Bushit is the book that Jack Huberman hoped he would never have to write. The author of the hugely successful Bush-Hater's Handbook became an American citizen in order to vote against the loathed administration of Dubya and his cronies. This time, Bush managed what he had failed to achieve in 2000, and did win the election. Huberman reacted to this calamitous news by writing a new, indispensable guide for concerned citizens everywhere. Moving from A through Z, Bushit explores with vitriol and humor the lows of Bush 2004. From the cynical manipulation by the Christian right of the Terry Schiavo tragedy to the alarming rise of the moral values mantra, from the corruption of DeLay to the mean-spiritedness of the bankruptcy bill, from corporate malfeasance to Martha Stewart, Deficit Attention Disorder to Creationism, Bushit catalogues the outrages and scandals of an administration that appears unwilling or unable to learn from the mistakes and deceits of its first term.

Good bye and good ridance.,
By JMHO (South Jersey Shore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bushit!: An A-Z Guide to the Bush Attack on Truth, Justice, Equality, and the American Way (Paperback)
This book is a nice reminiscience of what good persons everywhere will not miss following the exit of Bush and Cheney.
Oh wait, that is wishful thinking. The White House pair have left us with good 'n' plenty to fret about continuing long after they are gone. Their war-of-choice in Iraq, Bush himself has declared will last through coming presidencies - plural. And if Cheney gets his way, they will soon expand that war next to Iran. No, there will be no freeing ourselves of the curse of these bugaboos anytime soon. These neo-con Republican strategists conned their own voters (remember "no nation building," the campaign slogan Bush used against the Clinton administration?) These Republican, fundamentalist, apocolyptic, end-of-the-worlders just can't wait for their one-way tickets to Sheol. And to take as many of us with them as they can, to paraphrase Richard Prior. It's a regular fundamentalist hoot. ""Muslims. Double Muslims, them's the ones you don't want to f*** with--dem double Muslims. 'Cause them motherf***ers can't wait to get to Allah. And want to take eight or nine motherf***ers with 'em." - Richard Pryor, performing stand-up comedy in 1982

This review is from: Bushit!: An A-Z Guide to the Bush Attack on Truth, Justice, Equality, and the American Way (Paperback)
I purchased this book as a recomendation from Amazon from another book I purchased. I must have read a worse book I just can't remember when! Thank God I bought it used so I didn't waste alot of money on it! Jack Huberman doesn't even have a good imagination! It reminded me of 'Being Lost In A Really Bad Woody Allen Movie'... Don't waste your time!

This review is from: Bushit!: An A-Z Guide to the Bush Attack on Truth, Justice, Equality, and the American Way (Paperback)
Bushit, is a great fiction book. It provides a lot of opinions, and allows people to disregard reality, while allowing speculation and Hippie mentality to dominate the book and influence the opinions of the average person.
In reality, the book has very few factual references, and refers most of the time to Opinion Editorial pages from questionable sources. The only references in the book are opinion based. No real facts are cited. If one wants a fictional account of Bush's evils, then by all means buy the book. If one wants reality, bypass this one! J C Gumm gumm29@aol.com
