Bush Uses State Of The Union Address to Pitch New Book
| Pre-orders of new children's book Steevie: A Courageous President & the enemies of freedom sluggish on Amazon.com. January 25, 2007 Bite! News staff. WASHINGTON - President Bush has laid the seeds for his post-presidential literary career, using the State of the Union speech to boost slow pre-sales of his first book. "Madam Speaker, Vice President Cheney, members of Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens: The rite of custom brings us together at a defining hour, when decisions are hard and courage is needed," the President began. "Much like the fictional President Steevie, who also faces an epic battle against the forces of tyranny, and indeed...the enemies of freedom." Advance orders of Steevie: A Courageous President & the enemies of freedom have not met expectations, according to publishing industry sources. Although not scheduled for release until May, 2007, an advance copy has been secured by Bite! News.  The 20-page bedtime story deals with the fictional President Steevie, a former governor of New Mexico who is elected to the presidency only to find himself leading the nation in a war on terror. Loosely based on President Bush himself, the title character is also the son of a former president.Ironically, Steevie's last name is also Bush. Here's an excerpt from Steevie: A Courageous President & the enemies of freedom:
A literary agent familiar with the book has dismissed predictions of it being a bestseller. "It's full of spelling and grammatical errors for one," she said on condition of anonymity. "He makes the classic your/you're mistake more than 10 times. I counted the word 'tyranny' 72 times, and 'freedom' 59 times. "But it should be a hit with Republican children everywhere," she added. |
