11:06 - Kevin Phillips: "American Dynasty" (Viking)
President Bush's father was president and his grandfather a senator. But a one-time Republican strategist traces the family's political connections much further back. Kevin Phillips takes a look at four generations of the Bush family and how they have affected America.

Kevin Phillips, political commentator and author of "Wealth and Democracy: A Political History of the American Rich" (Broadway)

11. "Bush family has more connections to Bin Laden family than Saddam Hussein"

Now that's a mantra that should be repeated over and over....

Other tidbits...

Phillips indicated that Dems should push on Bush Sr's role in delaying the Iran hostages release so Carter couldn't benefit.

40% of Shrub's support in 2000 came from fundamentalist, Christian Coalition voters. He is effectively considered the Christian Coalition, fundamentalists' replacement leader for Pat Robertson!!

Scary stuff...I've got to read that book.
