Book Description

March 2004
What if the reason that the president can’t speak properly is because he is really a hairless chimp who was switched at birth? That's the premise of Cassandra Sagan's new political satire "No Chimp Left Behind; An Explanication Of The Presidential Origin Of The Speechities." Incorporating actual quotes from George W. Bush, "No Chimp Left Behind" spins the tale of President Victor Vincent Thorn, known as "Double V", and the renegade band of ‘panzees who control his speech and actions. You don’t have to be anti-Bush to laugh at the jokes Dubya has unwittingly supplied this 98 page "children’s book for adults." You don’t have to be a registered Bushonics speaker to realize that the chimps are also speaking in Bushisms. Need more than a minute’s worth of comic relief during the dog days of regime change? Kick back and enjoy a full length volume featuring the most lampooned, cartooned, satirized, parodied, mocked, lambasted, ridiculed president the United States has ever known! The 16 full page illustrations by Winky Wheeler are worth the cover price alone; can you find the symbolism embedded in each drawing? Cover art by debi lee mandel.

Act now! Come November, this book will self-destruct, just like Dubya’s presidency.

1.0 out of 5 stars Monkey Madness!!!, January 24, 2005
This review is from: No Chimp Left Behind (Paperback)
On a trip to the United States I passed through the lovely town of Portland, Oregon and found this atrocity in a massive used book store. The cover looked funny and entertaining, but all these thoughts were quelled the moment I began to read the book. Nonetheless its sheer stupidity kept me turning the pages.
Upon reading this book, I was struck by the ignorance of this author. Not only does this short novel lack any coherent structure, but also is a sour attempt at humor. I can understand that Bush's face looks like a chimp's, but joking about how he has been switched at birth for a "hairless chimpanzee" is unimaginative and banal. My question is, "who cares?" If you want to chastise a political leader, why not do so intelligently, citing resources and using facts to back up your claims. Quotes used out of context don't cut it.
A very unhappy read. Overall very disappointing and a waste of your time. Hardly worth a review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Political Satire - Funny and Powerful, April 25, 2004
By 
This review is from: No Chimp Left Behind (Paperback)
The most devasting use of the President's own words since "Quotations from Chairman LBJ" in the late 60's. Silly but serious fun that's a great quick read - this local author definitely has a poet's ear for language. And, a nice bonus, I finally understand why George H.W. Bush chose Quayle as his Vice President!

5.0 out of 5 stars Political satire -- zany, wildly imaginative, and fun, April 21, 2004

This review is from: No Chimp Left Behind (Paperback)
I just finished reading NO CHIMP LEFT BEHIND and found it to be a wacky and brilliant political satire about our president and present life in the United States. The book weaves in actual quotes from W. and that's the scary part. The hip wildness of the book - in which a group of chimps take over the world - is reminiscent of the novels of Tom Robbins. It's both silly and smart at the same time. Enjoy!
