Reader Review of House of Saud,House of Bush: this is a joke, right?
Edited on Fri Mar-19-04 09:01 PM by librechik
First consumer review up at Amazon.com for the sensational new book by Craig Unger, Pulitzer prize winning investigative journalist.


excerpt:
(1 star)
Hated this book and the author!, March 18, 2004
Reviewer: A reader from USA
I cannot tell you how much I hated this book and urge you to boycott it. I am a lifelong Republican and activist. My party stands for those who are successful, Christian minded, and controlling those who want to hurt American business.

- First of all, how dare you oppose Bush in not supporting of the glorious war and Crusade against non-Christian infidels? What's all this bull about WMDs? Saddam killed, so we killed, might makes right in any sensible mind. So all those who are against Bush are going to hell.
- Democrats are all renegade swine, quite frankly, and it's a crying shame they are even allowed to vote. Jesus would have supported Bush in his war against muslim sheep and cutting funds for people who are disabled, crippled, retarded, old, etc. It's their own fault, Bush didn't make these losers the way they are.
- So Bush didn't win the popular election; God wanted him to be President, God didn't trust the 'popular majority' and God wanted a military hero like Bush in office. Thank God for our unbiased Supreme Court.
- Furthermore, how dare you show narrow-minded animosity at Bush when he is a self made man. Don't believe those who say the US doesn't have enough jobs. If the Mexicans can find jobs, so can you. Republicans get better jobs because we know the game, know how to take advantage of the system, and because of our Godly contacts.

You should buy Anne Coulter books instead... "

More "hillarity" here:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/074325337X/qid=1079747429/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/102-4474599-9419329

while you're there, I suggest you purchase this book. If "Reader from USA" hated it, it's got to be the best book ever! (I purchased 2 copies)

1. freepers often write reviews of books before they're even released
Quite funny. But you can be sure they never read the books they give bad reviews to.

4. That almost sounds like tongue in cheek humor,
just because it's so stupid. Could be serious, though, I don't know.

8. I take it as complete sarcasm myself
There is no way anyone could believe those things and be able to manage a computer.

10. I take it as someone parodying Repugs.
I found it hysterical, especially the part about him admiring Newt. Every statement essentially parodied Repug values. And everyone knows, including the most right wing folk, that Bush never had to work for anything in his life. Then he only printed the most outrageous Coulter quotes. While I'm sure there are many pugs who feel this way to some degree, if you think about it, the entire review said nothing about the contents of the book.
