Résumé
When it comes to reporting on politics, nobody does it smarter or funnier than bestselling author Molly Ivins. In Shrub, Ivins focuses her Texas-size smarts on the biggest politician in her home state: George Walker Bush, or "Shrub, " as Ivins has nicknamed Bush the Younger. A candidate of vague speeches and an ambiguous platform, Bush led the pack of GOP 2000 presidential hopefuls; "Dubya" could very well be our next president.
This is an original, smart, and accessible analysis of Bush then--one that leaves the "youthful indiscretions" to the tabloids and gets to the heart of his policies and motivations. Ivins is the perfect woman for the job. With her trademark wit and down-home wisdom, Molly Ivins shares three pieces of advice on judging a politician: "The first is to look at the record. The second is to look at the record.
And third, look at the record." In this book, Ivins takes a good, hard look at the record of the man who became the leader of the free world. Beginning with his post-college military career, Ivins tracks Dubya's winding, sometimes unlikely path from a failed congressional bid to a two-term governorship. Bush has made plenty of friends and supporters along the way, including Texas oil barons, evangelist Billy Graham, and co-investors in the Texas Rangers baseball team.
"You would have to work at it to dislike the man, " she writes. But for all of Bush's likeability, Ivins points to a disconcerting lack of political passion from this ascending presidential candidate. In her words, "If you think his daddy had trouble with 'the vision thing, ' wait till you meet this one."Witty, trenchant, and on target, Ivins gives a singularly perceptive and entertaining analysis of George W.
Bush.
