It doesn't quite live up to the "makes Bush look bad" rantings from the liberals AND the "real" conservatives, does it?

I'm about half-way through with it, and I would say it's a very candid book, and one that tries neither to pan Geo. W. Bush, nor spin to build him up. What it conveys is what's there -- the history, and the insights to real events. The first year, warts and all. But overall, it protrays Bush in a positive light, which is justified. I was impressed with the background information on Jim Jeffords and the real reason he jumped. Frum has done a credible job reporting the inside story, something the mainstream press didn't when Jeffords jumped. The book portrays the pitched battle between the media and any Republican administration. More evidence that the concept of an unbiased press is fantasy.

From the times I have seen Frum on the talking head shows, he seems a little surprised that the liberal hacks have taken things out of context and tried to portray the book as a hatchet job.

Perhaps he'll see the light.

The explanation he gave of Clinton's tax hike and the resulting "surplus" was so simple even I understood it.
