The I Hate George W. Bush Reader: Why Dubya Is Wrong About Absolutely Everything

by Clint Willis

Americans have a lot of reasons to hate George W. Bush—and readers will find them all in The I Hate George W. Bush Reader. The anthology features the best writing about the myriad reasons to hate Dubya, including his bald-faced lies about everything from Iraq's "nucyular" program to his industry-written energy policy, his corporate giveaways disguised as environmental policies, his chicken-hawk militarism, his disdain for our civil liberties, and his pathetic economic record of squandered surpluses, record deficits and millions of lost jobs. In addition, there is his smug smirk, his silver-spoon incompetence, the way he butchers our language, his staff of misers, hypocrites and closet fascists like Gale Norton, John Ashcroft, Donald Rumsfeld, and Dick Cheney. The I Hate George W. Bush Reader features selections from our funniest, sharpest and most convincing political writers so that readers never again have to worry about losing an argument to a cocksure, ill-informed backer of the Pretender-in-Chief. Included are pieces from Al Franken, Paul Krugman, Molly Ivins, Greg Palast, Joe Conanson, and Michael Moore.

Great collection of liberal articles on Bush and the horrible policies he and his cronies supported. Picked it up thinking that reporting from the halcyon days of his presidency might shed some light on our current nightmare and does it ever! The seeds of the Trump debacle were planted long before Dubya was installed in office but he and his posse sure nurtured them. Now I’m more discouraged than ever. Can this country ever recover from the curse that “compassionate conservatism” has inflicted on it? Note: 2 star rating only reflects the horrifying subjects of the articles, not the quality of the writing. That part was great.

The title was promising but I just could not like this book.

What a jackass. Can we get him out of office any faster? Although this is a few years old, it shares a lot of facts as to why this guy is a dipshit. Jesus, If they come out with a second edition, it's going to be 8 million pages long...

This book tells you all the reasons you should hate George Bush. The jokes on them, I already know all the reasons why I should hate George Bush.
