Ted Rall is best known for saying today what will become
conventional wisdom tomorrow. His GENERALISSIMO EL BUSHO is the
ultimate chronicle of the most polarizing presidency in modern
American history, a brilliantly tragicomic week-by-week dissection
of the Bush Administration's follies and crimes as seen by
America's most courageous editorial cartoonist and political
writer.
Ted Rall, who has traveled and reported from the world's hottest
trouble spots, recognizes a dictator when he sees one. And he
doesn't scare easily. Having seized power extraconstitutionally,
Bush and his cabal of corrupt businessmen made it obvious that they
intended to rule with ruthless zeal. Unlike most of his fellow
journalists, however, Rall refused to be cowed--even in the wake of
9/11. Others came out of the woodwork during 2003, but Ted Rall's
ferocious denunciations of our ersatz president and his assaults on
our precious freedoms stood virtually alone during the flag-waving
weeks and months following the attacks on New York and Washington.
And unlike every other commentator, Rall used two different forms
of media--cartoons and essays--to speak brutally honest truth to
power even as he fended off death threats.
Brave, uncompromising and fiercely devoted to traditional
American values of freedom and integrity, Ted Rall's GENERALISSIMO
EL BUSHO collects the best of his hilarious cartoons and brutally
honest essays during the Bush years.
