Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." With signature remarks like these, it's hardly surprising that George W. Bush's malapropisms have become renowned around the world. Editions of Bushisms have become bestsellers in Germany, France, and Italy, and they remain as popular in the United States as ever. Jacob Weisberg, faithful scribe, here presents the best of the latest crop: "There's only one person who hugs the mothers and the widows, the wives and the kids upon the death of their loved one. Others hug but having committed the troops, I've got an additional responsibility to hug and that's me and I know what it's like." "I'm the master of low expectations." "First, let me make it very clear, poor people aren't necessarily killers. Just because you happen to be not rich doesn't mean you're willing to kill. Review:"As Franken gleefully points out, Slate editor Weisberg has found a true gravy train, discovering enough previously uncollected nonsensical utterances by President Bush to fill a third volume." Publishers Weekly Synopsis:The incredible disconnection between mouth and meaning continues in this latest crop of befuddled Bushisms, which is sure to join its predecessors at the top of bestseller lists. Give him a microphone, a podium, even a teleprompter...and he's off! George W. Bush fans and foes alike just can't get enough of Dubya's headline-grabbing gaffes and malapropisms — and the hits just keep on coming. In this third installment of Bushisms, Dubya's unique brand of verbal contortionism is more hilarious and enjoyable than ever. Here is Bushspeak in all its mindboggling glory, from the scrambled sayings ("Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again") to the vocabulary stretches ("the embetterment of mankind"), to the almost Zen-like statements ("I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn't here"). Whether he's talking about government, leadership, or subjects that defy any attempt at classification, Bush's distinctive way with words shines through on every page of this entertaining collection. It's a book that everyone will want to buy twice — once to give and once to keep. Love him or hate him, it's impossible not to laugh. Synopsis:In this third installment of Bushisms, Dubya's unique brand of verbal contortionism is more hilarious and enjoyable than ever.
