Synopses & Reviews
From celebrated political satirist Paul Slansky comes this comical compendium of quizzes filled with hundreds of questions and answers on the personal and political life of George W.
More than a simple test-your-knowledge trivia book, the George W. Bush Quiz Book gives readers a clever and irreverent inside look at our Commander in Chief, revealing the truth behind the spin–no matter how ridiculous or embarrassing. The result is a hilarious and hair-raising crash course in everything Dubya. From his young life and years at Yale, to his Texas days in the oil business and the governor business, to his controversial ascension to the presidency and turbulent term in the White House, George's life is filled with plenty of intriguing material. But Paul Slansky doesn’t stop there. He goes on to skewer the entire Bush family, as well as his friends and political associates, including Dick Cheney, John Ashcroft, and Donald Rumsfeld, leaving no one safe from his scathing wit.
Thoroughly researched and devastatingly funny, the George W. Bush Quiz Book nails the facts that most of the media has let slip by, informing readers about everything they didn’t want to know—and were definitely afraid to ask—about the most powerful man in the world.
