Nope. He meant Battlefield Earth. Not one of his finer moments.

I'm naive here; I thought Battlefied Earth was that stupid movie starring John Travolta. What does that have to do with literature?

Mind you, I enjoy the science fiction genre, but I'm unfamiliar with that work or author.

The movie was based on a book:

http://www.amazon.com/Battlefield-Ea...0578594&sr=8-2

The author is L. Ron Hubbard.

No, I have not read it.

Even if Battlestar Galactica was a coloring book it would not be worse than Battlefield Earth.

LOL!!! This is so true. All kidding aside nothing about Mitt has given me as much pause as the fact that, of all the thousands of books out there, he picked Hubbard's book. It is such a bad choice on so many levels. It is truly hard to fathom what he was thinking.

Prince Harry was pulled from his squadron before they departed for war, for the same reason.

that book was written by Scientologists. He should contact Tom Cruise and John Travolta for campaign checks.
