Customer Reviews

Hilarious with great editorial cartoons

Biting satire is the name of the game in this book. The cartoons are brilliantly portrayed and are the best of the year from a variety of cartoonists from all over the country. I have several years worth and these are really collectors items in many ways portraying politics and many other topics too. (if you are for Bush don't read this book- you won't like it). Being a Bush basher , I love it!

The Highs and Lows of the Bush.

If you wish a whimsical history of the Bush presidency, choose THE BIG BOOK OF BUSH CARTOONS! THE HISTORY OF THE BUSH PRESIDENCY IN CARTOONS! Editorial cartoons gained from the best political cartoonists contribute a diversity of drawing, perspective and focus in revealing the history of Bush's interactions around the world, from his initial hanging chad election to the war in Iraq. Black and white cartoons are as large as a full page, while others are four to a page: all provide fun commentary those with a sense of humor and interest in social and political issues will appreciate.

Something for everyone

You don't have to hate President Bush to like this book! Granted, most of the cartoonists are liberal and take their best jabs, but the humor in the irony that permeates politics transcends party affiliation. The conservative cartoonists are outstanding, too! With this book, Cagle continues the great job he does every day with his world-famous website. IMHO, anyone who flames this book either a) hasn't read it, or, b) is demonstrating some sort of professional jealousy.

A Cartoonists' Perspective of the Bush Trainwreck

The best political cartoons have a core of truth covered in a thick hide of satire. This is certainly true of this collection put together by Daryl Cagle and Brian Farrington. There probably aren't a lot of people in the world today who find George W. Bush and his minions inspiring in any way whatsoever. Editorial cartoonists are the exception. Bush and co are mercilessly skewered from "go" to "whoa" by cartoonists not only from the USA but also from Canada, Australia, South America and Asia. And that's what makes this volume a better buy than some of the other cartoon collections available which tend to focus on only toons from the USA and Canada. This book gives a world perspective on how Bush and his buffoons are perceived across the planet. There are also conservative cartoons for the minority who still worship at the Bush altar. A great collection from the finest cartoonists in the world today. Something for Scooter and co. to peruse after a long day making license plates and sowing laundry bags.

Bush Bashing At Its Best!

Another funny book from Cagle Cartoons! It's great to see another celebration of this unique (and dying) art form. Plus it's a great subject for the cartoonists to pick on.
