You people should look on the bright side of things. The implication that bush has read 140 pages of anything that wasn't the bible should make us ecstatic. Understanding can come later, of course. But it's an awesome first step, right?

actually, I think "The Pet Goat" was his first foray into non-scriptural literature. and something tells me he put more thought into that reading than he did the NIE report, probably because the vocabulary was more to his reading comprehension level.
