Reading is dangerous. It loses elections.
As a follow-up on my post about The Myths of Reading Aloud, I draw your attention to one explanation Dubya gave for why the Republicans lost so badly on Tuesday (as reported by Dana Milbank in the Washington Post):
President Bush had many explanations for what he called the “thumping” his party took on Tuesday, but the most creative was the notion that his chief strategist, Karl Rove, had spent too much time reading books.
“I obviously was working harder on the campaign than he was,” the president said at yesterday’s East Room news conference. The reporters laughed. The Architect, who had challenged Bush to a reading contest, wore a sheepish grin and stared at his lap.
