I loved the title; the book was ok. it was hard for me to follow. I'm not sure if it is because it is full of political jargon I'm not used to or the scattered writing. It doesn't seem to follow a logical progression. A little redundant. However, I like the message and it is very shocking to hear how bush has been destroying laws made to protect the "little guy". It's all for big corporations and big 'badness' which helps the richest of the rich! The poor keep getting poorer.

Book on CD read by Molly Ivins

The subtitle really says it all. Oh, how I miss Molly Ivins!

Ivins was a political commentator / journalist based in Texas. In an earlier book, she and Dubose examined the George W Bush’s flawed policies and abysmal record as governor of Texas. In this second book on “Dubya” they look at his presidency and how he has used many of those same strategies in running the nation.

It’s a somewhat dated book, today, and yet frighteningly appropriate in this “primary” season. Ivins doesn’t pull any punches and gives many examples of the effects of his ideology and policies on mainstream Americans struggling to make it – heck, forget “succeeding,” they’re struggling to survive.

Molly Ivins does a great job reading the audio. I feel like my best friend is just telling it like it is over a morning coffee (or a scotch at the bar)….

The irony is that the faults that the authors attribute to Cheney (and which the reader might recoil in horror from) would probably be points of pride to Cheney himself. As he might have said: 'Did I amass a fortune at the expense of other people? Yes, because that's the natural order of things. Did I subvert the Government of the United States? It had been subverted by liberals, I simply put things back in place. Did this cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of people? Sure, but they don't count, people die all the time anyway. Get over it and stop bleating.' Students of ancient Rome might recognize a few characters here...'… (plus d'informations)
