Book Description

July 1, 2004
Being the decent man he is, Malachy McCourt has written a compassionate (but devilishly funny) book about George "Wanker" Bush and his practically unnoticed (but major failing) as president — Bush is an alcoholic.

Bush Lies in State is a collection of 24 essays and performance pieces finely tooled to cleanse and disinfect the government by exposing the lies, violence, and hypocrisy of our current, soon-to-be-ex-President, "Blinky bin Bush" and his "Texiban." Malachy McCourt’s distinctive voice rings throughout. As an often-published expert on the subjects of alcoholism and recovery (as well as politics), Malachy has no trouble identifying George W. Bush as a "dry drunk," someone who no longer takes alcohol, but retains all the worst behaviors of the full-blown alky. Worse yet, the disease seems to be contagious, with our whole country now behaving like a dry drunk! The only cure is regime change in 2004.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Malachy McCourt is the author of many books, including A Monk Swimming, which enjoyed 16 weeks on the New York times Best Seller List, has been translated into eight languages, and sold more than 600,000 copies worldwide.

Bush Lies in State is his mission to take back America.

Malachy is also an environmentalist who advocates more trees and less Bushes. He writes often about alcoholism and recovery.

From the Author

In the year of their Lord, 2,000 A.D., a band of propheteers, patrioteers, and profiteers (aka "The Texiban") seized the Presidency. Led by the dry-drunk Blinky bin Bush and the Mullah Cheney Dick, they informed the nation that God had ordained this takeover so that Americans could be saved by showering in the Blood of the Lamb, thereby saving water. They knew our country had been overrun by environmentalists, vegetarians, commies, welfare cheats, and queers wanting to get married, all of whom (unlike normal capitalists) want to exercise their constitutional rights without giving a penny to the Republican Party. ‘Twas time to clean up this country! That goddam Saddam was sitting on our oil, those poverty-stricken minorities were clamoring for equal rights, and stubborn old people were trying to cheat drug companies out of profits and were living longer than they should. Other folks were trying to stop the oil companies from pumping so much because their dirty children were getting asthma from the polluted air. Idiotic parents thought their children should be educated like rich kids.

God, who is Blinky’s God Father (He never slept with Barbara), said W. was his choice, no matter the vote, and that is that. Whether we like it or not, this is a Christian country, so we are blessed to have Christian atheists, Christian agnostics, Christian Jews, Christian Buddhists, Christian Communists, and Christian Capitalists, and if this doesn’t suit you, St. John ("Pal of Jesus") Faschcroft will arrange your passage to Hell, where you’ll find a plenitude of conservatives and real global warming.

5.0 out of 5 stars Take back America  send the drunks back to Crawford, July 19, 2004
This review is from: Bush Lies In State (Paperback)
Malachy McCourt and Michael Moore, both American-born Irishmen, share the outrage that a dry drunk from Texas is now the dangerous leader of the world's only superpower. Though a bit older (and more comely) than Mr. Moore, Malachy offers devastating evidence as to why George W. Bush should be denied re-election. Not only is Bush a drunk who never really sobered up (even if he no longer drinks), he is a religious zealot willing to inflict punishment on imagined enemies, even as Oliver Cromwell (a 17th Century Taliban) visited genocide on the tranquil Irish town of Drogheda, Ireland (on September 11, 1649, by an extraordinary coincidence).
Malachy's short, hard-hitting chapters gnaw away at Bush (and Cheney-Wolfoiwitz-Rumsfeld's) distortions and prevarications, and emphasize why regime change is necessary in November's elections. This book is a must!

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and well-written, August 26, 2004
By 
Michael B (Greenwich, CT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bush Lies In State (Paperback)
Bush fans, take heed: this left-wing portrayal of our president will probably not dissuade you from voting for him. For those who oppose Bush, this book preaches to the choir in a colorful and humorous way. Caustic and satirical of the current leadership, this book reads like a cross between a novel and a comic strip, mixing fact and fiction with a paintbrush.
