ABC's The Note, of September 13th, takes the time to list some of the highlights of Kitty Kelley's newest work of historical fiction. They are pasted here for your amusement:

p. 263: 43 gets really mad at someone at Yale who throws a football at him, and he throws it back REALLY hard.

p. 302: Marylouise Oates (a/k/a Mrs. Bob Shrum) is quoted as saying: "The Ellis family and the Bush family have had serious problems with booze. I remember when John Ellis called to say he couldn't come to my wedding because he was going to Hazelden. He was taking Antabuse and still drinking then … I'll bet George W. went to Hazelden, too, but I can't prove it. 448: A Howard Fineman quote!!!

p. 452: Claims that 41 lied about his war record to make it seem more impressive for political use (How Kerry-like!!)

p. 525: Barbara Bush cancels an interview with Deborah Orin.

p. 542: The character of Karl Rove is introduced.

p. 550:-1 The notion is floated that 43 is protected during his runs for public office from personal allegations by a "Rent-a-Spooks" operation resulting from his father's days as head of the CIA. (Note Note: we aren't kidding.)


p. 624: Ann Compton and the words "went down the bunny hole" appear for the first and last time in the book. (And Compton is misquoted; she actually said "rabbit.")
