Bullshit Artist: The 9/11 Leadership Myth

Subtitled "America was under attack for 102 minutes and for 102 minutes the president did nothing: How George W. Bush turned his pathetic performance on 9/11 into political gold," this book certainly caught our attention.

This 312-page compilation of the Bush crew's totally inept performance on 9/11 -- including their failure to take a single action to prevent it from occurring even when warned -- was fascinating even to the eyes of jaded 'ol BuzzFlash, who monitored the news reports of 9/11 as it happened.

Part of the attraction of "Bullshit Artist: The 9/11 Leadership Myth" is that its citizen-author, Ron Schalow of North Dakota, mixes fact with sardonic commentary and a playful layout. Can it be fun finding out how the Bush Administration is incompetent? Well yeah, in a sort of "all hail to the dunce" perverse sort of way.

You realize that the mainstream media is so busy playing its role as royal court transcribers that their reporting lacks the most basic of common sense. Schalow litters "Bullshit Artist" with the basic logic of the common person -- and Bush and his minions come off as something like a nefarious version of the Keystone Cops. However, after reading this book, you are left yearning for the Keystone Cops, who would have done a far better job protecting our nation and reacting to 9/11.

Frankly, until we read "Bullshit Artist," we had forgotten how abysmally clueless the Bushevik government is. Their theme song should be "Don't Send in the Clowns; We're Already Here."

Schalow's biting, down-to-earth asides remind us that we are the sane ones -- and also bring a smile to our face. Schalow confirms -- by focusing on the statements by Busheviks about their actions during 9/11 and the factual admissions -- that these are dolts of the most extreme variety. Their plea to the man and woman on the street appears to be, "doesn't everyone have the right to be confused, disoriented, and unable to act?"

I haven't read it. But it looks damn good.

2. Guiliani is another phony 9/11 "leader"

Let's not forget Guiliani when we think about the 9/11 leadership myth.
Guiliani, who was all but placed headed for NY exile on 9/10, walked around like the leader he always he wanted to be on 9/11. Perhaps he was looking for the command center that he placed at - the WTC!! - or maybe he was just pissed about the lack of coordination between between NYPD and NYFD - after gutting both departments during his term.
Or maybe he was just trying to cross the street against the light without being cited for jaywalking - another notable Rudy initiative for NYC in pre-9/11.

4. Yeah, Rudi was my first thought.

But lying, self-serving weasels are so much alike.
