This is an entertaining collection of the "accidental wit and wisdom of our 43rd president," but it is too lightweight to make a book. This and its predecessor combined are perhaps worth a full book, but 87 pages with only a quote or two on each page is pretty much a ripoff at $ list price. The whole book can easily be read while browsing at a bookstore.

In my opinion, if the cost of a book new is greater than the cost of photocopying it at a public copy machine ($/page), it's overpriced. My suggestion is to read it at a library or bookstore, or purchase it used.

This book is a hoot, and extremely fun to read! You can, once again, see the vast gap between normal speech and diction and the garbled gobbledygook that so frequently spews from the mouth of George W. Bush. One reviewer suggested that if you follow anyone around long enough, you'll hear similar things. Maybe he's only hanging around illiterate and dyslexic morons, but I don't hear that kind of gibberish on a regular basis and I've never heard such mangling of the English language since....well, maybe Archie Bunker and Yogi Berra. Fortunately, neither of them was in charge of our country. Love him or hate him, this book gives readers a clear view into the garbled mind of Dubya.

Despite the marketing and spin doctoring surrounding the president, this book and the quotations it contains reveals the true intellectual capacity of the man who occupies the most powerful office in the world. These are not fabricated quotations, they come directly from printed news sources and can easily be confirmed through the most basic research methods. A book like this is fun to read and fun to laugh at, but it also reveals (perhaps unintentionally) the remarkable gullibility of our populace. How could an undistinguished man of such mediocre intellectual abilities ever have gotten elected in the first place?

Very enjoyable. Better read it now before it is banned by the US!

Hilarious! Great reading. I highly recommend this book! Though many imagined images about Dubbya come to mind as I read this book, I do wish it featured Ocker's hillarious illustrations which I found along with quotes in the George W. Bush Coloring Book!

This book is a panic and one of the funniest I've read! You can see the chasm between the Lingua Pura and Bush's atrocious treatment (or should I say MIStreatment) of language. The malapropisms that man is guilty of would embarrass most people, but it is doubtful that Bush (aka Dumbya) is able to see that. Even Archie Bunker, the subliterate fictional bigot of "All in the Family" fame was much more articulate than Dumbya! I have yet to hear anybody tear the language asunder as this man has. It's embarrassing! I guess you could say Dumbya is unwittingly witty as he is unintentionally funny.

As another reviewer stated in his clever review on the US board, luckily Archie never governed a country. Even so, at least Archie would be a tad brighter than Dumbya, whose administration is of the emperor's new clothing genre. This naked emperor has provided comic relief with some of his more ludicrous statements.

Regardless of whether or not you support Dumbya, this delightful book will provide a good look at what passes for a mind for Dumbya. The man is an embarrassment!

Definitely makes you laugh. Don't read this at night when others are sleeping. Its hilarious to see the things President Bush Jr. said. I had no clue he made so many mistakes. I don't know for sure but I think every quote has a location and date of where and when he said it. So its all true but freakin hilarious.

It's hard to imagine that a man this stupid could actually get elected to any public office much less president of the United States.

This book, including the first volume, are he perfect way to show the American public just how stupid this man is (George W.) How can you expect some one to run a country when they cant even speak coherently. I laughed at every page yet couldn't shake the feeling that it scares me out of my mind that our leader, who didnt even receive the majority of our votes and is now forgetting our own counrty and turning the attention to a war that will benefit no one but himself and people like him, actually has the support of many Americans whos greatest concerns are God, country, and the American way of life. And to top it off, Bush thinks these books are funny! Hes proud that his words have already been collected and publised. We should not only look at our president with disgust but at our selves as well for giving some one like this the power to ruin our lives. If a total of less than 200 pages with only a couple of quotes on each page can so easily degrade our president imagin what a full length book could reveal.
Patriotism is standing up for what is right, not blindly supporting your country. America, remember that.

BR>This is more of a fun book than the first so buy more of it, read more of it, and enjoy more of it.
