“Tom Oliphant is one of the true chroniclers of America. He uses
his wit and wisdom to offer critical, insightful, and loving
observations of our politics, culture, and society. He is the Will
Rogers of our time.” ---Madeleine Albright
The collapse of the Bush presidency is a broadly acknowledged
fact. By any fair assessment, much of the past seven years has been
disastrous. The challenge is to understand why.
From domestic policy to international goofs, from soaring energy
prices to the health care crisis---Thomas Oliphant tackles it all,
closely inspecting the initial projections and promises of Bush and
his key senior of?cials, and the ways in which they lost control of
these well-publicized and overcon?dent plans. By comparing
their rhetoric to their dismal record, Oliphant provides a historic
analysis of the Bush administration---showing how a system so
seemingly competent and mechanized could fail so miserably, and
with such frequency. "Utter Incompetents" is at its heart a
searching look at the George W. Bush administration, its policies,
and the legacy that it will leave behind on January 20, 2009.
