Fun, made me feel better about the last 8 years

Fun and easy read. I browse through this title every now and then, it helps me cope with what happened over the last eight years. The book is by no means an in-depth analysis of the policies or politics of the Bush administration, but an uplifting and easy-to-digest ironic look at what went on. It's worth the money.

Hilarious, But...

The calendar seems to be off by one day. Well, let me re-phrase that - SOMEBOY'S calendar is off by a day. For instance, this is Saturday, June 9, 2007. According to my copy of the George W. Bush Out of Office Countdown, we have to endure 591 days until we can, hopefully, get our country back. Yet, according to other sources - like backwardsbush.com - there are 590 days left. I can't find any explanations for the discrepency, and I'm too busy to do the math myself. I suppose in the end it doesn't matter. The important point is, the end really is within spitting distance. Maybe our next leadership can bring democracy (back) to the American people. Heck maybe some day we can even hold our heads up again. Until then, having this calendar helps.

When you are feeling down

As a Christmas gift, this book was a hit. Her reaction, "I leafed through it and started to laugh so hard that my sides are hurting now. This is exactly the kind of pick-me-up that I needed. Anyway, the Bush book is still the best anti-depressant around. Any time I need to laugh, I pick it up."

Mr. Croak, gimme a break

To Mr. Croak (reviewer) above: "The dramatic rise of terrorism throughout the world is barely even mentioned in this simplistic literary property." What planet are you on? There was no "dramatic rise of terrorism" UNTIL Junior was President. THAT'S THE POINT. You need to get out of the country more, or read papers other than those in the US to understand the global implications of Bush's "think I'll do that this week--sounds good-yeah" policies. And, please, dont insult my intelligence by mentioning 911; there are far too many open questions about that day that have not been answered to any discerning person's satisfaction. Instead, we've been forced to live with its consequences because The Decider has decided what's good for us as a result without our participation, and denigrates anyone who questions his decisions, as if he weren't the hired hand that he is.

Bushie, You're Doing a Heck of a Job

What do you do when a pathetic excuse for a human being is the most powerful person on the planet? Laugh. At least that's the goal of the authors of "George W. Bush Out of Office Countdown Handbook," and is one they accomplish well. Needless to say, the Bush administration gives them plenty of material: there are the bloopers and blunders (too many to count), the scandals, the indictments and the sheer stupidity of this President: a man who can't pronounce 'nuclear'; doesn't give a damn about finding Osama bin Laden; lied to the country about Iraq having WMD and being a threat to the US; assigned a man with no experience in emergencies to head FEMA, and when that man proved to be absolutely incompetent, Bush congratulated him on "doing a heck of a job"... The harm caused by the commander in chief is well-known, and while it's enough to make most patriotic Americans weep, this book provides a way to turn such troubles into laughter. That's all fine and well, but I have a different proposal to save America from this blithering idiot: Impeach.
