Ar mo bhealach go Meirice\u00e1 a bh\u00ed m\u00e9, i L\u00fanasa na bliana seo caite, nuair a thug m\u00e9 faoi deara, agus m\u00e9 ag aerfort \u00c1tha Cliath, nach raibh a dhath le l\u00e9amh agam ar bord an eitle\u00e1in. Anois, n\u00edlim ag r\u00e1 anseo, go l\u00e9im an t-uaf\u00e1s ar fad, agus m\u00e9 craptha, dingthe, leath-scanraithe, i mo ch\u00fang-shu\u00edoch\u00e1n ar eitle\u00e1n, ach ag an am gc\u00e9anna, n\u00edor mhaith liom bheith ar bord, gan leabhar de chine\u00e1l eicint, a bheith faoi mo l\u00e1imh agam, ar eagla go mbuailfeadh fonn l\u00e9itheoireachta m\u00e9, agus m\u00e9 cupla m\u00edle os cionn na tal\u00fan, n\u00f3 n\u00ed bheadh s\u00e9 r\u00f3-aisi\u00fail, ag an bpointe sin, dul ag cuardach leabhair, tharla nach mb\u00edonn siopa leabhar, de chine\u00e1l ar bith, le f\u00e1il ar thaobh shr\u00e1ideanna an aeir. Bhuel, le sc\u00e9al gairid a dh\u00e9anamh de, agus \u00f3 tharla nach raibh an oiread sin ama le sp\u00e1r\u00e1il agam i mbun an ghn\u00f3, phioc m\u00e9 suas an leabhar thuasluaite, \u201cStupid White Men\u201d le Michael Moore, n\u00f3 cheap me, go nd\u00e9anfadh s\u00e9 c\u00fais, an babhta sin. Thug m\u00e9 faoi deara freisin, \u00f3n m\u00e9id a bh\u00ed ma\u00edte acu ar an gcl\u00fadach, go raibh s\u00e9 roghnaithe mar Leabhar na Bliana ag British Book Awards, <\/strong>cib\u00e9 ciall at\u00e1 le baint ag duine as an m\u00e9id sin? agus chomh maith le sin, bh\u00e9ic f\u00f3gra beag eile, ar choirne\u00e9l an chl\u00fadaigh cheanna sin, The Number 1 Bestseller. <\/strong>Agus murar leor sin do dhuine ar bith, cuireadh in i\u00fal dom freisin, gurbh \u00e9 tuairim Time Out<\/strong> go raibh s\u00e9…\u201dFurious and funny. A great book\u201d<\/strong><\/p>

Caithfidh go raibh m\u00e9 s\u00e1sta leis an moladh sin ar chl\u00fadach an leabhair, n\u00f3 rinne m\u00e9 \u00e9 a cheannacht, ar an toirt, gan aird d\u00e1 laghad a thabhairt ar a raibh le r\u00e1 ag \u00e1r seanfhocal fh\u00e9in, i gc\u00e1s d\u00e1 leith\u00e9id, s\u00e9 sin, gan leabhar a cheannacht riamh ar a chl\u00fadach! Thug m\u00e9 mo \u20ac11.95 d\u00f3ibh ar an sladmhargadh seo, agus chun bealaigh liom, agus an r\u00ed-leabhar sin, go m\u00f3rtasach, faoi m\u2019ascaill agam.<\/p>

Rinne m\u00e9 a raibh le d\u00e9anamh agam roimh dhul ar bord dom, agus ansin, ghlac m\u00e9 m\u2019\u00e1it sa scuaine a bh\u00ed ag fanacht le dul ar bord Eitilt EI 145, Eitilt de chuid Aer Lingus s\u2019againne. Tuigeadh d\u00fainn nach mbeadh orainn fanacht r\u00f3-fhada, ach n\u00ed mar a sh\u00edltear a bh\u00edtear, go minic, n\u00f3 in \u00e1it dhul ar eite ag a 11.45 r.n. n\u00edor \u00e9irigh linn \u00e9ir\u00ed den talamh go dti a tr\u00ed a chlog san iarn\u00f3in! N\u00edor ins\u00edodh tada dh\u00fainn faoin mhoill sin go dt\u00ed 2.30 i.n. agus m\u00edn\u00edodh d\u00fainn ansin, gurbh \u00e9 an ceo bradach ba ch\u00fais leis an triobl\u00f3id ar fad, agus d\u00e9anta na f\u00edrinne, d\u2019fh\u00e9adfadh c\u00farsa\u00ed a bheith i bhfad n\u00edos measa, n\u00f3 ba \u00e9 \u00e1r n-eitiltne an eitilt deiridh a chuaigh ar eite an tr\u00e1thn\u00f3na beannaithe sin. Ach, is \u00e9 at\u00e1 i gceist agam anseo, n\u00f3 go raibh mo sh\u00e1ith ama agam, le mant maith m\u00f3r a bhaint as Stupid White Men, <\/strong>sula ndeachaigh muid ar eite, an tr\u00e1thn\u00f3na sin.<\/p>

N\u00ed call dom a r\u00e1, gur leabhar an-neamhghn\u00e1ch \u00e9 an leabhar c\u00e9anna seo, agus \u00f3n aithne at\u00e1 faighte againn ar Mheirice\u00e1naigh, n\u00ed bheife\u00e1 ag s\u00fail go scr\u00edobhfadh Meirice\u00e1nach ar bith leabhar chomh frithMheirice\u00e1nach<\/strong> leis an leabhar seo. N\u00ed h\u00e9 sin amh\u00e1in \u00e9, ach scr\u00edobhadh an leabhar seo sna m\u00edonna roimh 11\/ 9\/ \u201901, agus bh\u00ed 50,000 c\u00f3ip den ch\u00e9ad eagr\u00e1n cl\u00f3ite agus r\u00e9idh le dul ar an margadh, tr\u00e1thn\u00f3na an 10 Me\u00e1n F\u00f3mhair, 2001, ach mar adeir an t-\u00fadar ina R\u00e9amhr\u00e1……<\/p>

\u201cI wrote Stupid White Men in the months preceding September 11, 2001. The first 50,000 copies of it came off the presses on the evening of September 10. Needless to say, those books were not shipped out to bookstores across the nation on the following day as had been scheduled.\u201d<\/p>

Theastaigh \u00f3n \u00fadar moill cupla seachtain a chur ar dh\u00e1ileadh an leabhair. Thoiligh na foilsitheoir\u00ed chuige sin, agus d\u00faradar leis go dtiocfadh siad ar ais chuige, ar ball. Bhuel, d\u2019imigh na seachtain\u00ed, agus n\u00edor chuala s\u00e9 faic \u00f3 na foilsitheoir\u00ed, agus nuair a chuir s\u00e9 scairt orthu, ag fiafra\u00ed cathain a chuirf\u00ed an 50,000 c\u00f3ip \u00fad den leabhar ar d\u00edol sna siopa\u00ed? <\/p>

Ba \u00e9 freagra a fuair s\u00e9, ar ball, n\u00f3 nach bhf\u00e9adfaid\u00eds an leabhar a chur ar an margadh faoi mar a bh\u00ed s\u00e9 scr\u00edofa, toisc go raibh aer\u00e1id pholait\u00edochta na t\u00edre athraithe \u00f3 cuireadh cl\u00f3 air, ach <\/p>

1.<\/span>d\u00e1 mbeadh s\u00e9 s\u00e1sta a leath a athscr\u00edobh,<\/strong><\/div><\/div>
2.<\/span> tagairt\u00ed g\u00e9ara don Uachtar\u00e1n Bush a fh\u00e1g\u00e1il ar l\u00e1r, <\/strong><\/div><\/div>

5.<\/span>agus, chomh maith le sin, d\u00e1 bhf\u00e1gfadh s\u00e9 cupla caibidil ar l\u00e1r,<\/strong><\/div><\/div>
6.<\/span> Ansin, bheadh siad s\u00e1sta a leabhar a chur ar an margadh.<\/strong>  <\/div><\/div><\/div>

N\u00ed call dom a r\u00e1 nach raibh an t-\u00fadar s\u00e1sta a leith\u00e9id a dh\u00e9anamh d\u00f3ibh, agus f\u00e9ach mar a chuir s\u00e9 sin in i\u00fal d\u00f3ibh, ina fhreagra chucu….<\/p>

\u201cI am not going to change 50 percent of even one word of this book. I can\u2019t believe what you are telling me. You already accepted this book and printed it! Now you are afraid \u2013 or worse, you are trying to censor me to conform to the corporation\u2019s political philosophy…..<\/p>

N\u00ed g\u00e1 a r\u00e1, nach raibh na foilsitheoir\u00ed, HarperCollins le Mr Rupert Murdoch, s\u00e1sta g\u00e9illeadh puinn don reibili\u00fanach<\/strong> seo, Michael Moore,<\/p>

\u201cThings rested so\u201d…ar feadh tamaill, agus ansin, thug an t-\u00fadar caint uaidh, ar an gc\u00e9ad la de Mh\u00ed na Nollag, 2001, \u00e1it eicint….off the New Jersey Turnpike<\/strong>, i seomra ina raibh thart ar ch\u00e9ad duine. Mh\u00ednigh s\u00e9 don lucht eisteachta, nach raibh fonn air, an \u00f3r\u00e1id a bh\u00ed ullamh aige, a thabhairt d\u00f3ibh, agus tugadh cead d\u00f3 a sc\u00e9al fh\u00e9in, faoina leabhar, Stupid White Men<\/strong>, a insint d\u00f3ibh. Bh\u00ed go maith. Chuaigh s\u00e9 i gcionn go m\u00f3r ar a lucht \u00e9isteachta, agus tharla go raibh leabharlanna\u00ed mn\u00e1 ar an bhf\u00f3d, agus shocraigh sise an sc\u00e9al a chur ar an idirl\u00edon d\u00e1 comhleabharlannaithe. Bh\u00ed toradh c\u00e9atach ar a sc\u00e9al, agus ba ghearr gur thosaigh leabharlannaiathe na t\u00edre ag scr\u00edobh chuig na foilsitheoir\u00ed, ag \u00e1iteamh orhtu, go gcuirf\u00ed leabhar Moore ar d\u00edol l\u00e1ithreach. Le sc\u00e9al gairid a dh\u00e9anamh de, shocraigh siad ar an 50,000 c\u00f3ip \u00fad a chur ar an margadh, ach d\u00fairt siad nach nd\u00e9anfa\u00ed \u00e9 a phoibli\u00fa, sna me\u00e1in chumars\u00e1ide. Ach d\u00e1 ainneoin sin, chuaigh an t-\u00fadar fh\u00e9in ar an idirl\u00edon, lena sc\u00e9al a chur i l\u00e1thair an phobail, agus ba \u00e9 toradh a bh\u00ed air sin, n\u00f3 gur d\u00edoladh an 50,000 c\u00f3ip sin, taobh istigh de chupla uair a chloig. Faoin ch\u00faigi\u00fa l\u00e1 ina dhiaidh sin, bh\u00ed an leabhar ina nao\u00fa chl\u00f3bhualadh, agus \u00e9 ar bharr liosta\u00ed na leabhar m\u00f3r-r\u00e1chairte, ar nuacht\u00e1in ghradam\u00fala Mheirice\u00e1. Sea, agus d\u2019\u00e9irigh leis sin a dh\u00e9anamh, gan aon chabhair \u00f3 na Foilsitheoir\u00ed, n\u00f3 \u00f3 na me\u00e1in, fr\u00ed ch\u00e9ile. Ansin tharla rud ait. Thosaigh an leabhar ag baint amach an ch\u00e9ad \u00e1it ar liosta\u00ed na leabhar m\u00f3r-r\u00e1chairte sa Bhreatain. Conas a tharla sin, an ea? Bhuel, bh\u00edothas ag ceannacht na leabhar i Meirice\u00e1, ar phraghas an-ard. Le freastal ar an tr\u00e1 sin, chuir na Foilsitheoir\u00ed eagr\u00e1n speisialta ar f\u00e1il don Bhreatain agus d\u2019\u00c9irinn, agus \u00e9 sin daor go maith freisin. <\/p>

Ar ball, th\u00e1inig \u201cPenguin\u201d<\/strong> i gcabhair ar an \u00fadar, agus shocraigh siadsan, ar eagr\u00e1n Penguin<\/strong> den leabhar a chur ar an maragadh, sa Bhreatain agus in \u00c9irinn d\u00f3….<\/p>

Well I am now free of the Murdoch machine \u2013 and to my aid have come the good people at Penguin Books in the UK with their offer to publish the foreign paperback edition of this book. Their letter to me was one of the most generous and powerful shows of commitment to my work that I have ever seen and I am very grateful for their support.<\/p>

Bhuel, b\u2019in mar a tharla go raibh an t-eagr\u00e1n Penguin seo den leabhar le ceannacht agamsa, i siopa leabhar an Aerfoirt, i mBaile \u00c1tha Cliath, an mhaidin sin, an t-ocht\u00fa l\u00e1 de L\u00fanasa 2003, agus sin an f\u00e1th gur cheap m\u00e9, gurbh fhi\u00fa dhom sc\u00e9al an leaahar fh\u00e9in a insint daoibh anseo, n\u00f3 ar bhealach, t\u00e1 an sc\u00e9al sin chomh sp\u00e9isi\u00fail leis an sc\u00e9al at\u00e1 \u00e1 insint sa leabhar fh\u00e9in. Ach sin r\u00e1ite, caithfidh m\u00e9 a r\u00e1, gur bhain m\u00e9 an-phl\u00e9isi\u00far as an leabhar c\u00e9anna sin, n\u00f3 l\u00e9ir\u00edonn an t-\u00fadar seo, de shliocht Gael, l\u00e9ir\u00edonn s\u00e9 misneach agus cr\u00f3gacht, sa tsl\u00ed a ionsa\u00edonn s\u00e9 George W. fh\u00e9in, agus Rialtas agus \u00dadar\u00e1is na St\u00e1t Aontaithe, gan fiacail a chur ina bhfuil le r\u00e1 aige!<\/p>

Mar sin, m\u00e1 theasta\u00edonn uaitse, an sc\u00e9al seo, \u00f3 \u00fadar, at\u00e1, mar adeir an…blurb…<\/p>

Stupid White Men tells you everything you need to know about how the great and the good screw us over. It reveals \u2013 among other things \u2013 how \u2018President\u2019 Bush stole an election, aided only by his brother, cousin, his dad\u2019s cronies, electoral fraud and tame judges; how the rich stay rich while forcing the rest of us to live in economic fear, and how politicians have wh**ed themselves to big business…..<\/p>

A hilarious must-read for anyone who wants to know what the con is and how \u2018they\u2019 get away with it….<\/p>

Agus rud is ionta\u00ed f\u00f3s, n\u00f3 go bhfuil an leabhar seo ag baint \u00e1ite amach f\u00f3s, ar liosta\u00ed na leabhar m\u00f3r-r\u00e1chairte, abhus is thall.<\/p>

L\u00e9igh \u00e9, agus faigh amach duit fh\u00e9in conas a d\u2019\u00e9irigh leis an \u00fadar seo an l\u00e1mh in uachtar a fh\u00e1il ar Fhoilsitheoir\u00ed, ar Rialtas, agus ar \u00dadar\u00e1is, n\u00ed hamh\u00e1in thall, ach abhus, freisin.<\/p>
