THIS WAS THE WORST FUCKING BOOK EVER
Format: Hardcover
The author of this book is a partisan hack of the worst order, WHO BY THE WAY, BETRAYS HIS BEST FRIENDS.
I mean, really, this book is a total pile of bullshit, about 5'6" tall, which also totally describes the author.
Pancetta, or whatever his dago name is, complains that the President of the United States “lost his way.” Huh? Maybe somebody should show him the fucking way to Arlington National Cemetery, in the back of a caisson with backwards boots in the horse’s stirrups? How about that? Or he could learn the way to Fort Jesus Fucking Leavenworth’s prison for sharing classified information! Maybe he’d like somebody to find him a way home from Chelsea Manning’s cell.
In a total genius of a non sequitur (that's right; I went all Latin on his ass), Prince-Edna says some stupid shit about we should have armed the goddam Syrian rebels two years ago. Who the shit do you think we are trying to kill now, Lee? Who. The shit. Are. We. Trying to kill now?? The Vatican Swiss Guard? Yeah, that’s right. We’re fighting the fucking pope’s codpiece-wearing Swiss dudes. Oh, wait. Nope! The Syrian fucking rebels!
