Rating:  Summary: Forget About Whether You Like Him Or Not! Review: Whether you like George W. Bush or not, I suggest you just think of the book as a collection of Bush malapropisms and enjoy it! I personally found it rather amusing. ... Bush's misstatements will be recalled as fondly as Jerry Ford's "accidents".
Rating:  Summary: Chuckles and Smirks: On the Campaign Trail Review: This book contains some of the endearing slips of tongue, temper and imagination committed by the 43rd President of the USA.The interesting aspect of this book is that all the 100 citations have been confirmed as accurate. Now, I have to agree that whatever Bush says "life goes on" but if you, like me, like to read the funny things people say, whether it's Yogi Berra, Yogi Bear or whoever, then this is the book for you. I don't really believe that these pieces of "accidental wit and wisdom" necessarily work against Mr Bush in any serious way, in fact, I would recommend this book as much to Republicans as Democrats. In short, I am of the opinion that this book shows the other human side of Bush, and, humor, as they say, as a medicine and as a communication tool, is wholly misunderestimated by many. Regards, Martyn R Jones
Rating:  Summary: Please don't misunderrepresent me... Review: ...I am not that in to politics. But my flights took dream when I picked up this book. Of course, we all know that the abbreviated soul is wit, so I won't repontificate much longer. Let me just make it perfectly clear: If you float this review's boats, then "Bushisms" will point a thousand lights!
Rating:  Summary: I, Georgius Review: Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Caligula busied himself with murder and sexual perversion as Rome reeled in terror and disgust. Future historians will shake their heads in sad wonder over the nitwiticisms George W. Bush uttered as he tried to return a prosperous nation to the recession of his father's 8-year bungled rule, to restore the racist Confederacy, to tear down the wall separating church and state, and to squander the best of America to turn this nation into 'one theocracy under Star War weapons.' I predict this book (and its future revisions) will become a primary source for historians when they debate why mighty empires do themselves in by choosing to follow mentally defective rulers.
Rating:  Summary: Just a plain old guy Review: Wow - if you are in awe at how the American public could have elected this man as our most powerful politician, read this book! We can't all be rocket scientists, but, on the other hand, we're not running for president... This book is truly Laugh out loud - really reads like a comedy, even the introduction is hysterical! I highly recommend it
Rating:  Summary: Weisberg wins 5 stars! Review: Having been an admirer of Slate magazine's 'Complete Bushisms' page for lo these many months, how could I resist picking up this printed collection? 'Dubya' doesn't get any stars at all because the man is an imbecile, but Jacob Weisberg wins 5 big stars, the kiss, the kit and the whole kaboodle for the sheer invention of cataloging these revealing utterances of the 43rd President. A compendium of little horrors - what a droll idea! Unfortunately, the invigorating aspect of mulling over the living theatre offered in these pages stops with a thud upon realizing that the nightmare isn't vanishing after all, that it really has moved into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue; frankly, it takes one's breath away. The only known antidote to the terror engendered by reading this collection of Bushisms is to read one of Lynne Cheney's books. Having forced myself to finish her repellent "Telling the Truth" by arduously clinging to the dictum that one is forearmed by knowing the enemy, it would seem that I've undergone a conversion, as I now find myself praying that nothing happens to make Dick Cheney the 44th President...
Rating:  Summary: Why did people vote for this man? Review: If you hate George W. Bush this is the book for you. This man went to Yale and he still can speak proper English! I love this book because I had been folowing several sites of the same topic. I think anyone with a brain would laugh at this book. If you read in this public people will stare at you due to your outbursts of laughter.
Rating:  Summary: at least we'll have 4 years of comedy Review: perhaps the best thing that came out of the stolen election is the fact that americans will have a new source of comic relief. weisberg gives us all a fine introduction as to what to expect during the next four years. some of the bushisms caused me to laugh so hard that i cried. i stared at some in disbelief. and others were just typical of dubya, our dumbest president ever. if you are still furious about the election and the inauguartion (i am), pick up this book for some good old fashioned comic relief. and remember, "reading is the basics for all learning." hail to the thief!
Rating:  Summary: Excellent compilation of quotes by our lowest-iq President Review: This guy has already proven to be more stupid than Dan Quayle.A wonderful collection of moronic quotations...
Rating:  Summary: hilarious and deeply disturbing Review: I can't tell you how scary it is to know that a man whose brain works (or doesn't work) the way Dubya's does is now a heartbeat away from the nuclear button. Still, this book should provide some comic relief while you're hunkered down in the bomb shelter waiting for the end. Hail to the thief!
