Rating:  Summary: Terrifying and hilarious! Review: I have only one question after reading this book, how did he ever graduate from Yale?This is President Bush at his terrifyingly inept best! suppose you could say that he warned us. "I do know I'm ready for the job. And if not, that's just the way it goes." quote by George W. Bush Take heart, even if he never manages to help you put food on the table, I'm sure he'll keep his promise and help you put "food on your family" instead!
Rating:  Summary: Why is Dubya just a heartbeat from the Presidency? Review: The whining of the Right to the contrary notwithstanding, this book shows that the Supreme Court selected a man who cannot qualify as literate if one's standard for literacy exceeds reading the Washington Times or, with concentration, Our Weekly Reader. The great benefit of this book is to provide a response to silliness about how truth and decency have entered the White House as Dubya replaces Bubba. Even if Dubya were truthful about his past and his tax cut and even if he were more decent than he appeared when slandering McCain, are there so few truthful, decent women and men available that we had to settle for an ignoramus who shames Yale and Harvard by showing how affirmative action for the progeny of plutocrats worked? Yes, President Bubba was given to splitting hairs on the meaning(s) of "is." Granted, President Dubya would never do that. Because Clinton's distinction relied on a verb's tense, Bush 43 could not split that hair. He would definitely not take advantage of the questioner's stupidity in relying on the present tense because Dubya does not understand verbs' tenses. This book shows the other matters that have eluded our accidental leader in his first half-century of non-learning. Yes, some of the entries are not very revealing. Some are mere slips of the tongue. However, when so many flubs and howlers bedevil a candidate for high office even when he is as programmed as Bush was, the idiocies begin to form a pattern. I award only four stars because I agree with Mark Crispin Miller that merely ridiculing Dubya misses the larger point. Dubya's mistakes too often obscure the meanness and mendacity that underlie his candidacy and his presidency. President Bush, that is, distracts citizens by being even more of a bonehead than Vice President Quayle was or is. While Letterman and Leno and Maher are guffawing, the advisors to the First Twit are running the country. I doubt that they will do more harm than Bubba's criminals, but I see no reason to suppose that they will do less. Do you imagine that George H. W. Bush selected J. Danforth Quayle to lower the bar to such a degree that George W. Bush would seem not so bad?
Rating:  Summary: Painful Review: Dan Quayle must be loving every moment. Quayle's verbal flubs seem minor in comparison to this tome packed with Bush's rather strange commentary on the issues. Personally I found it personally painful to read, seeing the struggles our president has with simple english sentence structure. I did laugh, but then again it gave me lots of insight on what Americans really want in a president. It certainly isn't intellectualism.
Rating:  Summary: You just can't make up the stuff W says... (BUT...) Review: Well, I have been inclined to think W has Attention Deficit Disorder (a.k.a. A.D.D.) and this book only helps to confirm it. Of course that would mean the man has a learning disability rather than being stupid, but this book will do nothing to dissuade a lot of people from that conclusion. However, he is a politician and it is always fun to laugh at the mistooks W makes that cannot be corrupted before they air on the evening news. Also, there are a few choice lines contained within this book that remind me of the wit and wisdom of Yogi Berra, so be open to the idea that W says some smart things in some weird ways and do not confuse slips of the tongue with deficits of the heart. (No, I did NOT vote for the man.)
Rating:  Summary: Going to Yale is not everything Review: Here I was feeling average because I went to a state university, and I picked up this book on reference from a like-minded friend. Compared to this guy I AM a rocket scientist (and I have a learning disability in math!!) Certainly every president makes verbal gaffes, but few have done it to the extent of our comander in thief. There are times where Bush unintentionally one-ups the already superior spoofs of himself as the perpetual 4 year old. I am sure Daddy is still wondering where all of that tuiton money went, because it obviously did not expand Junior's vocabulary. To think that this man is our defense against nuclear war would be completely hillarious----if we did not actually have to worry about international enemies. Maybe it is all of the years of alcohol and coccaine abuse, but Bush's syntax is completely age-inappropriate, and I feel completely sorry for his wife Laura. If I were in her shoes, I would wonder what I was thinking when I married a man who was certifiably below my intellectual level. Buy this book for your entertainment, and then pass it on to your area Republicans to let them know what their brainless leader is really like. Even if all of the quotes are rehashed, the centralized location makes it well worth the five stars.
Rating:  Summary: A Good Laugh Review: This book just further proves how dumb our president can be. I just find it hilarious how he makes up new words, pronounces words totally wrong, and how bad his grammar is. Just look at his quotes: "I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family." On your family? Sure... "Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream." Umm, families is a plural word, so is would be are... And other statements are just strange and unusual: "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully." "It's clearly a budget. It's got a lot of numbers in it." If you feel like having a good laugh, pick this book up and read some of the famous Bushisms.
Rating:  Summary: Old News Review: Yes, I am a huge liberal 'commie', and yes, while we're at it, I am also a huge 'feminazi'. Just to set the record straight before I actually review the book...I think that Bush is a big idiot, and has no buisness in the white house. Now that that's all cleared up. The reason this book gets three stars is that the subject matter was really not all that shocking. Anyone who's been paying attention for the last year and a half (liberal/conservative/whatever) knows full well that Bush cannot string a coherent sentence together more than twice in a given 60-minute period. I guess the idea for the book was respectable enough, but I cannot honestly say that the editors did 5 stars worth of work on it. In my opinion, 4 and 5 stars are reserved for the really rare books, the ones that make you think, the ones that are origional, creative, through, inspiring, ect. Not the ones that reveal the otherwise unspoken and shocking fact that our president is a moron. Funny yes, news flash no.
Rating:  Summary: A good laugh Review: It's frightening that this man is even in the white house. It's hard not to laugh though. I'm not convinced he's not tripping the majority of the time. If you liked this book check out THE GEORGE W. BUSH COLORING BOOK which turns a few of the best bushisms into hysterical, laugh out loud illustrations.
Rating:  Summary: Is He Is Or Is He Isn't? Review: Jacob Weisberg has given a lot of time attempting to understand why Little G W walks over his words so badly. Does he have dyslexia, apraxia, or is he just plan dumb? I think they all mis the mark and I believe that I have located a real clinical reason for his Bushisms, however you will have to wait for my next book "Any Clown Can Appear Presidential" to learn what it is. What anyone who has read my last book "Co-Dependent... What a Bore and Other Clinical Observations" can tell you is that it is not the way Texans talk for as I have clearly shown Little GW is NOT a Texan. This is a fun book buy it, read it, and enjoy it. Rick Goodner, Author of "Co-Dependent... What a Bore and Other Clinical Observations"
Rating:  Summary: Libs are hilarious Review: Have you noticed the number of times that the reviews asked about whether "Bush has helped you??" The role of government is not to help us...it is to protect and assure our liberty. Bush has been called an idiot in these reviews a number of times...really the only reason they say that is that his opinions are different that theirs. Bush may not be eloquent in his speech...he may not even be that smart. But, he has true convictions...not all that I believe in mind you...but, they are convictions. I will take that over pure "intelligence" any time. He has helped me...by helping limit the government's role in my life. The small cranium ones are those that can't accept other opinions as legitimate. Oh yeah...the book IS funny. I can still laugh!
