Has anyone read Mark Crispin Miller's "Fooled Again"?

[Matilda]

I'm looking for a book to have sent out from Amazon to an American friend.

This book hasn't been released in Australia so I haven't been able to check it out myself, but
I'd love to hear from anyone who's read it.

Would it be a good Christmas present for a Democrat-voting friend?

3. Haven't read "Fooled Again" but did read "The Bush Dyslexicon"

which is a great book. I would like to read "Fooled Again" though.

4. I've read Miller's "Bush trilogy", as I call it:

The Bush Dyslexicon, Cruel and Unusual, and Fooled Again.

I enjoyed the Dyslexicon the most, because it was easily the most hopeful, and balanced sourcing, humor, and an almost-narrative style. Cruel and Unusual was, despite his obsessive detailing of his sources, the most emotional and personal of the three--I got the feeling he was trying to be objective and wanted to come to a conclusion based solely on facts, but had a hard time repressing his own rage at the subject. Fooled Again is a bit of a dry read, but only because it relies so heavily on actual facts and figures, rendering it nearly impossible to argue against.

5. Yes it is must reading

I read it last spring and had MCM sign my copy in August.
