Book Reviews of George W. Bush Coloring Book
Book Review: The irony is rich. (What was suglia reading?)
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't know what suglia was reading --Wood answers suglia's question right in the paragraph where The Prisoner is mentioned --says the American people are just like Number Six, not sure if they're in control or being controlled and trying to figure that out. How is that a false analogy --did suglia even read the footnote? And what's the evidence for the feebleness of Wood's grasp? I found the essay pretty compelling, and it proves to be more correct every day --the enthymematic argument thing is pretty useful information, and Dick Cheney's been doing it again in just the last two weeks saying Iraq was in cahootz with Al Qaeda, even after the 9/11 commission said they weren't. (And it's a footnote, not a preface; it says so, right there on the cover, "With a historical footnote by Joley Wood." A footnote goes at the end of the book, which is where the note is, but I guess that's a concept one would have to grasp first --like irony, because there's a lot of it in the book.)
The captions were taken directly from Bush's own speeches, so it's not like anything was doctored up, as they can all be found in the public record. What they show is Bush's own lack of interest in what he's saying as he's saying it --kinda like a ventriloquist's dummy, no thought about what's being said. Since this came out, Bush still hasn't figured out how to say Abu Ghraib, and doesn't seem to care. I would think that says something about his own moral character, when he doesn't bother to learn the name of his own troops' torture chamber. Or does Bush even bother to learn who in his administration blew the cover of a CIA agent --which is a federal offense. Bush's disinterest is kinda like Wolfowitz's, who didn't know how many troops had died in Iraq when asked by congress (he said a couple hundred --he was off by 600 at that point). What's that say about their moral character?
Such examples should make people just a bit worried --we have leaders sending people off to war and not even paying attention to how many are dying. I think the humor in the book, brought out through the irony of abstracting already abstract statements into images, provides a little breathing room and allows for those who might be alarmed by what he says and does to get some perspective and not sit apoplectic with disbelief. If you'd vote for an orangutan before a Democrat, there's probably no use in reading it (or reviewing it without having read it). If you're an independent looking for a laugh, or someone who just likes creative political humor, this is a good bet.
Summary of George W. Bush Coloring Book
Drawing from the imaginative quotes President Bush has uttered over the years, the George W. Bush Coloring Book illustrates Bush's very own words in the form of a coloring book. Illustrator Karen Ocker lends her visually distinct style to on-the-record quotes such as It's amazing I won. I was running against peace, prosperity and incumbency.Humor Books
