The Book on Bush: How George W. (Mis)leads America - Alterman

[RamboLiberal]

Just got this tonight - Looks great. Read the part on the day of 9-11. Alterman and Green bring up the some of the questions of the timeline of that day and Bush's sorry performance as CIC, his going in to the class room even though they knew, his staying there cause they didn't want to scare the kids, etc. And his sorry-ass flying around the country protecting his own ass.

A lot of info we already know but bet much of America doesn't of all the intelligence warnings prior to 9-11, and how Bushies, Rice, etc., ignored the warnings. Raises issue of Bushie going fishing after the 8-6 briefing instead of doing anything. Mentions Richard Clarkes being frantic that summer that something big was going to happen (man I can't wait for his book - hope he blows one helluva whistle on * cabal).

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Examining the Bush administration's record on domestic and foreign policy issues, Alterman (What Liberal Media?) and former New York City public advocate Green see a pattern of dissimulation to promote the interests of the religious right, big business and neoconservative radicals. The two progressive champions make no effort to hide their dislike of Bush, branding him an "affirmative-action-legacy student" lacking knowledge and brain power. But the weight of their evidence and their reasonable tone make it difficult to dismiss them as ideologues. Though David Corn recently covered this territory in The Lies of George W. Bush, Alterman and Green provide more up-to-the-minute information on several issues, including the Environmental Protection Agency's withholding of information about potential health risks to residents of lower Manhattan after 9/11. They also document a disregard for truth displayed by other administration officials and by Bush's federal judicial appointees. From this voluminous record emerges a portrait of Bush as an ideological bully who knows how to "fake left and drive to the right," passing himself off as a populist while launching initiatives that benefit only his hardcore supporters. Expect liberal cognoscenti to back this book in droves as the election campaigns heat up.
