Book Reviews of The I Hate George W. Bush Reader: Why Dubya Is Wrong About Absolutely Everything
Book Review: A Mixed Bag on Bush
Summary: 3 Stars
The strength of this book is its quotes. Some humorous,some seriously arrogant,and some poignant.
There was a chapter on Ari Fleischer and his evasive tactics that served Bush II so well during press conferences.
One of the Republican whoppers that was dispelled was the fictional "Charley the janitor", an invention of Dick Armey, lately known as the wizard behind the curtain of the Tea Party.
There was another interesting piece on the Republican press and how they spin tax cuts for the wealthy to the poor and the working poor.
Then there is this quote from David Stockman on Reagan's 1981 tax bill-
"[Supply-side economics] was always a trojan horse to bring down the top rate...Do you realize the greed that came to the forefront? The hogs were really feeding."
There were some humorous mis-speak quotes from Dan Quayle that sound very similar to Bushisms made dubiously famous by Bush 41.You will find a collection of Bushisms here unrivaled by most books.
Another interesting subject was the close ties between George W. Bush and Ken Lay.
On page 393 there is a quote from Harry S. Truman-
"Republicans are....bloodsuckers with offices in Wall Street, princes of privilege,plunderers."- Harry S. Truman,1948.
Recent history suggests that Harry called that one correctly!
This book is mostly rhetoric and poorly titled but there is some very good reading from authors such as Greg Palast, Senator Robert Byrd, Stanley Kutler, and The Onion. Greg Palast contributed some investigative reporting on election 2000. Very good information that you won't find in many American news sources.
