Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2006

Hang in there-it's almost over!

Much of the nation has been counting the days since the first inauguration of the president who said, "I'm the commander-see, I don't need to explain-I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being president."

Yes, there is hope-and now you can count down the days while enjoying:

--the best of Bush bloopers and blunders
--the indictments, scandals, embarrassments and audacity of the president's advisors, admirers (think Harriet), cronies, appointees (see "cronies") and strange bedfellows

5.0 out of 5 stars Bushie, You're Doing a Heck of a Job, November 26, 2006

This review is from: The George W. Bush Out of Office Countdown Handbook: Hang in There! It's Almost Over! (Paperback)

What do you do when a pathetic excuse for a human being is the most powerful person on the planet? Laugh.

At least that's the goal of the authors of "George W. Bush Out of Office Countdown Handbook," and is one they accomplish well. Needless to say, the Bush administration gives them plenty of material: there are the bloopers and blunders (too many to count), the scandals, the indictments and the sheer stupidity of this President: a man who can't pronounce 'nuclear'; doesn't give a damn about finding Osama bin Laden; lied to the country about Iraq having WMD and being a threat to the US; assigned a man with no experience in emergencies to head FEMA, and when that man proved to be absolutely incompetent, Bush congratulated him on "doing a heck of a job"...

The harm caused by the commander in chief is well-known, and while it's enough to make most patriotic Americans weep, this book provides a way to turn such troubles into laughter.

That's all fine and well, but I have a different proposal to save America from this blithering idiot: Impeach.

As a Christmas gift, this book was a hit. Her reaction, "I leafed through it and started to laugh so hard that my sides are hurting now. This is exactly the kind of pick-me-up that I needed. Anyway, the Bush book is still the best anti-depressant around. Any time I need to laugh, I pick it up."

5.0 out of 5 stars Mr. Croak, gimme a break, November 26, 2006

By 

Truth Insister (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The George W. Bush Out of Office Countdown Handbook: Hang in There! It's Almost Over! (Paperback)

To Mr. Croak (reviewer) above: "The dramatic rise of terrorism throughout the world is barely even mentioned in this simplistic literary property."

What planet are you on? There was no "dramatic rise of terrorism" UNTIL Junior was President. THAT'S THE POINT. You need to get out of the country more, or read papers other than those in the US to understand the global implications of Bush's "think I'll do that this week--sounds good-yeah" policies.

And, please, dont insult my intelligence by mentioning 911; there are far too many open questions about that day that have not been answered to any discerning person's satisfaction. Instead, we've been forced to live with its consequences because The Decider has decided what's good for us as a result without our participation, and denigrates anyone who questions his decisions, as if he weren't the hired hand that he is.
