    "Courage and Consequence" is on my "should I or shouldn't I?" list. I don't want to be pissed off, but I would like to read it. Has anyone here read it?

    No & why would anyone want to read his self-serving lies? (we heard enough of his lies for 8 years...& for free!) As far as I'm concerned, He should just "Tell it to the judge!"

    it's like $16. If you want to know what he thinks, why not? Even if you disagree it will either broaden your perspective or let you know what the bad guys are thinking.

    Rove was/is one of the most influential people on planet earth so far this century. No amount of insults can change that.



    No. I didn't read or buy his book and I doubt that I will.

    I wasn't going to buy it, yet. I was going to get a library copy. If it was decent I would probably buy it down the road. I love political biographies, heck I like political books period. I have several from both sides of the aisle. Rove is such a polarizing character and I didn't agree with much that the last adminstration did, which is where my concern comes from. I recently read a review of the book. But it was by Begala so I'm not sure how nonpartisan it could be.



    If anyone is interested:
