Kiss and Tell Books

If I'd never known about Bwabwra Walters affairs, or that McKenzie had sex with her father, I would not be impoverished. I wish these attention seekers would just stay in the closet of family secrets. So too with the people who guard the Presidents. I think its a bit creepy. They aren't too kind to Jimmy Carter, but at least the revelations sound like what we all guessed in Ronald Kessler’s book In the President’s Secret Service: Behind the Scenes with Agents in the Line of Fire and the Presidents they Protect. My other two examples, not.
    Carter is portrayed as a phony according to the agents interviewed by Kessler. Carter would put on a show for the public to convey himself as a common man, but it was never anymore than an act. For instance, we are told that when Carter would make a point of carrying his own luggage in front of the press, he was really carrying empty bags. He expected others to carry his real luggage. Unfriendly, Carter “didn’t want the police officers and agents looking at him or speaking to him when he went to the [Oval] office,” explained an assistant White House usher. “The only time I saw a smile on Carter’s face was when the cameras were going,” one former agent told Kessler. After his presidency, Kessler reports that when Carter would stay at a townhouse maintained for former presidents in D.C., he would take down pictures of other presidents and put up more pictures of himself! “The Carters were the biggest liars in the world,” one agent told Kessler of the Carter era. Carter, not surprisingly, denied to Kessler through a lawyer many of the allegations in the book. from Hot Air
Sigh. If he'd just kept building houses instead of trying to have a 2nd and 3rd term while others were in office, he probably could have recovered from his record and been a well-loved ex.

There's so much I don't need to know - books seem to be opinions, a rewrite of history in many instances. Babwah, I'd like to know less about and the McKenzie's - ditto. And the balloon boy's famiy. Argh. Good post.

I think we all knew already that Carter is a total lying phony but it's nice to have proof.

"Proof"? I take it that you're a supporter of the low-bar theory.

The thing about McKenzie's book, though, is that it might encourage other victims of incest to speak out and stop the abuse.

This woman has had so many reveals that I no longer believe anything she says. She seems hungry for the spot light, and after all the other things she's confessed to this seems like the only thing left.
