I Read Mudflats' Recap of Going Rogue So You Don't Have To

Seriously?

Seriously.

This is about as close to reading the book as I'm ever going to get, unless I suddenly have the urge to become a model and need a quickie crash diet/bulimia plan. Eegads, i hate this woman. I would say why, but I will let the following selections from Mudflats' blogging of the reading experience clue you in instead.

She found it amusing when Barack Obama “one of whose senior advisors (come to think of it) – had roots in Alaska – adopted the same theme. Yes folks, you read that right. She is insinuating that Barack Obama stole HER idea to run a campaign on “change” via Pete Rouse. I bet nobody in political history EVER ran a campaign with a change theme before.

...more to come as Mudflats continues. In the meantime, I have some drinking to do.
