The Bush Dyslexicon
Mark Crispin Miller
Bantam
'They misunderestimated me'...





He tends to blurt out all or part of what he's really thinking, even as he's trying to lie about it...George W Bush is so illiterate as to turn completely incoherent when he speaks without a script.





He seems like too easy a target, but Dubya speaks for himself. Whether he's envisioning 'a foreign-handed foreign policy', explaining the American military's role - 'to fight and be able to win war, and therefore prevent war from happening in the first place' - or telling his nation that 'more and more of our imports come from overseas', George W Bush's appointment to the highest office in the world should strike fear into all our hearts.





THE BUSH DYSLEXICON not only places the President in the context of other notorious dunces-in-chief, but shows him to be indisputably in a league of his own. Packed with incisive essays, famous interviews and classic comments, this book is much more than an amusing collection of Bush's gaffes - it is also a biting polemic on a culture so dependent on the emptiness of television that it has allowed a man who was unable to name the leaders of Pakistan,Chechnya or India to become US President.





To quote Bush himself, 'It's not the way America is all about'.
