Unfit for Command

Mule · 08-23-2004, 05:30 AM

Since I intend to vote for John Kerry before I vote against him. I decided I'd pick up this oh so contravercial book. Easier said than done. I called "no *****" every book store in town. One tells me they're expecting "a few" on Friday. I ask them to hold one for me. The girl tells me that people call all the time for the book & she's never seen anything like this before (lack of distribution). I call on Fri, no book. Fri nite they call back, got one for me. Sunday I hop in the trusty 928 & cruise out to Books a Million. There is more anti-Bush crap in the place than at a Michael Moore fried chicken eating contest, & my lone Unfit for Command. Now Hillary's book, It Takes an Imbecile (to beleive all that crap my husband says) was printed by the boxcar load, even though nobody was buying it. Something rotten in bookland?

It's listed as Amazon.com's #1 seller. My father wanted to buy a copy locally and found out that none of the national book chains will display the book. You can usually get it if you ask, but it will not be displayed.

My dad said the sales person at Borders books reluctantly sold him a copy kept in the back but he was questioned as if he were buying "The Terrorists Guide to Bomb Building". People take this stuff way too seriously.

I'm going to go try to buy it tonight - we'll see what happens...

It was on a big display in the local B&N last time I dropped by. Big stack of 'em on a table, even. Seems like there was one major display and several minor ones. Weird.

Same thing here. Tons of copies at the local Borders. No secret password required.

island911 · 08-23-2004, 08:35 AM

The local store here only got 3 copies sent to them. (not happy about the low count either) They kept them behind the counter.

Man, that cover pic of Kerry -- scaarr-reeey

Mule(aka carlos) so you get BANNED at Rennlist then you continue your BS here at Pelican?????? Get a effing life man , its only a matter of time till they ban your racist, bigot ass here!

Mule · 10:30 AM

Klaus, Bite me. You don't need to act like you're dick tracy for finding out my name. It's on my profile. And before you ride too far on your high horse, that imbecile adrian, who caused the issue to which you refer, has recently resigned his "super moderator" status after attacking yet another rennlist poster who dis-agreed with his leftist, anti-American politics. So let me re-interate, BITE ME!

Klaus Oberhiem · 08-23-2004, 11:16 AM

Hey Mule/carlos'/******* I just did a search on your posts and since you have started to act like a cancer here on Pelican you have ZERO car related posts!!!!!
Since 07-22-2004 every single one of your lame-ass posts have been in the OT.....
why do you come to a great AUTOMOTIVE forum and spread your political bull*****.....try contributing once in a while in a technical forum and lay off your *****ty politcal dia-tribes!

Mule/carlos/******* you need to get a life and when your hero Bush loses in Nov( hes behind in FLA/Ohio/PA) I will be here to laugh my ass off!

Sorry, Klaus. This board accepts just about anything on the OT. If you try to get him banned, the tighty righty's will accuse you of being a communist or the anti-Christ. But best of luck for trying!!!

Trust me Mule/Carlos will eventually get banned, he can't help himself, he has no self control and no respect for anyone who disagrees with him and come Nov when his boy loses he will be crying like a little baby.

It even accepts individuals that lie about their combat service, and I'm not talking about Kerry. Right Yankee?

Burnin' oil · 08-23-2004, 11:47 AM

Hey Kurt,

Are you talking to Lynn? or to Yankee911? or to Klaus? I lose track of who is who . . .
