"Most of you probably didn't know that I have a new book out. Some guy put together a collection of my wit and wisdom -- or, as he calls it, my accidental wit and wisdom. [Laughter] But I'm kind of proud that my words are already in book form." -- President George W. Bush, discussing and reading from George W. Bushisms By now, most of you probably do know about George W. Bushisms, the bestselling collection of misstatements made on the campaign trail by our president. Now, in More George W. Bushisms, Jacob Weisberg reveals that the malapropisms didn't stop on Inauguration Day: "I've coined new words like misunderstanding and Hispanically." "I haven't had a chance to talk, but I'm confident we'll get a bill that I can live with if we don't." "Our nation must come together to unite." "There's no question that the minute I got elected, the storm clouds on the horizon were getting nearly directly overhead." These and many other presidential pearls are hilariously on display in More George W. Bushisms.

Entertaining but lightweight and overpriced
25 Jan 2003
By James J. Lippard
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is an entertaining collection of the "accidental wit and wisdom of our 43rd president," but it is too lightweight to make a book. This and its predecessor combined are perhaps worth a full book, but 87 pages with only a quote or two on each page is pretty much a ripoff at $ list price. The whole book can easily be read while browsing at a bookstore.
In my opinion, if the cost of a book new is greater than the cost of photocopying it at a public copy machine ($/page), it's overpriced. My suggestion is to read it at a library or bookstore, or purchase it used.

Extremely funny & enjoyable -- see into the feeble mind of W
12 Nov 2002
By kmk76574
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is a hoot, and extremely fun to read! You can, once again, see the vast gap between normal speech and diction and the garbled gobbledygook that so frequently spews from the mouth of George W. Bush. One reviewer suggested that if you follow anyone around long enough, you'll hear similar things. Maybe he's only hanging around illiterate and dyslexic morons, but I don't hear that kind of gibberish on a regular basis and I've never heard such mangling of the English language since....well, maybe Archie Bunker and Yogi Berra. Fortunately, neither of them was in charge of our country. Love him or hate him, this book gives readers a clear view into the garbled mind of Dubya.

The Cold Shower of Reality
14 Nov 2002
By Dr. Popinofsky
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Despite the marketing and spin doctoring surrounding the president, this book and the quotations it contains reveals the true intellectual capacity of the man who occupies the most powerful office in the world. These are not fabricated quotations, they come directly from printed news sources and can easily be confirmed through the most basic research methods. A book like this is fun to read and fun to laugh at, but it also reveals (perhaps unintentionally) the remarkable gullibility of our populace. How could an undistinguished man of such mediocre intellectual abilities ever have gotten elected in the first place?
