SHRUB was authored by a man. An Austin journalist. I forget his name. It is not a political attack book. But it's the truth. GWB has a lot of teflon on him. For instance in the Texas Gov debates Anne Richards raised the spectre of GW losing 371 million of his daddy's friends oil money drilling dry wells. Meanwhile GW sold stock early before it went down and made out nicely. Insider trading except when your dad's president I guess. GW just changed the subject, deflected it like he did his coke use and Alabama military non-record. And he got away with it. Clinton has done the same on womanizing. The difference is Clinton works his butt off. So at least you get someone in charge who's minding the store.

American Spirit is wrong-- Shrub is most certainly authored by the infamous Molly Ivins, with the help of Lou Dubose, editor of The Texas Observer, a very liberal publication and one which Molly herself once co-edited. It is disingenuous of AS to pass this off as "important educational reading". There is no question as to Ivins' political leanings and it would have to be read with this in mind-- not taken as unbiased truth. A New York Times review calls Shrub "a useful, opinionated brief for the prosecution." However, one reviewer also points out that even they praise Bush for his education stand in Texas, and the bruising battles he has fought to make progress in this area.
