THE MAD WAR ON BUSH is some very funny stuff about our current president that I think people of all ages would enjoy. There's a lot of variety here, with everything from comic strip spoofs to photos with made-up dialogue, to a Dr. Seuss version of the White House. One of my favorite segments is entitled "MAD's Handy Glossary to the War On Terror," where, for instance, Mission Accomplished is defined as "The White House definition of knocking over a statue" (Saddam's, if you recall). Another of my faves is "The Bush Campaign's TV Commercial if He Was Running Against Jesus," which has W criticizing some things that Jesus actually said. A riot! The two fold-out posters in here, which each measures 16 X 10.5 inches, are nice extras that I've already framed for my wall.
One has Bush as Uncle Sam, holding a set of headphones to one ear while saying "I Hear You Thanks to Unwarranted Wiretapping," and the other is the Iraq War made to look like a Star Wars poster. I did give the book 4 stars, though, because while much of it is great stuff, I don't feel like it all is. And if you already buy every copy of MAD Magazine, I believe all or most of this book is reprinted from there. However, I should note that MAD's editor, John Ficarra, says in the preface that MAD pokes fun at all presidents, not just conservative ones. OK, whatever you say, John!
