This book is both incredibly funny yet extremely saddening and scary. The statements are so absurd that you have to laugh yet the reality that this man is President of the United States and the most powerful person in the world is grounds for being afraid. I read through it in one sitting, as I continued to be astonished at the appearance of ignorance. As journalist Eugene Robinson said when discussing the charges that Senator Barack Obama is elitist. "I have no problem with having a smart person be President, we tried having an average guy and that didn't work very well." From the contents of this book, average looks like praise.

All I can say is if you are a follower of "W" and his policies, don't read this book. It portrays Bush is somewhat stupid and, certainly, semi-literate.

This book could not have been dreamed up as a work of fiction unless...well, it just couldn't have been! I have owned this book for quite a while, and pull it out whenever I need a reality check on what is happening in Washington DC. The quotes are amazing, and what is even more amazing is that someone who speaks so poorly could have ever been elected as President of the US.
There may also be a little bit of sad commentary here, as this reflects on the Bush Family tradition of not reading. It also is somewhat of a commentary on the "excellent schools" that Bush went to. How could they let someone with such poor grammar graduate?
Need a laugh...get this book...unless your a diehard W supporter!

"Got to be a joker, he just do what he please..." -- Beatles from "Come Together."
This book makes me think of the classic, "Everybody Plays the Fool" because "there's no exception to the rule." The line "don't you think the joker laughs at you" from the Beatles' 1967 classic, "I Am the Walrus" is also startlingly a propos. Dumbya is a genuine fool.
This trenchant, very funny book underscores just how subliterate, inarticulate and lacking in intelligence Dumbya really is. While Dumbya's malapropisms are funny, it is also scary to think of somebody of such limited ability as president. Dumbya's administration is of the emperor's new clothing genre and I am glad to see more people coming out and publicly admitting that the emperor is naked.
Dumbya has proven yet again his overall incompetence by causing a federal deficit and his gross bungling the most senseless, needless and useless war involving America. Although much of this book covers 2000, it heralds what is yet to come from the worst president in history. For those who voted for him, I apologize if any offense was taken as none was meant. I do think that the joke ended up on everybody as we have been saddled with this incompetent person since the bungled election of 2000. Oh, and the election mess in Florida? No surprise there - Dumbya's brother Jeb's political state! Haven't they heard of the Voters' Rights Act of 1965? Apparently not, as many people were denied acess to voting in the 2000 election.
There are many, myself included who feel the 2000 election was stolen. Had the fouled up election not taken place, we would not have ended up with this sad excuse of a president. I am very glad I didn't vote for him either time. Still, if you want some comic relief during these tense times, this book is for you. It is trenchant, cleverly written and well worth the read.
