer]

No US president has hitherto attempted fiction

Blubba Clinton supposedly is working on it now, but is a tad behind schedule. What's that? Nonfiction? LOL, I don't think so!

[macamadamia]

I'm sure J.C. (not Jesus, but the peanut farmer with a messiah complex) sincerely believes his novel would be eminently publishable even if he had not been POTUS. Step aside Walker Percy, J.C.'s about to take the spotlight.

I just saw the original fiction from this guy - something about how his adminstration secured the freedom of the hostages in Iran - it just happened on the day Rondal reagan took office. Just a coincidence.

LOL...that's good.

I suggest the special fluffy, double bonded edition.

[Verginius Rufus]

Carter has written fiction before--his campaign biography, Why Not the Best?

John Adams, Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson wrote books of some distinction.

[Conspiracy Guy]

People always leave the important details out.

[Fintan]

I'm assuming there's a chapter on how his "ancestors" gave away the Panama Canal to the PRC.

 

 

 

[Petronski]

Excerpt: When ole' Slim saw the Madame standing in the doorway of the bordello, he knew he would throw caution to the wind. As coolly as he could, he sauntered up to her, doffed his dusty hat and, bowing deeply, asked "Eve'nin ma'am, I'm fixin' to lust after you in my heart. How much you charge for the heart-lustin'?"

[yankeedame]

Is there a scene in which a rabbit plays a prominent role?

You mean like, "Tell me about the rabbits again, George"

[Cuttnhorse]

Do you 'pose he sees himself as Mel Gibson? Wonder if he's been watching the Patriot?

[MonroeDNA]

Legacy building, after a failed presidency and a failed after-presidency.

I am going to write a book about, uh, ME!
