About this title: This lively yet highly critical view of George Walker Bush is by two veteran Texas journalists who examine his record as governor of the state of Texas, his public statements, his associates, and whatever they can put together under the rubric "policies." This book was published before Bush was elected President. One of the authors, Molly Ivins, is a best-selling author whose books have been several times nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.

"I miss Molly so much, her way of looking at things, her sharp, shrewd mind. I still like to go back and read her old columns on the internet sometimes. She was so right with this book - we got exactly what she said we would get in GWB."
"The late Ms. Ivins wrote this as Dubya was making his move from the Texas governor's mansion to the White House, and is her account of his doings as chief executive of her home state. She wasn't mean or petty, but she pulled no punches in pointing out how he'd conducted himself as governor of Texas, an unimpressive record at best; he apparently changed for the even-worse, or had hidden some darker aspects of his character, though, because as she looked ahead to his presidency she said that the man wasn't mean and wasn't dumb, and he turned out to be meaner than Nixon and dumber than Harding. A good read for a snapshot of how things stood a bit more than eight years ago now, sad in some ways in the light of all that's happened since then."
"First and foremost, I love Molly Ivans. I once met her and she was just the coolest lady ever.
The book is one of those that is so well written and entertaining and depressing all at the same time. It makes you a little upset w/ Ann Richards - and I almost said something to her this one time I saw her in Curras in Austin, but I held my tongue (amazingly).
A book that will give you great insight into what Bush is all about in a humorous way - but like I said, prepare for depression... how this guy won a single election is still an amazement to me. Wait - there was money, and lots of it. Okay, fine... but I'm still amazed that the American public isn't just a LITTLE smarter than that! Just a little... that's all I ask."
