Books on Bush
At his press conference last week, George W. Bush, with a smile on his face, noted that there have been so many books written on his administration that it probably qualifies as some kind of world record. He almost seemed proud of this fact - which leads me to conclude that he has not read even one of the books in question, nor has he been advised as to their content. If he had, it's a fairly safe bet that he wouldn't have been smiling! This really doesn't surprise you, does it? He admittedly doesn't read any of the scores of newspapers that are available to him. With the exception of "The Very Busy Caterpillar", why should we expect him to do something as intellectually taxing as reading a book or two every once in a while?If there is anyone reading this with any connection to the First Fool or the White House staff, I have here a suggested reading list of twenty-six excellent books. If you would kindly e-mail it to them, It would be much appreciated. They are all finely written and are not listed in any particular order of chronology or importance:
"Shrub: The Short, Happy Political Life of George W. Bush" by Molly Ivins and Lou DuBois
"Bushwhacked: Life in George W. Bush's America" by Molly Ivins and Lou BuBois (Molly and Lou mention in the intro that had we all read their previous book on Bush, which was written before the 2000 election, they wouldn't have had to write this one!
"The Lies of George W. Bush" by David Corn

Those are but twenty-six of the literally scores of books that have to date been written about the most dangerously extremist administration in American history. Seek out any or all of them. It's well worth the time and effort.
Happy reading, kids!

Hey there, crimestoppers!
If anyone out there care to add their own favorite books on this subject, please do so! You can't get too much info on these deplorable people, can you?
Peace!

Thanks for the list. I've printed it out and am starting with James Carville's "Had Enough?"
Also thanks for your recent tip-off about Sue Kelly's voting record in support of the war. I think I'm going to write her and tell her why I'm not voting republican this time after doing so all my life!
Thanks, Tom.
I was hoping these past six years were just a very bad dream, but now you tell me someone has written books about them?
Yesterday I saw another gift from Bush to the Iraqis. All the depleted uranium lying around will poison the land, air and water for 4 BILLION YEARS!!! As a result,childhood Luekemia is is exploding.
PS Can it contaminate Bush's oil?
I am sure that Bush has not read a single one of these and like the story of the emperor's new clothes none of his flunkies would tell him that the books are not flattering. Of course, his flunkies have probably not read them either. Now if it were a book about a goat, that is probably about the extent of his reading level.
Hi Tom,
Here is a link to a site that gives much info about the iraq war, direct from Iraq.
So far this month, 71 soldiers have now joined their forebears.
The large explosion was an ammunition dump.
The war is over, America lost. Bush and his masters are avoiding the truth.

Was anyone as disbelieving as I, when Bush claimed that he'd read 60 books, so far, this year? He also said his reading tastes are "eck-a lectic". One of my father's comments on hearing this (and the only one that can be repeated in polite society), was: "60 books?!? He hasn't read 60 books in his life."
Mary Emanuelson
60 BOOKS???
Ah, heck! He's never even watched 60 Minutes!
Of this, I have no doubt!

Hey, don't forget all those "XXXXX for DUMMIES" books. They get a whole section at Barnes and Noble.
