Blurb taken from back cover:
Whether it’s Bush envisioning “a foreign-handed foreign policy” or Mark Crispin Miller skewering vociferous cultural conservatives for their silence on Bush’s particular “West Texas version of Ebonics,” “The Bush Dyslexicon” is a raucously funny ride. But there’s no mistaking Miller’s serious point. Only because our elections have become so dependent on television and its emphatic emptiness, says Miller, could a man of such sublime and complacent ignorance assume the highest office in the land.

I donated this book last night in the Housing Works Bookstore Café at the NYC Bookcrossing meetup.
