If you like political cartoons that hit HARD try "The Bush Junta"
The Bush/Nazi stuff at the beginning is enough to drive one into a apoplectic rage.

Twenty-five international cartoonists have researched,
written, drawn and laid bare the truth on
George W. Bush, his family's dynasty,
their sordid business connections and various wars,
and the Bush regime itself--in 24 humorous,
witty, acerbic, and factual chapters.

A primer to Bushian corruption and malfeasance,
The Bush Junta includes chapters on
Gulf wars I and II, the S&L scandal, the 2000 presidential coup,
the Bush record on the environment and civil liberties,
September 11, the Guantanamo camp,
and profiles of such sinister figures as
Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, John Ashcroft,
and Karl Rove.
Plus a series of bumper-sticker sized flyers
that you can reproduce and surreptitiously attach
to the backs of stalwarts attending
GOP rallies.

3. Definitely a MUST read.
I bought this book in September. Here's my review of it on Amazon:

Kind of along the lines of "The Big Book of Scandal", only focused on one subject, "The Bush Junta" pulls no punches in dissecting a perilously evil cabal of chickenhawks commonly known as Bush's Cabinet.

Hilariously illustrated by such artistic geniuses as Ted Rall, Scott Marshall, Ethan Persoff, the late, great Hack Smith and others, "Junta" chronologically deflowers arguably the most villainous political monarchy of modern times; starting with the infamous Prescott Bush/Nazi connection. It moves on to the Skull & Bones years and then in one of the most chilling chapters, pulls the wool off of GHWB's incredibly corrupt CIA tenure.

More disgusting and very true tales of deceit, corruption and flagrant neo-fascism follow, from the warwhores of the dying-empire stenched PNAC; the collection of shady reptiles known as the Carlyle Group; John Ashcroft's suppressive and incredibly bigoted years as Missouri's attorney general and governor; the megalomaniac warmonger and former Saddam cigar-buddy Donald Rumsfeld; Condoleeza Rice, the supposed genius who ignored a ton of pretty damning intelligence reports that could have thwarted 9-11; and finally, the chief snake and puppetbastard of them all - Dick Cheney.

It's no secret or suprise that the key players of the Idiot-in-Chief's cabinet got their start or influence with the Nixon Administration. Most of the information presented here is probably not new to those that follow underground radio and internet sites. But for those who think the . . . er . . . "liberal media" (meaning, Faux News, which is about as liberal as your average John Birch member, GE-owned NBC, Disney-owned ABC, Viacom-parented CBS and CNN, which has turned into "Faux Jr." :eyes: ) is the be-all, end-all of truth and fairness; for those who are open-minded and won't brush this off as "more commie libtard lies" (it's backed by hundreds of footnotes, statements, excerpts, links and direct quotes, BTW), this will be a blow to the stomach like no other.

At the very least, "The Bush Junta" will make you seriously question why this administration isn't telling you everything you need to know, why the biased cookie-cutter cable media will not call them on the issues that they have failed so miserably at and why you ever trusted your government in the first place.
