The Bush's unbound

George W. Bush man of letters, George W. Bush movie reviewer, George W. Bush comedian. George W. Bush unbound!

Everything George is here for our examination, as the folks at Slate save us the
C$ 27.97 needed to purchase Kitty Kelley's The Family: the real story of the Bush Dynasty.

Slate take the highlights (or lowlights depending on who is doing the reading) of Ms. Kelley's latest efforts in celebrolism (i made that word up, so should it take off all credit to moi, svp) and list them one after another like a Cole's notes primer. (Dubya for Dummies Maybe?)

Papa Bush and Grand Poppy Bush have their fair share of exploits recounted in capsule form as well. As do Mama Bush whose many familial pet names are revealed for us. Ah yes the Bush's up close, bawdy and crude.

A must read for fellow celebrities as the likes of Henry Kissinger, Dan Rather and Vladimir Putin will find their ears burning from the pages of the Family. Papa and Mama Bush and all the kiddies have an opinion on everything and everyone. From Paula Zahn's legs to Bill Clinton's uh, reproductive plumbing everything is up for discussion around the Bushs' dinner table. Take in one rowdy tale after another, as those Crazy Bushies tell it like they see it.

Slate brings us up to speed and puts us in the know. And best of all nobody will see us leafing through the book.
