ATTENTION REPUBLICANS! Please use this book to beat yourselves about the head until November 2008! DUMBASS is the complete collection of outrageous quotes from President George W Bush, the world's most powerful moron. Both hysterically funny and utterly infuriating, DUMBASS escorts readers humorously through years of George's verbal carnage and leaves us wondering HOW and WHY someone so stupid was permitted to usurp America and orchestrate the greatest foreign relations disaster in history. Not your average quote book, DUMBASS reflects W's own words through the unforgiving lens of popular culture and history as Carlysle utilizes clever quips, quotes, jokes and essays to draw greater (albeit disturbing) insight into the mind of this spectacularly and uniquely inept man. A scathing combination of humor and serious commentary, DUMBASS is a book you will read, re-read and share with your friends for years to come. (Or until the end of the world...whichever comes first)
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
DUMBASS Just Got Smarter! (the book, not the president unfortunately)
Horton Press is pleased to re-release DUMBASS in it's new revised and updated format.
Her book may be incredibly funny, but Carlysle isn’t just playing for "yucks." DUMBASS skewers Bush with his own words while delivering an opportunity for thoughtful analysis of how the issues shaping our future are mirroring the issues that shaped our past. More than just a funny quote book, Carlysle hopes DUMBASS drives home a much bigger message, that America and the very principles she holds dear are in imminent danger. Carlysle says, "We are watching a poorly staged rendition of Wag the Dog, interpreted for the morbidly stupid and performed by the criminally insane."
You may not agree with everything she has to say, but it’s hard not to enjoy the way she says it.
From the Author
It's funny -- after 'lo these many years -- this man still gets my blood boiling. I covered every quote when re-editing and even though I have read them all a thousand times before, it still turns my stomach. The man is a reprobate and an ignoramous; I am as sure of it now as I was in 2004, when I started this whole thing.
That's not to say the book isn't funny -- I still laugh out loud too.
Watch for my next book due out late fall 2012.
Cheers!

Love It,
This review is from: Dumbass: Outrageous Quotes From The World's Most Powerful Moron (Paperback)
I decided to post a review because I'm responding to the one below. I actually loved this book. Bush is made to look like a fool because he is a fool and then some. If you are a big fan of George W Bush than buying this book is probably a mistake but if you are like the rest of us, it's a lot of fun and quite informative. The fact is it's funny. period. It's nice to have for the cover alone. I'm giving it for Christmas gifts this year.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Superbly entertaining book!,
By Arsby (Melrose Park, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dumbass: Outrageous Quotes From The World's Most Powerful Moron (Paperback)
The fellow who calls GW Bush a "superb manager" should consider that a good manager must be able to communicate his thoughts clearly.
This book makes it abundantly clear that when he goes off-script, Bush can't string two coherent sentences together. He falls back on platitudes and cliches, and often gets them wrong. This book makes it clear that he really doesn't have a clue how to explain his administration's policies on complex matters like social security and health care. Perhaps "Dumbass" is too severe. "Incoherent Dimwit" might be better. There are almost 1200 Bush quotes in the book, and they are interspersed with (coherent) quotes from comedians, philosophers, and other politicians. The inclusion of those quotes are what makes this book a superbly entertaining read. It provides some good family fun. My kids and I get a kick out of finding and sharing some of the more stupid/incoherent/bizarre quotes. Makes for some great laughs.

NOT FUNNY and WHO WOULD ENDORSE THIS are fooled again.,

This review is from: Dumbass: Outrageous Quotes From The World's Most Powerful Moron (Paperback)
This book is a compilation of quotes from George W. Bush so you cannot spin the stupidity and downright ignorance of the most powerful man in the world that has his finger on the button. I started feeling sick very early on in the book. I do not expect perfection from my president when it comes to speaking English but I would like him to at least get a passing grade. George W Bush fails miserably on this subject and no matter how you spin it, this is the way I think he thinks. I laugh out loud at NOT FUNNY and WHO WOULD ENDORSE THIS. I just love it when "they" talk about National Defense or 9/11(how many are dead and wounded in Iraq by the way which had nothing to do with 9/11?) Oh, yes, and be sure to blame Clinton for the way Bush speaks. What a bunch of losers that try to spin that angle. jules carlysle has written in my opinion the best book on George W Bush yet because these are his own words in mostly chronological order. He has only himself to blame and no one else, period. He damages his credibility with each and every sentence he spouts out of his mouth. jules also puts sarcasm after many of the sayings and believe me, I understand each and every one of them. I also like the jokes in-between told by some of the finest one-liner comics in the business: Leno, Maher, Stewart, Letterman and a few others. This is a must read for everyone that knows what's really going on. We could have done better let me tell you. This book is a keeper. Buy it.
