Product Description
In the situation room. There was a toy world.And a flight costume.And a picture of--So begins GOODNIGHT BUSH, Erich Origen and Gan Golan's hilarious and poignant requiem for the Bush administration. In this pitch-perfect parody of Goodnight Moon, we see a child-like George W. Bush tucked safely away in the confines of his own room with all the toys he's willfully destroyed, abused, or defaced. Complete with "a quiet Dick Cheney whispering 'hush,'" this bedtime story lets us laugh at--and finally say goodnight to--the disaster of the last eight years.

I bought this book impulsively because the cover made me laugh. The inside pages, however, are not worth the purchase.

Oh, how those who sit on the sidelines of this country (in the yellow zone, for cowards!) criticize and poke fun at those who have the incredibly difficult task of not only leading this country beyond the 9/11 attacks (basically having to clean up the Clinton lack of action in apprehending Osama Bin Laden when we had the chance - maybe a "Goodnight Cigars" book should be in the works - because that's what he was doing at the time!) but also dealing with numskulls who write books such as this one!
If the author gets his wish and Barack HUSSEIN Obama becomes the President, (on the job training for the man!) there better be a sequel by the same critical bunch called, "Goodnight America!"
 Funny and painfully truthful September 1, 2008

"Goodnight Bush" is the epitome of parody, but the object of its ridicule is not the beloved children's book whose appearance it mimics so successfully. With humor and painful accuracy, the authors point out the horrors of the Bush presidency using the soothing cadences and simple rhymes of the classic bedtime story, replacing the bunny in the great green room with George Bush dressed in the famous flight suit he wore when declaring "Mission Accomplished" after the invasion of Iraq, and replacing the "quiet old lady whispering 'hush'" with a wizened Dick Cheney in the rocking chair. This book makes an excellent gift for anyone with a well-developed sense of irony who has suffered through the past 8 years and still hopes for change.

When I saw the ad for this book, I thought it was hilarious and had to have it. In looking at it, though cleverly done, it was sobering and left me sad. What a mess our country is in and that is no laughing matter.
doesn't work on the kindle August 31, 2008

It is one of the few times that the Kindle version probably ruined an otherwise great book. Stick with the hardcopy.
