In the April 2004 issue of "Vanity Fair", Harold Bloom (yep, *that* HB)
has written a three page piece titled:
"MacBush, Fragments of The Tragicomical History of Dubya the Great, King
of America, and Subsequently Emperor of Oceania"
There is also a full page caricature of the "Dramatis Personae" by
Edward Sorel.
Btw, in this same issue there is a lengthy article by Vicky Ward, titled
"The Inconvenient Sharon Bush" concerning her messy divorce from Neil
Bush. It's enough to cause Ashcroft to have a prayer-fit. |

The current issue of *The Economist* has on the cover a
full-length photo of Dubya with arrows pointing to various
body parts. Starting from the top these are inscribed:
All hat and no plans for post-war Irak
Never hears a spending plan he does not like
The miscommunicator
Too close to vested interests
Strong, but not humble
Budget belt far too loose
Hot air on WMD
No cojones on Palestine and Israel
Weak-kneed on trade: farms, steel, sugar, cotton ...
Tramples on civil rights<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> |

Exactly. The barbs are clever and spot on and differed from NL's and
*MAD* even though based on the same idea.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Bloom knight errants Bush |
