From carrie at stayfreemagazine.org Mon Jun 11 14:17:08 2001 From: carrie at stayfreemagazine.org (Carrie McLaren) Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2001 14:17:08 -0400 Subject: Stay Free! | The Bush Dyslexicon Message-ID: Hello, Just want to briefly plug a new book I was fortunate enough to work on this past winter: The Bush Dyslexicon, by Mark Crispin Miller. Although the thought of reading a book about George W. Bush is about as appealing as eating chalk, you should make an exception for this. Reading Mark Miller is always a humbling experience...he can tease out meaning from the most unlikely of sources--in this case, the stump speeches, interviews, and offhand comments of George W. Bush--and allow you to seen them in a whole new light. If you have read _Boxed In_ or the essay Miller contributed to _Watching Television_, "Deride and Conquer" (Todd Gitlin, ed.), then you know what I'm talking about.. ...and if not, you can read this excerpt: http://metalab.unc.edu/stayfree/BushDysl.doc It's a fairly representative sample, consisting of Bush's own words, punctuated by Miller's commentary. carrie - - - - - - MARK CRISPIN MILLER "The Bush Dyslexicon" book tour Tues.
