CQ Politics: Presidential Reading
Karl Rove once claimed that President George W. Bush read 95 books in a year as part of a bet.
Apparently, President Obama is not as well read.
Reporter Michael Powell to the Columbia Journalism Review: “I got talking to him about what he reads and was telling me about these different policy tomes. And I said, ‘Well, yeah, but come on. I’m out here on the campaign trail with you, you’re up even earlier than I am, and I’ve been carrying around this Philip Roth book with me for two months and I’m yet to even crack it.’ He actually laughed at that point, and said, ‘Yeah, you have very little chance to really read. I basically floss my teeth and watch Sports Center.’”
In case you missed it: My “Letters to President-elect Obama: Tammy Bruce” which appeared in the gay and lesbian magazine The Advocate just after Obama’s election. It’s good to be right.

This is why I’m glad to be insignificant; I’ve got time to read. Although what I don’t have time or money for is a dozen far-flung vacations a year. But nevertheless, I’m curious what people read. Personally I shun books about “current events” or any hot-button stuff; I’d rather read novels that help me grasp the human condition just a little bit more (it’s all a great mystery to me). So what’s this about a Philip Roth book? Probably a reference to Portnoy’s Complaint. (I once picked up that book, but I actually found it so demeaning to humanity that I threw it against the wall in horror and disgust. To the extent it was true, it was not the sort of truth from which artistry can emerge. This is not a universal condemnation, but a statement of personal taste.)
I started working on political slogans.

Looks like ICE wants to be willfully derelict in its duties and give a free pass to any illegal aliens who are caught in a routine traffic stop. Democrats making their own “catch and release” rules in opposition to the will and laws of the people?
My G-d, Tammy. You’re a visionary. Your letter reads as if it were written today!
“I told you so,” indeed.
