Bushworld

3949. Bushworld: Enter At Your Own Risk, by Maureen Dowd (read 30 Oct 2004) This is a compilation of her columns re Bush over the years, with them not being tied together except by events. Some of the columns are really insightful, and read well even months and years after they were written. She is right about 90% of the time, and has Bush and Cheney pegged very well.

Good, but very repetitive. For those uninformed... HW Bush was smart but had very thin skin, especially when called a "wimp". W Bush wasn't smart and was easily led by his father and advisers (Rummy, Cheney, Rice et. al.) especially when it came to going after Saddam and "finishing the job". Perle and Wolfowicz were pure evil, the Saudis were involved up to their necks, and Colin Powell is a pretty good guy. That's basically it, told here in about a hundred reprinted New York Times articles. Read any ten at random and you've got the idea. Sad that so few people, through incompetence, greed and just plain wickedness could cause so much damage to so many people.

A collection of Ms. Dowd's columns, it functions best as an occasional read - a bathroom book, perhaps - though recent events have largely taken the humor out of book.

An enchanting look at just how stupid, incompetent, greedy and just plain stupid Bush, Cheney and the rest of the gang that couldn't shoot straight really were.

If you like to laugh at Bush this is it, by a hard cord Bush basher

Hillarious! Even more so beacause it's all true! One has to wonder how a man like this can ever have ended up as the leader of a country!!!! A must read!!!
