Title: Excellent satire on a major failure of the democratic process, the 2000 presidential election in the United States
Review: In this book, a master political and social satirist aims his wit at the 2000 presidential election between Vice President Al Gore and George W. Bush. Once again, Trudeau's genius comes through as he portrays Bill Clinton as a waffle with a massive dollop of butter on top and syrup dripping off the sides and George W. Bush is portrayed as an asterisk under a large cowboy hat. Many of Bush's major misspeaks are included, for as the relevant cartoon characters point out, it is impossible to improve on them.The absurdity of the results in Florida, from the clear conclusion that a majority of Florida voters intended to vote for Gore to the vote in the Supreme Court that gave Bush the victory are all described in Trudeau's effective cartoon style. This book is an expression of sheer genius about an event that was a colossal failure of the democratic process.
