Book Overview
Even challenging Dubya to a "pronunciation bee" can't save Uncle Duke's weird horse race for the White House. In the end, the former Ambassador passes out in a snow bank while the Cheney Administration kicks into high gear. Predictablistically, the new presidential syntax isn't the only thing that's tortured and strange. Take myvulture.com, an Internet company born and born-again, worth $1 million or $500, depending on whether you ask the CEO or his mother; or look at Joanie Caucus as the turnover in Washington casts her career into play, if not into midlife crisis; or consider J.J. and Zeke, whose pay-per-view, online wedding yields mucho buzz but zero bucks--just like the rest of the Net. Yes, it's a Dubya Dubya Dubya world. Doonesbury just downloads it.

Excellent satire on a major failure of the democratic process, the 2000 presidential election in the
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
In this book, a master political and social satirist aims his wit at the 2000 presidential election between Vice President Al Gore and George W. Bush. Once again, Trudeau's genius comes through as he portrays Bill Clinton as a waffle with a massive dollop of butter on top and syrup dripping off the sides and George W. Bush is portrayed as an asterisk under a large cowboy hat. Many of Bush's major misspeaks are included, for as the relevant cartoon characters point out, it is impossible to improve on them. The absurdity of the results in Florida, from the clear conclusion that a majority of Florida voters intended to vote for Gore to the vote in the Supreme Court that gave Bush the victory are all described in Trudeau's effective cartoon style. This book is an expression of sheer genius about an event that was a colossal failure of the democratic process.

While looking at our society and lifestyles, politics and foibles, Trudeau once again tweaks us, as a whole. Either you love his work or hate it and the anthologies are for his most die-hard fans. These characters are the people you have watched evolve and this is a visit with old friends.
