Product Description
A brilliant parody of the children's classic Goodnight Moon, built around the coming end of the worst presidency ever.
Goodnight Bush: An Unauthorized Parody is a hilarious and poignant visual requiem for the Bush administration. In it we see a childlike George W. Bush tucked safely away in the confines of his own room with all of the toys he's willfully destroyed, abused, or defaced. Complete with a quiet Dick Cheney whispering "hush," this bedtime story lets us finally say goodnight to the disaster that was the last eight years.

 Funny and painfully truthful September 1, 2008
"Goodnight Bush" is the epitome of parody, but the object of its ridicule is not the beloved children's book whose appearance it mimics so successfully. With humor and painful accuracy, the authors point out the horrors of the Bush presidency using the soothing cadences and simple rhymes of the classic bedtime story, replacing the bunny in the great green room with George Bush dressed in the famous flight suit he wore when declaring "Mission Accomplished" after the invasion of Iraq, and replacing the "quiet old lady whispering 'hush'" with a wizened Dick Cheney in the rocking chair. This book makes an excellent gift for anyone with a well-developed sense of irony who has suffered through the past 8 years and still hopes for change.
Very Clever September 1, 2008
When I saw the ad for this book, I thought it was hilarious and had to have it. In looking at it, though cleverly done, it was sobering and left me sad. What a mess our country is in and that is no laughing matter.
 doesn't work on the kindle August 31, 2008
It is one of the few times that the Kindle version probably ruined an otherwise great book. Stick with the hardcopy.
Not for the Intelligent August 30, 2008

If you are a thinking person this book is not for you. Putting it bluntly t is a repeat of what the presss has been hyping since President Bush took office. What a meanspirited ripoff. But if you are one of the sheep go ahead and waste your money.
Parody? August 29, 2008

This book clearly appears to be a copyright violation and there is some chance amazon could be contributorily liable. For a book to be a parody and a fair use under the Copyright Act the "work" must be a parody of the underlying work. A book making fun of Goodnight Moon would fit this description.A book using elements so Goodnight Moon but making fun of something else entirely is not a parody. No amount of claiming it is a parody makes it one and no amount if saying it is unrelated to the original will excuse the infringement if one exists.
