Veteran journalist Bob Woodward is releasing an audiobook that includes eight hours of interviews with TFG. CNN obtained a copy of the book, which will be released next week, and said it offers “unvarnished insights.”
Honestly? I have now read 22 books about the former president. Some were better than others, but I can’t say I’ve been surprised at much of what I’ve read.
But maybe I’m wrong. Do you think there will be any revelations from this audiobook? I’m planning on skipping this one.
I'm sorry I missed your talk with Maggie Haberman. I assume there was a discussion about so many journalists with White House access withheld so much information for their books. Would the 4 long FPOTUS years have been any different, I wonder, if the public knew in real time just how corrupt it was and still is?
I agree. The revelation that has upset me most has been the realization that so many knew so much that might have made a difference but they withheld what they knew.
Do you remember when Bob Woodward was on the promotional trail for Fear, and liked to end interviews as he did that book? Saying in quiet graves tones, "The President was a fucking liar."
I am not convinced that Mr. Woodward is great at identifying coups de grace at this point. I do not prioritize audio reading this one, though likely I will do so. :D
I have an audiobook of Why We Did It waiting at an Arapahoe County public library. I've heard Tim Miller interviewed by Al Franken, and was stuck anew by how Republicans just think everyone granted them Authority of Naming Problems. "The economy," they say, "inflation," they say, "the crime wave," they say, "the border crisis," they say, and smile in a superior way. As if they were always talking about real phenomena, and as if A Stern Republican Talking-To Would Solve Everything. I expect I'll find the book interesting and worthwhile, but geez Louise.
Nah, listening to music on our way back to Connecticut from Florida. Billy Strings. Have you listened to him yet? A hobo, hi ho, in his past and bass fisher at present. Played with Willie. Making plans to follow him to shows! No time for the failed former, ugh! An audio book, really???
I keep wishing the Trumpster will tick off a Mafia don who can make him disappear. At my age I have no precious time to waste hearing him lie- which happens every time he opens his mouth.
Eight hours of FPOTUS? Or 6 hours for the whole audiobook? I don't want to listen to FPOTUS's voice for 8 minutes, never mind 8 hours.
Same here. Pass. Cheerfully so.

Let me know what you think of that book. It's on my secondary list...
Want my read on Kellyanne Conway and Jared Kushner? Both were fascinating, and I want to see a cage match between the authors.
Oh, hay! I'd pay for that.
Cage match or my reads? I'm afraid we couldn't pay enough to get the cage match to happen, even if we pooled our funds. :D
Cage match. I'm small like that. And we can certainly pool funds but I need to knock over a bank first.
Will do!

He and Molly Tuttle together are fun to watch (Billy Strings that is).
Yes
Respect
Lordy, The Maj Deegan X traffic!
Less like the cauldron in Orlando and more realistic and restful, lol!
Does this mean you’re closing in? What a long drive that is.
Home to Canton in 2! Phew! What a ride! A looong, strange one, for true!
Welcome home.
I've heard of Billy but maybe should go explore more.
Indeed
I keep wishing the Trumpster will tick off a Mafia don who can make him disappear. At my age I have no precious time to waste hearing him lie- which happens every time he opens his mouth.
I want to believe in the rule of law, but Ford pardoned Nixon, so…
I’d rather watch the series about Jeffrey Dahmer and I don’t want to watch that at all.
Ha. Good one.
Woodward has Trump on tape saying his letter to the North Korean President was “Top Secret.”
The letter was among the documents recovered from Mar-a-Lago.
That, I read. So can I go ahead and skip listening?
I've had my computer muted since 2016 precisely because I can't listen to that voice. Hard pass.
I turn off the TV when it comes on, myself. Who needs it?
I’d rather get the switch!
I'd rather chew aluminum foil.
I’d rather gargle my eyeballs.
