Having a few laughs on the worst president ever

I'll make this review short and to the point. Reading the quotes in this book shows what a moron George W. Bush essentially is. It's very funny but it's not at all funny to realize that such a cretin is the most powerful man in the world. Although he tries hard to not make such glaring mistakes in his public speaking these days, he has proven his inborn stupidity by racking up an astronomical federal deficit and mismanaging the most useless war America has ever been involved in. Most of the content of this short book is from 2000 but it was certainly a warning of things to come if enough people were stupid enough to vote for this stupid man. Of course, the 2000 election was stolen but if it hadn't been so close, the hijacking of the presidency couldn't have happened. However, stupidity reigns in America so just read this book and have a good laugh. The joke's on us all.

Someone please kill me!!!

Try this one on for size I glance at the headlines just to kind of get a flavor for what's moving. I rarely read the stories, and get briefed by people who are probably read the news themselves." --Washington, D.C., Sept. 21, 2003 That says it all there. I really can't explian how this guy got elected but his quotes make for some hilarious reading. Overall-If you ever need to laugh make sure you have this book handy.

Kind of scary..

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.

What a hoot!

Who'd have guessed that someone with this level of "Wisdom" could be elected to run this country? Want another good one? Read "Is Our Children Learning". It's a real eye-opener!

Just a plain old guy

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
