Still More Bushisms by Jacob Weisberg
Give him a microphone, a podium, even a teleprompter...and he's off! George W. Bush fans and foes alike just can't get enough of Dubya's headline-grabbing gaffes and malapropisms - and the hits just keep on coming. In this third instalment of BUSHISMS, Dubya's unique brand of verbal contortionism is more hilarious and enjoyable than ever. Here is Bushspeak in all its mind boggling glory, from the scrambled sayings ('Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again') to the vocabulary stretches ('the embetterment of mankind'), to the almost Zen-like statements ('I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn't here.'). Whether he's talking about government, leadership, or subjects that defy any attempt at classification, Bush's distinctive way with words shines through on every page of this entertaining collection. It's a book that everyone will want to buy twice-once to give and once to keep. Love him or hate him, it's impossible not to laugh.
