Misunderestimated & Overunderappreciated: The George W. Bush Administration as Seen Through the Eyes of the Tribune's Syndicated Editorial Cartoonists

Mark Crispin Miller

3.8/5 ( ratings)

"One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures." —George W. Bush

Whether you've been an unwavering Bush protestor or only recently joined the growing legion of his disapprovers, one thing is certain: at this point, we could all use a good laugh. But the hundreds of political cartoons collected in Misunderestimated & Overunderappreciated: The George W. Bush Administration as Seen Through the Eyes of the Tribune's Syndicated Editorial Cartoonists do more than simply poke fun. They chronologically document George W. Bush's presidency in all its glory, from Bush's quotidian gaffes to his fuzzy relationship with the truth to his unflagging efforts to "embitter" both the nation and the world. Placing the 400-plus cartoons—drawn by sixteen of the Tribune Media Service's cartoonists, nearly half of them Pulitzer Prize–winners—in context are cogent introductions by acclaimed media critic Mark Crispin Miller, and a foreword by Garrison Keillor provides a wry take on this unprecedented presidency. Also included are yearly timelines, contemporary news stories, and quotes from Bush himself that really "resignate."
