Molly Ivins's follow-up to the hilarious bestseller Shrub proves once again why the wry Texas humorist is not in line to head up George W. Bush's fan club; but what sets it apart from other anti-Dubya screeds is the author's incisive analysis of how Bush's crony-centered domestic policies are adversely affecting average Americans. Obviously, unquestioning Bush supporters are advised to steer clear, but this is a well-researched, well-reasoned, often painful-to-read indictment of the Bush administration.

Bushwhacked brings to light the horrendous legacy of the Bush tax cut, his increasingly appalling environmental record, his administration's involvement in the Enron scandal, and the real Bush foreign policy - botched nation building in Kabul and Baghdad, alienation of former allies - and, unfortunately, much more. Ivins and Dubose go beyond the too frequently soft media coverage of Bush to show us just how damaging his policies have been to ordinary Americans - "the Doug Jones Average," rather than the Dow Jones Average. Bushwhacked is filled with sharp observation, humor, and compassion for the people often ignored by the federal government and the Washington press corps.
