Description:
"Most of you probably didn't know that I have a new book out. Some guy put together a collection of my wit and wisdom -- or, as he calls it, my accidental wit and wisdom. [Laughter] But I'm kind of proud that my words are already in book form."
-- President George W. Bush,
discussing and reading from George W. Bushisms
By now, most of you probably do know about George W. Bushisms, the bestselling collection of misstatements made on the campaign trail by our president. Now, in More George W. Bushisms, Jacob Weisberg reveals that the malapropisms didn't stop on Inauguration Day:
"I've coined new words like misunderstanding and Hispanically."
"I haven't had a chance to talk, but I'm confident we'll get a bill that I can live with if we don't."
"Our nation must come together to unite."
"There's no question that the minute I got elected, the storm clouds on the horizon were getting nearly directly overhead."
These and many other presidential pearls are hilariously on display in More George W. Bushisms.

Bush's WisdomFeb 23, 2008 It's hard to imagine that a man this stupid could actually get elected to any public office much less president of the United States.

Comic ReliefMar 12, 2007 This book is a panic and one of the funniest I've read! You can see the chasm between the Lingua Pura and Bush's atrocious treatment (or should I say MIStreatment) of language. The malapropisms that man is guilty of would embarrass most people, but it is doubtful that Bush (aka Dumbya) is able to see that. Even Archie Bunker, the subliterate fictional bigot of "All in the Family" fame was much more articulate than Dumbya! I have yet to hear anybody tear the language asunder as this man has. It's embarrassing! I guess you could say Dumbya is unwittingly witty as he is unintentionally funny.
As another reviewer stated in his clever review on the US board, luckily Archie never governed a country. Even so, at least Archie would be a tad brighter than Dumbya, whose administration is of the emperor's new clothing genre. This naked emperor has provided comic relief with some of his more ludicrous statements.
Regardless of whether or not you support Dumbya, this delightful book will provide a good look at what passes for a mind for Dumbya. The man is an embarrassment!

Recommended ReadingJun 22, 2004 Hilarious! Great reading. I highly recommend this book! Though many imagined images about Dubbya come to mind as I read this book, I do wish it featured Ocker's hillarious illustrations which I found along with quotes in the George W. Bush Coloring Book!

the truth is always easy to readFeb 03, 2003 This book, including the first volume, are he perfect way to show the American public just how stupid this man is (George W.) How can you expect some one to run a country when they cant even speak coherently. I laughed at every page yet couldn't shake the feeling that it scares me out of my mind that our leader, who didnt even receive the majority of our votes and is now forgetting our own counrty and turning the attention to a war that will benefit no one but himself and people like him, actually has the support of many Americans whos greatest concerns are God, country, and the American way of life. And to top it off, Bush thinks these books are funny! Hes proud that his words have already been collected and publised. We should not only look at our president with disgust but at our selves as well for giving some one like this the power to ruin our lives. If a total of less than 200 pages with only a couple of quotes on each page can so easily degrade our president imagin what a full length book could reveal. Patriotism is standing up for what is right, not blindly supporting your country. America, remember that.
