From the creators of WhiteHouse.org comes the guide to success, profit, and eternal salvation in Bush's Executive Branch WhiteHouse.org, the Internet's most popular political parody, busts the Executive Mansion's elegant doors wide open to take you on a hilariously eye-popping, completely top secret tour through the most guarded-and ridiculous-people, places, prophesies, and policies of the otherwise "on message" world of the George W. Bush Administration. The White House Inc. Employee Handbook reveals the secret life of the White House staffer-from his introduction to senior management (Dick Cheney, commander of the Commander-in-Chief; Donald Rumsfeld, secretary of the smackdown; etc...) to the official Bush policy on hot-button issues (ex: homelessness: eliminate the glut of shelters so these people can finally live up to their name). Equal parts shrewd business lampoon and political send-up, this is wickedly astute satire at its finest-funny and gutsy, with a frightening, yet familiar ring of that oft-forgotten thing called truth. Welcome to The White House Inc., patriotic worker bee-you picked the winning team!
I was pretty skeptical when I picked this up, but I have to say, this really is an amazingly well-crafted piece of STINGING political satire. The writer SKEWERS the entire Bush klan with no mercy. It's definitely R-Rated fare though, so I wouldn't let the kiddies at it. But if you're craving a wickedly hilarious election year read, I think this definitely belongs on our short list. (Unless you're Barbara Bush, in which case this book justm ight make your head explode!)
Thank You Cheney

The media attention around Cheney's attempted legal action against whitehouse.org and banning of the website by a grade school drove me to the hilarious website and I was instantly hooked. The sharp, biting wit of the whitehouse.org site is captured beautifully in this book and the print medium allows the authors to add new depth to their unrelenting ridicule of Bush and his cronies. Even Bush supporters will find it hard to suppress the sudden fits of laughter that certain passages in this book provoke. More than just funny, the book is a frighteningly poignant examination of the monetary agendas and warped sense of ethics that infest the executive branch.
Thank you Dick Cheney!

In Hilarious Humor is revealed the Terrifying Truth:

I see that the frightened Bush lap dogs have already come snarling. In contradistinction to them, I've actually read this fabulous book. It is - by far - the funniest book I've devoured in a long while. In ripping the coy illusions spun by Karl Rove (and dutifully parroted by our truth-adverse President) into colorful confetti and creating an outrageous, unvarnished version of the Bush White House, this book comes perilously close to revealing the nastiest and most deceitful administration in the history of our great country. While you with howl with laughter, your joy will be tempered by the realization that this book's less amusing, more conniving counterpart truly exists in Washington.
