Ted Rall is best known for saying today what will become conventional wisdomtomorrow. His GENERALISSIMO EL BUSHO is the ultimate chronicle of the mostpolarizing presidency in modern American history, a brilliantly tragicomicweek-by-week dissection of the Bush Administration’s follies and crimes as seen byAmerica’s most courageous editorial cartoonist and political writer.
Ted Rall, who has traveled and reported from the world’s hottest troublespots, recognizes a dictator when he sees one. And he doesn’t scare easily. Havingseized power extraconstitutionally, Bush and his cabal of corrupt businessmenmade it obvious that they intended to rule with ruthless zeal. Unlike most ofhis fellow journalists, however, Rall refused to be cowed–even in the wakeof 9/11. Others came out of the woodwork during 2003, but Ted Rall’s ferociousdenunciations of our ersatz president and his assaults on our preciousfreedoms stood virtually alone during the flag-waving weeks and months following theattacks on New York and Washington. And unlike every other commentator, Rallused two different forms of media–cartoons and essays–to speak brutallyhonest truth to power even as he fended off death threats.
Brave, uncompromising and fiercely devoted to traditional American values offreedom and integrity, Ted Rall’s GENERALISSIMO EL BUSHO collects the best ofhis hilarious cartoons and brutally honest essays during the Bush years.
