Unfit Commander: Texans for Truth Take On George W. Bush
Buzzflash Reviews

Talk about a timely book that was printed a year ago!
The
nomination of Harriet Miers, Bush's latest consigliore, is not only a
testament to how the Busheviks are organized along the lines of the
Mafia, which is to say that Omerta takes precedence over any claim to
competence, or in this case even any prior experience as a judge.
What
makes this book – which was a belated counter-attempt to counter the
lies of the Rove-orchestrated “Swift Boat Liars” in the last election –
so immediately relevant is that Miers was paid by the Bush campaign
when he was Governor of Texas to “look over” his National Guard record
for “trouble spots.” Some claim that she was even party to
“eliminating” troublesome portions of the record. But the biggest
accusation was that she used a Texas state position to basically
provide “hush money” to a man who could verify that George was given
preference for a position in the Texas Air National Guard.
Miers
has proven herself a total Bush loyalist and crony. She meets Bush's
only requirement in a candidate for any position: complete and
uncompromising loyalty to Bush and the ruling Republican junta.
