Critics of George Bush continue their nasty derision of the president over his supposed aversion to serious reading. Perhaps they should do some reading themselves - specifically, they should read NewsMax pundit Arnaud de Borchgrave's recent column.
He disclosed that Bush had read 104 books in a year, an impressive total for a man with many pressing demands on his time.
De Borchgrave noted that according to Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte, Bush reads two to three books a week and does not watch television.
Bush's favored reading material includes books about history and biographies of famous statesmen - and three stateswomen who took their countries to war, namely Britain's Margaret Thatcher, Israel's Golda Meir, and India's Indira Gandhi.
De Borchgrave disclosed: "Bush identifies with George Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Truman, and on the other side of the pond, Winston Churchill; all men of courage who did what was right when it was most difficult."
