Sinking the Ship of State: The Presidency of George W. Bush
By: Walter Brasch
List Price: $24.95
Amazon Price: $34.99

CUSTOMER REVIEW:
A Presidential Disaster Put Into Perspective
I need to note one caveat before my review: I believe (I am not alone) that the presidency of George Bush - our not so beloved 'W' - will go down as one of the most tragic in history.

Therefore, I find the writing of Walter Brasch to be an enjoyable read. It is not so much a book in it's own write (HA! couldn't resist) but a collection of newspaper columns from the beginning of the Bush presidency. Whereas this can be viewed (and is factually correct) as yesterday's news, what I found to be interesting was the history of abuse, the cavalier attitude towards the constitution and individual rights, the cronyism, the outright illegal, immoral and offensive behavior that has been going on for 8 years with W at the helm.

All of which brings us to the sad state of affairs we now see with Bush occasionally popping out of the White House like a ground hog afraid to see his shadow, wanting to let everyone know he cares about our pain. A world weary and totally irrelevant president fumbling to figure out what to do about an economic crisis of biblical proportion, much of the seeds of which were sown by himself and those in his administration. We can read back through the history and origins of much of the current mess and see that, in general, Walter Brasch was right.

There is a reason Laura Bush got the book deal for her memoirs before her husband (people who want to actually sell Books By Bush have suggested he may want to wait...for awhile).

Some articles certainly work better (are more interesting) than others and most have updates where subsequent developments to the topic in question were available. His penchant for reminding us of Bush's many malaprops come as welcome comic relief. They must be of some solace to Dan Quayle who can now step down as the most inarticulate person to hang his hat within a heart beat of the oval office.

This is not light summer beach reading but is well written and researched. The article format works well for a short read after which we can take a break to contemplate how we could have possibly voted this guy into office for a second term.

Shame on us.
 
The President's Counselor: The Rise to Power of Alberto Gonzales

Product Description

The first and only biography of the most controversial u.s. Attorney general in recent memory

In defiance of expectations, statistics, and stereotypes, Alberto Gonzales has risen to become one of the most powerful men in America. Gonzales has been the nexus for key policy points for the Bush administration, and holds inflammatory and very influential positions on issues that seize and polarize the nation?privacy, capital punishment, and torture.

Gonzales's unyielding loyalty to George W. Bush?during a time when to call his presidency "controversial" would be an understatement of massive proportions?is a fascinating study in the politics of ambition.

From his modest beginnings in Humble, Texas, to his stone-faced refusal to buckle under the pressure of dissenters, The President's Counselor provides never-seen insight into the man whose influence over a very powerful president in very pressing times will undoubtedly impact people here and abroad for years to come.

Here's a note for the "to do" list of the Obama Administration's newly appointed Domestic Violence Czar - or Czarina in this case: Battered wives and significant others pose a serious law enforcement and public health problem affecting as many as one in four women in this country. But they are not just an American problem. Women are being whacked all over the world. And some of them are trying to find safety in America - and are being turned away.Why?

By Mark Gonzales KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The mood in the White Sox's clubhouse was very business-like following their solving of Zack Greinke in a 5-0 win at Kansas City. But from a technical standpoint, this was one of the Sox's best games. They didn't swing at too many bad pitches in collecting nine hits in six innings against Greinke, the American League's ERA leader (2.00) who failed to win his 11th game. Scott Podsednik went 3-for-3 against Greinke and is now 16-for-30 lifetime against h • More Filth Bubbles Up from the Bush Years
Unknown News put me onto an intriguing story from The Hill that I hadn’t seen elsewhere. Two bits that caught my eye… This: Moreover, a public-relations maxim of the Bush White House and its press officers was to shorten the lifespan of any bad press to make sure that it got out as widely as possible to as many major news organizations on the same day. For example, in February of 2006, after learning that The New York Times was going to run a story about an administration program t • FLASH! Rush Exposes MinnIransota Gate!
Although the liberal media which is controlled by Zionists continues to ignore the devious plots of liberals, America is blessed by the presence of that ever vigilant authority on fair play and truth-Rush Limbaugh. The voice of hope for those who wish to preserve America from mongrelization as exemplified by the half breed Barack Obama has uncovered a devious plot by Barack and the Jews? stealing the election in MinnIransota in order to elect still another Jew to the Senate.
