As to the absurd notion that George W. Bush has read several hundred books since 2005, I can't offer much beyond what Steven Benen and Matt Stoler have already provided. In the very least, this is an elaborate put-on by Rove; to be slightly less charitable, his insistence that Bush devoted time this year to reading Jacobo Timerman's Prisoner Without a Name -- a book about torture, among other familiar ills -- is sickening.
Or perhaps it's just as well. Bush "reads" books in the same sense that his government "adheres" to the Geneva Conventions.
