From a five-year period, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Maureen Dowd collects her New York Times columns that center on her ongoing quarrel with George W. Bush and his circle. Insightful and witty, a bit cynical and wisecracking, maybe a little unbalanced in her view of Bush and company as living in another world, Dowd is serious in her critique of Bush as an isolated president whose associates run the whole dang asylum with an agenda of evil empire building. BUSHWORLD, which includes new material written for the book, will certainly appeal to critics of the Bush administration and fans of the liberal columnist.
