Big Bush Lies

20 Essays and a List of the 50 Most Telling Lies of President George W. Bush
Edited by Jerry "Politex" Barrett
Available May 2004

Here lies George W. Bush
George W. Bush and his administration have a well-documented difficulty with honesty. President Bush lies. He lies frequently. He distorts the truth, changes the facts, and smirks all the while.

These 20 original essays detail and document lies both outrageously obvious and subtle. Taking Bush to task for his assault on the intelligence of Americans, the distinguished list of contributors includes academics, activists, legal experts, financial leaders, and journalists.

Lies covered include

* Iraq and Weapons of Mass Destruction
* Foreign Policy
* Environment & Energy
* Health & Science
* The Use and Abuse of Religion
* Education
* Women and Minority Policies
* National Security & 9/11
* Bush Campaign Lies
* Pre-Presidential Lies, including Bush's experiences with drunk driving and the controversies and inconsistencies of his National Guard service.

Also included is a handy reference guide to the 50 Most Telling Lies of George W. Bush. Meticulously researched and documented, Big Bush Lies is a must read for the 2004 presidential race and the book to hand out on the campaign trail.

About this book
BIG BUSH LIES has had a gestation period of nearly a year. In May of 2003 RiverWood Books publisher Steven Scholl contacted Bush Watch Editor Jerry "Politex" Barrett with an idea to do a book on Bush lies and publish it prior to the 2004 presidential election. Barrett liked the idea and this book is the result.

The contributors to Big Bush Lies are nearly all full-time professionals, but all have connections to the Internet in one way or the other. A number of lawyers, quite a few academicians, and a handfull of journalists make up the diverse team of writers you'll find in this book. Most are specialists in the content area they have selected for their essay.

The table of contents notes the themes and approaches taken to the subject. The focus is on George W. Bush as a liar, and the book features essays on general political topics, both domestic and foreign. The book also indicates that Bush's lies are part of the fabric of the centuries-old clash between corporations and the state, and CEO Bush is working hard to create a state that, in one way or the other, serves the global needs and desires of corporations. The book ends with a consideration of the effects of Bush's lying upon the ideals of this country. In short, Big Bush Lies does not stop at exposing Bush lies, its ultimate concern is to relate them to both the history of this country and the daily lives of its citizens.
