A Devastating and Compelling Indictment
Review: David Corn's "The Lies of George W. Bush: Mastering the Politics of Deception"
by Jeff Koopersmith


Oct. 16, 2003 -- David Corn, political editor of The Nation, has gifted us a new and riveting book gaping at the lies, half-truths, and masquerades of President George W. Bush. "The Lies of George W. Bush: Mastering the Politics of Deception" is an essential answer to who, what, where, when, why and how the United States has launched itself, in only a few years, on a path seemingly hell-bent for self-destruction.


At Amazon.com there are 210 books with the word "liar" in the title, 2,378 books with the word "lie" in the title and another couple hundred with the word "lying" in the title. It appears that lies and lying are nothing original. Yet, no other president in history has had seven books -- all labeling him an almost pathological liar -- published within months of each other.


Corn joins six reliable writers recent books have focused on the misdeeds of the present administration. The writers include Al Franken, whose serious but entertaining "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right" was propelled to bestseller status by one of the book's subjects, FOX News Channel's Bill O'Reilly; Christopher Scheer, who focuses on the Middle East in "The Five Biggest Lies Bush Told Us about Iraq"; Joe Conason's elouqent compilation, "Big Lies: The Right-Wing Propaganda Machine and How It Distorts the Truth"; Thierry Meyssan's "9/11: The Big Lie"; the brilliant "Bushwhacked" by Molly Ivins and Lou Dubose; and a fresh book by guerilla filmmaker Michael Moore, "Dude, Where's My Country?"


This is the seventh, and perhaps the most significant, examination of the President's pretenses, and unquestionably the most damaging to the White House, as Corn leads the reader not only through Mr. Bush's lies relating to the military escapade in Iraq and terrorism, but through the entire range of his agenda -- including his stated falsehoods regarding education, neoconservative Republican politics, the 2000 presidential campaign, tax policy, and the President's relationships with big business con artists -- with he himself among them.

1. I saw Korn on Cspan recently, he clobbered em

He picked apart his call in critics and crazies piece by piece. He was devastating.

3. that was great

some wingnut called in and tried to lie about what he said but Corn is fearless. I admire that. For a long time it was Franken alone making the rounds and taking the war to the freaks. Corn said he's tough enough to do this. Kudoes to him. He's so eloquent and its so
clear he knows what he's talking about.

2. Corn is an excellent journalist

I read him often. I can't wait until I get around to reading his book. I'm reading several right now, but when I get the chance this one is definitely on my list.
