IMHO, the best of the recent anti-Chimp books |

Check out "FRAUD: The Strategy of the Bush Lies and Why the Media Didn't Tell You" by Paul Waldman. Lays blame for the disaster where it belongs--at the feet of the compliant, obsequious, spineless and lazy national media. Odd how reading the unvarnished truth can be simultaneously satisfying and sickening. :beer: :puke: It's too bad about these terrific books with titles including words like "Fraud" and "Lies", though. That sort of presentation, it seems to me, guarantees preaching only to the converted, when they should be read by anyone who is even half serious about what it means to vote.

1. It does seem a little hard, but... |

... I thought that bookwise Franken and Moore had the biggest best sellers, bigger than Coulter and O'Reilly.

..I doubt that anyone's mind is being changed. It probably just means that liberals are buying a lot of books these days. Savage just put out a new pile of excrement. It'll probably be #1 next week. The point is, rabid partisan screeds will always sell. I'd have preferred "Fraud", for example, to present a non-threatening title (like, say, "The Journey of GW Bush" or "Bush: Man and Myth") then slam the unsuspecting with the cold, hard truth. As opposed to nodding along in smug knowingness (like me, for example), it would be much more beneficial to our national health if the reader's eyes popped out in horror.
