Bullshit Artist: The 9/11 Leadership Myth (Paperback or Softback)

No Conspiracy Theories in This Book-Just a True Story of Spleen Clutching Incompetence, Forehead Slapping Stupidity and Ear Sweating Cowardice. Tough on terrorism? Strong on defense? Leadership? Not quite. Compared to George W. Bush's gutless and incompetent performance on 9/11, Brownie looks like General Patton. The President pulled a FEMA for 102 minutes while al Qaeda struck with impunity-but since W's actions on September 11 were largely ignored by the national media-most people weren't even aware of the little man's 7 minutes of ass sitting paralysis in an elementary school classroom until Michael Moore's film "Fahrenheit 9/11" exposed the frozen leader of the free world-let alone know about Bush's clueless loitering-cutting and running, and terrorist appeasing for the other 95 minutes of the attacks. Ron Schalow's "Bullshit Artist" provides a full account of the President's lollygagging, decision avoiding and hiding in the heartland on the tragic day-in Bush's own words and the tortuously twisty recollections of the White House brain trust-Card, Rove, Fleischer, Hughes, Rice, Cheney & Rumsfeld-plus the traditional bushel basket of excuses that ensue after every Bush failure. And Bush supporters like Bill Sammon, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, John Podhoretz, David Frum and Dick Morris also chime in to provide cover for the cowardly Commander-in-Chief-evidently more concerned about the image of their beloved politician than the security of the American people. Then, as if his flaccid failures on 9/11 weren't shameful enough, a delusional GW boasts of his defense prowess at least 19 times per day in the following years-whoring the terrorist attacks and 3,000 deaths on his watch to his immense political benefit-a Bullshit Artist at his best.

The similarities between the President of the United States and the author of Bull$#@! Artist are eerie.

Business: Like George W. Bush, the author drove a handful of businesses into the ground—he was unable to parlay his failures into millions of dollars like the president, however.

Booze: Mr. Schalow is also a recovering alcoholic with a DUI, but he kicked the habit at age 35, five years earlier in life than Bush—consequently saving billions more brain cells than the former governor.

War: Both men were scared to go to Viet Nam—and didn’t.

Corporate Welfare: Schalow also tried to con taxpayers into building him a new baseball park, albeit in North Dakota, and condemn the 25,000 square miles of wheat surrounding the stadium via eminent domain—but was told to get a haircut and go to hell. Bush had better luck with the citizens of Arlington, TX.

Education: The author had better grades than the Chief Executive, but blew his college trust fund on a 1963 Oldsmobile 98—1200 pounds heavier than the modern day Hummer with auto-flattening tires—and was unable to follow in Bush’s footsteps at Andover, Yale and Harvard.

Mental Health: Mr. Bush runs 4 miles every day and exercises like a maniac to build up the levels of serotonin and endorphins in his system to fight depression and anxiety, while the author swallows Paxil, Klonopin and Neurontin to reach a chemical balance.

Drugs: Like the president, Schalow purposely inhaled marijuana smoke, but unlike Bush he unequivocally denies ever snorting cocaine or operating a meth lab.
