Editorial Reviews

Product Description

"They misunderestimated me."

Or did they?


Judge for yourself. Here are over 100 memorable misstatements by our syntactically challenged president, collected, annotated, and introduced by Slate magazine's Jacob Weisberg.


"I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."


"Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream."


"We'll let our friends be the peacekeepers and the great country called America will be the pacemakers."


"It's clearly a budget. It's got a lot of numbers in it."


"I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family."


"I do know I'm ready for the job [the presidency].
And if not, that's just the way it goes."

5.0 out of 5 stars Just a plain old guy, February 6, 2001
By A Customer
Wow - if you are in awe at how the American public could have elected this man as our most powerful politician, read this book! We can't all be rocket scientists, but, on the other hand, we're not running for president... This book is truly Laugh out loud - really reads like a comedy, even the introduction is hysterical! I highly recommend it

4.0 out of 5 stars And They Selected Him Because.........?, August 12, 2001
By Jacob Victory (Nutley, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
Too funny. Short and to the point. W's phrases are captured and left to linger on each page. What each reader thinks of this man is obvious. God bless comedians.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kind of scary.., January 23, 2003
By mchawkins (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews
When W was elected, I thought that the most blatant display of his ineffectiveness as a leader would be his constant errors in public speaking engagements. What I have come to realize during the last two years is that while quite telling, this book doesn't even begin to address the real problems that come with having Bush as our nation's leader. The book is funny, if you can read it without remembering that this man is making decisions about a war whose justifications he cannot articulate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bush with his foot in his mouth
All I can say is if you are a follower of "W" and his policies, don't read this book. It portrays Bush is somewhat stupid and, certainly, semi-literate.
