Still More George W. Bushisms: Neither in French Nor in English Nor in Mexican

by Jacob Weisberg

Book Overview

"There's an old saying in Tennessee -- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee -- that says, fool me once, shame on -- shame on you. Fool me -- you can't get fooled again."
With signature remarks like these, it's hardly surprising that George W. Bush's malapropisms have become renowned around the world. Editions of Bushisms have become bestsellers in Germany, France, and Italy, and they remain as popular in the United States as ever. Jacob...

Like a Rock, only Dumber!

Another in the long series of books documenting the gaffes of the Dan Quayle of the Oval Office. If you shuddered through the "W" years, you'll love this book.

Funny but oh so sad................

I can't help but laugh out loud at the humorous misspeak of our leader, but then again...oh my God...he IS our leader! Why do we ignore his past alcohol abuse, driving while intoxicated record (documented in Maine) and likely cocaine use cover up? Yet I fear that his lingual brain center wasn't the only part affected!

Don't know whether to laugh or cry

Make no mistake about it. Apart from a few flubs, this is not a book of mere malapropisms, nor would the first-rate journalist Jacob Weisberg have compiled it if that's all it amounted to.No, to the careful reader, this book offers insight into the frighteningly simple mind (and shallow character) now in charge of decisionmaking on vital matters of war, diplomacy, the economy and the environment.For example, is this a man who cares to learn anything about environmental protection in the Arctic?..."the explorationists are willing to only move equipment during the winter, which means they'll be on ice roads, and remove the equipment as the ice begins to melt, so that the fragile tundra is protected."Sure, you'll laugh, and laugh hard, but the question all Americans should ponder after reading this book is: how did someone of this caliber come to power in the world's greatest meritocracy? Where is the accountability of the university powers-that-be who admitted W. to Harvard and Yale? Why was much of the U.S. press and public in 2000 so oblivious to Bush's SCANDALOUS lack of preparation for the highest office in the land? Where was the examination of his character back in 2000, when Bush made it a leading campaign issue?This is the book Kafka urges us to read: a book that "bites and stings" with implied rebuke: how did we let this calamity (this president of both breathtaking stupidity and impoverished character) happen?

That Moron on Pennsylvania Avenue

This is one of the funniest books I have read! Maybe now those who support Bush will realize they are supporting the worst president ever. The election is this year, and four years of this jerk has been enough. It's time for change, and this man will destroy society to give the rich moreand the poor less.

More amazing quotes from W.

I own all three of the the g. w. bushisms books, and I can tell you that they are both funny and scary at the same time! Jacob Weisberg has done an amazing job of researching and collecting quotes from W. to make us all laugh! If you love pollitical humor, go and get all three of these books, quaranteed to leave you in stiches!
