Ultimate Bushisms - Hardcover

'See, free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction.' We laugh at every gaffe and malapropism. But when Jacob Weisberg set out to create a magnum opus summarising America's forty-third president's first term, he realised that there was more at stake than mere humour. Combining new and selected Bushisms with hilarious fact-checking of Bush's 'accurate' statements, and organising them according to Bush's own 'thinking' in such chapters as 'What I Stand For', 'Leadership' and, of course, 'Is Our Children Learning?', THE DELUXE ELECTION EDITION BUSHISMS combines the hilarity of the previous collections with the bite of Michael Moore and Al Franken. Love him or hate him, it is impossible not to laugh at him, and it is impossible not to buy and read this irresistible book.

Jacob Weisberg is chief political correspondent for SLATE magazine, where he writes the 'Ballot Box' column and for whom he covered the campaign while gathering Bushisms. He is currently a contributing writer for THE NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE, from 1989 to 1994 he was an editor at THE NEW REPUBLIC.
