"Bushwhacked"

Bushwhacked: Life in George W. Bush's America (Molly Ivins & Lou Dubose)

I love how when you go to the Amazon page for this, it screams
Only 5 left in stock (more on the way).

I mean, I don't want to be rude, but is there a really huge demand for this book? To sum it up in one word - one devastating word, in the world of politics - it's (bum bum bum bum bum bum)

Dated. 

It's well written and entertaining, but let's be honest here: No matter how big an asshole move it is, do people remember old W as one of the worst presidents because he refused to ratify Clinton's workplace ergonomics legislation? I'd say no, and this book was published before the epic, presidency-destroying bungles of, say, Iraq's disastrous occupation, and eating birthday cake while New Orleans was destroyed. Going back and reading this book now, the two things that leap out are Enron, and the very start of the Iraq war. Everything else, horrible as it is, seems like small potatoes compared to what W ended up doing before we got a responsible adult in the white house again (wow - more like bite size political opinions.blogspot.com! -ed). 
So should you read it? If you find it for free like I did, sure, but given the age of the material, this is hard to recommend otherwise.

Grade: B? Yeah, let's go with that.
