Crazy, wierd, or just plain fun. But certainly not safe for work!

Goodnight, Bush!

The New York Times bestseller GoodNight Bush is a hilarious and poignant requiem for the Bush administration. This bedtime story lets us laugh at—and finally say goodnight to—the disaster of the last eight years.

On the first page we see the President tucked in bed in a room with the same bright colors as perennial children's book “Goodnight Moon.” He is smiling, but all around him are things that should give him pause: In the fireplace burn the ballots from the 2000 election; a small figure of bin Laden replaces the little mouse as it scurries unnoticed about the room; the President’s pajamas are the combat costume in which he claimed victory in Iraq; on his bedside table is the children’s book “My Pet Goat.”

Parodies fill each picture: a pull-toy of Colin Powell gets crushed under Cheney’s rocker and a picture of an Abu Ghraib torture scene sits on the bedside table.

You may not want to read this to your kids (it will scare the Bajeebus out of them) but you'll get a good laugh every time you or your friends pick it up.
