Overview

According to bestselling political commentator Molly Ivins, America has been Bushwhacked by a president who has applied the same flawed strategies he used in governing Texas to running the largest superpower in the world. Ivins examines Bush's record in Texas and nationally to show how his economic policies devastated the Texas budget and now threaten the same for America, how he has waged war on terrorism by means of unprecedented challenges to our civil liberties, and how he has decimated the gains the country has made in environmental protections, health and safety standards, and foreign relations. In focusing attention on the September 11 attacks, we have been distracted from the deterioration of American life and other threats of greater magnitude.

Sure to delight the president's critics and madden his fans. --T he Washington Post Book World <br> Ivins and Dubose are worthy heirs of the honorable tradition of muckraking. --Paul Krugman, The New York Review of Books <br> A thorough (and thoroughly researched) condemnation of our 43rd president's domestic policy. . . .
