Book Reviews of Goodnight Bush: A Parody
Book Review: Great, albeit dark political humor
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are politically conscious, knowledgeable and concerned about the actions of former President George W. Bush, then you will find this book disturbingly funny. The scenario is George W. Bush in a flight suit lying on a bed and in the process of saying some evening remembrances. The text is a series of "Goodnight . . . " phrases, some of which are:
*) Goodnight towers
*) Goodnight balance of powers
*) Goodnight constitution
*) Goodnight democracy
*) Goodnight privacy
All of which refer to actions taken by the Bush administration that were of questionable legality or even effectiveness.
There is a great deal of subtlety in the sequence of images of George W. Bush lying on his bed and you must look closely to see them all. Some of the sub-images are:
*) Vice President Dick Cheney in a rocking chair in the role of a parent
*) A fox
*) Broken toy soldiers
*) An elephant in a sexual position astride a donkey
*) A painting of war profiteers
The best parody is an expression of genius, which is how I would describe this short book.
Summary of Goodnight Bush: A Parody
A brilliant parody of the children's classic Goodnight Moon, built around the coming end of the worst presidency ever.Goodnight Bush: An Unauthorized Parody is a hilarious and poignant visual requiem for the Bush administration. In it we see a childlike George W. Bush tucked safely away in the confines of his own room with all of the toys he's willfully destroyed, abused, or defaced. Complete with a quiet Dick Cheney whispering "hush," this bedtime story lets us finally say goodnight to the disaster that was the last eight years.
