I’ve seen a number of people have gotten Chronicles of Dubya by now, and I’d like to hear what you think of it since we worked hard on the book. Did you like the Glenn Reynold’s quote on the back? Google it; it’s real.
Also, when you’re done reading, why don’t you write a nice Amazon.com review. If you wrote a book, I’d write a review for you.
harumph, mine didn’t come today. hopefully tomorrow.
Frank,
I did write a book, in 2002. I never saw your review on amazon! NEVER!
When we get our books they’ll talk back?
Sweet!
Book not come yet…Gunga grumpy. Meetings all day with nothing to smack dumb liberals with…Gunga VERY grumpy. Gunga not mention that in Amazon review.
How did you send the book? Pony Express? It left Florida like a week ago and it just made it to MD. That’s an overshoot as I’m in VA.
I figure you haven’t really written a book. Trying to get it’ll be like trying to get a rebate. I’ll keep trying to get it and you’ll keep saying it’s on the way and then another problem will come up and I’ll finally just give it up.
I notice that nobody has received it yet. Hmmm, my theory is looking pretty good.
Done and done. Review that is. And I received MY book yesterday in Minnesota via USPS Media Mail.
So I explain FrankJ’s nefarious plan and he almost immediately sends in a sock puppet to claim that he receieved his book. At least use a better alias than PJ, I mean, who wouldathunkit, FrankJ uses his mentor’s first initials.
PJ O’Rourke would be pretty upset at your taking his name…errrr, initials, in vain.
I’m onto you FrankJ! (shakes fist impotently)
I’m getting ready to go Rumsfeld on Veeshir for questioning my identity….
P.J. – You wish! Just sayin’…
Gunga just jealous me got my book faster than him.
USPS, Says its been delivered.
Course they also always say they are raising postage rates to improve service too.
Oh, so now SpaceMonkey is getting in on it?
I see it all so clearly now, you’re like all those doctors. Of course they said I was paranoid, they were out to get me!!
Frank, You made Moonbunny SO happy, she loved the evil theiving monkey drawing and was already ROFL just from reading the quotes and comments on the back. She’s a big fan of SarahK’s comment “You SHUT UP!” uses that one on her little sister all the time.
Anyway she took it to school to read during SOCIAL STUDIES as her teacher is a flaming retard liberal (bluestate public school, go figure) and won’t get it.
Myself, I appreciate your book because even though it’s meant to be funny, she’s getting a good dose of knowledge about all the people who were in government during Bush’s tenure and what was really going on during this time. She’ll remember it because it was funny. When the US goes into a bloody coup, I can bet she’ll be on the frontlines with the conservative freedom fighters.
Thanks to SarahK for packing her book with love. HOORAY!!!
P.J. – Gunga not jealous…Gunga not know what mean jealous. Gunga know Rumsfeld…P.J. no Rumsfeld…where book? Why me laugh?
Gunga,
Yours should get there soon; I remember signing it.
I’ll order mine after the holidays. It’s the least I can do after being a pest for almost a year. Yes, I’m late as always, I’ll miss out on all the inside jokes.
I already have an idea for your second book:
“An Army of Franks; How the Internet has empowered a hoard of imbeciles who don’t know when to shut up.”
I posted a review on Amazon.com, and I haven’t even read the book yet. I hope you’re all doing your part.

If you read In My Worlds, you kinda have an idea what it’s like.
Nice review, Steve. I almost rusted as I read it.
Just got my copies of the book! Can’t wait until the kids go to bed tonight so I can start reading. And they came in a nice box I can reuse! Sweet. Love the little note & self-portrait from Sarah K. It made me smile.
I wrote a review over at barnesandnoble.com, though it says it might not be printed for 3 days. Here’s what I wrote, in the case they shockingly decide it doesn’t follow their quaint rules (like the Geneva COnvention, or something):
Tommy, December 13, 2006, 5 – Outstanding
An Antidote for Revisionist Present-ry
Frank J., author of previous bestsellers such as ‘Punching Liberals in Their Dumb Monkey Faces: 101 Justified Uses of Violence’, and ‘Everyone’s Entitled to My Arrogant Opinion’ delivers another gem with this classic history/biography of President George W. Bush. Mr. Fleming turns a novelist’s eye to the inner-workings of the Bush Administration and its complex personalities, from the Rumsfeld Strangler, the Conniving Condi, and the Mysterious Karl Rove, as well as its enemies like Osama Bin Laden and Ted Kennedy. Funnier than Bob Woodward, and more accurate than Jon Stewart, this book is a must read, plus its thick enough to defend yourself against Scary Evil Monkeys trying to eat your eyeballs and turn them into poo. That is value you can’t put a price on people!
Also recommended: Cholesterol and Ninjas: The Silent Killers, If You Don’t Buy This Book, The Terrorists Will Have Won, The Population Bomb: A Brief History of the Palestinians, Diplomacy is a Failure of War
(you’ll note the Also Recommended section includes titles you pimped in your editorials, though I made the ones in the body up myself)
waah! just checked the tracking information and it says it left their Dallas location today, so I probably won’t get it until tomorrow at the earliest 🙁

Sorry Frank, Amazon won’t let me say that I think your book is more educational than the blue-state public school my 14 year old attends, because I’m not gonna buy anything from AMAZON…EVER!!!
You’ll just have to take my word from here I guess.
Amazon still hasn’t posted my review. Perhaps my mention of the “Rumsfeld Strangler” is not considered appropriate…
Sweeeeeet!
Got both copies today. I even got a bonus drawing of the Rumsfeld Strangler in my signed copy!
Thank you, FrankJ.
aha. i knew your name was familiar, master shake.
I bought your book. Hopefully you didn’t sign it to Hebert, but to that other guy I asked you to sign it to. Now you know where Hebert lives. That is scary. Good thing it’s controlled access.
Is it too late to get a signed copy??
Got it! Thank you Frank J. for the awesome book and personalized autograph. I wish I had had this book to throw at the dumb monkey face of my politics professor (who had the gall to call himself “conservative”) earlier this semester. I’ll get him when I take Texas Politics…
And thank you SarahK for making it possible for me to get the autograph personalized after I stupidly missed the option on Paypal. I won’t throw away your nice packaging!
