White House: Reading is good
The White House is opting for sort of a generic response to the commercial success of “Fiasco: The American Military Adventure in Iraq.” The book by Washington Post reporter Thomas E. Ricks offers a critical look at the handling of the war.
“A lot of people are reading Tim Russert’s book, too,” White House spokesman Tony Snow said today. “It’s nice that people are reading.”
Earlier in the week, Deputy Press Secretary Dana Perino also slalomed around a question noting that many people are reading Ricks’ book.
“Am I concerned that American people are reading books? Absolutely not,” she said.
