This should be required reading for all Contemporary American History classes. I wish Molly was alive today to give commentary on the current political circus! This lays out in logical and whimsical style all that has gone wrong with American Politics in the past 20 years.

I really miss Molly's incisive, creative wit and laser-guided understanding of our political landscape. This revolution of Nov. 4 would have pleased her greatly that so many people are finally starting to "get it."

Perhaps her spirit and that of Paul Wellstone, of Paul Newman and of Bernie Mac are all seeing us to a brighter, better day.

YES, WE CAN! SI SE PUEDE!
Molly Ivins and Lou Dobbs provide chapter and verse on the ways in which those rights Americans take for granted are being limited or actually removed and what the results are for each of us. We tend to believe that if we're "good citizens" we will never run into the roadblocks the current administration is setting up for us. And for many of us, this may indeed work out, but for a tragic minority (and I'm not talking ethnicity here), this is not true at all. Rights taken from some can be taken from all, and this book spells it out in detail. Must reading.
Molly's last book is up to her previous ones, but the audio version was not. I loved to hear Molly's narration in her previous works, and I thought Liz Smith would be a perfect choice to honor Molly's last work. Unfortuneately, Liz has a voice that is annoying. To make things worse, she reads with a constant note of hesitation in her voice, no confidence at all. Molly was all about confidence, writing about the scary and the ridiculous, confident that sane people will prevail in the end. They would have done better having Lou Dubose or Jim Hightower read. If you haven't read "Bill of Wrongs", by all means read the book, but don't listen to it.
The human race lost a real treasure when Molly Ivins ceased to be. This is her last book, completed shortly after her death by her coauthor, Lou Dubose. Let us hope that it will not be his last book, because, altho he lacks Molly's rapier wit, what he has to say is still essential reading for effective patriotism. Anyone who loves these United States should read this book, and also The Assault on Reason, by Al Gore.

For further background on chapter 7, read The Shock Doctrine The Rise of Disaster Capitalism by Naomi Klein, wherein you will come to understand how Shrub, who calls himself a Christian, could veto a bill that would have reaffirmed the illegality of torture. (WHO WOULD JESUS TORTURE?)

Have enjoyed reading all of Molly Ivins books. She passed away much too soon.
Molly Ivins' last book, her third about GW Bush written with Lou Dubose, has all the Ivins trademarks, such as her keen observations, her sense of outrage and disbelief, coupled with her Texas sense of humor. In "Shrub" and "Bushwhacked" the two authors did their best to warn America about Bush and his cronies. In this third outing, it's clear things are going terribly wrong in America and our very system of government is undergoing a radical change. The things Ivins and Dubose write about in this book should not be happening in America, but they are.

In several of the cases presented here, there's a common thread the victims of harrassment by the Bushies are Muslim. It appears that the Muslims are well on their way to becoming for America what the Jews were to Germany after Hitler took power. And things aren't looking too good for others unwilling to toe the Bush party line either.

This book is powerful. I had to read it a bit at a time so I could give it some thought between sections. We should all thank Lou Dubose and the publishers for continuing with this project and bringing the book to the public.
I miss Molly Ivins. Politically astute, and funny, funny, funny.
