What do you think? Supposed to be very well done. SCheer said Bush scared the hell out of him during BUsh's interviews with Scheer. LIving overseas, I have to order it from Amazon.

4. Ordering the book

It's not just if you live overseas. You have to order the book if you live in about two-thirds of the U.S., even in cities that have bookstores. Of course, you can ALWAYS find Ann Coulter's latest ignorant screed.

The final chapter, perhaps in every sense, deals with George W. Bush. Scheer confesses he was ill-prepared for someone who seems to have no idea of, or interest in, playing President, as opposed to playing “Wartime President,” easily the trick of the week when Congress has modestly declined to declare war on anyone.

7. Anyone watch today's Democracy Now.

Amy Goodman is interviewing Scheer about his book.
