Summary: Karen Hughes makes Janet Reno look straight!
Review: This woman is a true political hack. What ever happenned to the "Best and the Brightest?" Kerry is looking better and better...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Why bother?
Review: Okay, I voted for Bush in 2000. I thought this book would give me insight into his administration. Instead, I get a book full of fluff and stories about cheeseburgers! Don't waste yer money on this.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Do not waste your money
Review: I just wasted a few bucks on this book, and do I regret it. I voted for Bush in 2000, and I thought this would give me insight to the man. But all I learned is a bunch of wimpy nonsense. Why'd they even bother to write this thing?

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This is so, like, shallow
Review: What a waste of paper. Do not waste your time on this book, unless you want to learn deep facts like what kind of cheese Ms. hughes recommended that George bush put on his cheeseburger on 9/12/2001. good lord, is this what our country has come to? As a life-long Republican, I am appalled.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Ranks with Defoe's Moll Flanders and Beccaccio's Decameron
Review: It has been centuries since a work like this has surfaced. Ms. Hughes both possesses and demonstrates the Ingegno displayed in two different forms in the Decameron. Her wit and devotion to the President allow her through spectacle and action to employ a "successful means of achieving an end used by all types of characters in the Novellas." Even a cursory glance at the book's cover reveals the depth and nature of our esteemed author.

One cannot assess the character of Ms. Hughes without being reminded of Daniel Defoe's Moll Flanders. James Sutherland says in his introduction to the book, "Above all, Moll has the toughness, the resilience, the ability for mere survival that usually go with indomitable energy and great physical stamina. She would always be the one to crawl out unhurt from the debris of a bombed building....Simply as a human animal, Moll is an impressive specimen." So too is Karen Hughes. And unlike the fictional Flanders, Karen is the real thing. She so adroitly demonstrates this quality, when, on September 12, 2001, she advises the President to add cheese to the hamburger he has instructed his staff to procure for him. What a Hughesian moment and indeed appropriate time to find hope in a cloud of despair. Flanders shared her wit and charms on a one on one basis with those she encountered; conversely, Hughes has done much the same not just to Bush but to an entire nation.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Hypocrit
Review: She goes from a normal down-to-earth aid/"confidant" of Bush to a political machine in no time. She has recently been accusing John Kerry of disgracing Vietnam Vets because he protested against the war after serving. Her comments are insensitive and inappropriate considering that her close friend Mr. Bush dodged and didn't serve his time. Reading the book and then hearing her mud slinging shows the hypocritical nature of this book and the Bush employee that she is.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: What a piece of junk
Review: I got this from my sister, and just finished it. It is one of the worst politcal books I have ever read. As a republican, I am totally disgusted by these people who are supposed to be representing my party and my country. This whole thing is all about "the message" instead of improving the state of the country.

In a word, it is junk. Whatever happened to real leaders like Reagan?

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Propoganda and junk
Review: Let's see, according to Hughes:

1. Pro-choice folks are terrorists
2. Only republicans are normal
3. George Bush is our best president ever
4. This administration is flawless

Here we have yet another attempt to dumb down our country. These are the same folks who left a mess in Texas.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Don't Miss This Political Insight!
Review: This is a must read for those interested in the inner workings of the Bush campaign and White House. Not the fluff that I expected, by a long shot. Clearly not a "lightweight", Karen Hughes' own personal background is unique and impressive. This book is a surprisingly good read, fast-paced and highly interesting. Hughes offers insight into GWB's personality and thought processes that make it clear that his rise to the presidency is not a bizarre accident. No one has been in better position to chronicle some of the most formative events of our time. She does so with clarity and focus and wit.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Bush knew Sept. 11 was going to happen!
Review: Karen Hughes delivers a walloping new book that places her in the fine company of Leni Riefenstahl. George Bush loves America, but hates Americans. Karen supplants Karl Rove as the real propaganda mastermind in the Bush Administration. After orchestrating the smear campaign against Richard Clarke, she's equating pro-choice supporters with terrorists.

Well Karen, as a New Yorker who lived through 9/11 I have just one question. Karen, why does George love the Saudis so much?
