Looking Back On Shrub By Molly Ivins
How did the book hold up to the test of time? Actually, its warnings were quite well made. Shrub was a well done documentation of Bush’s short and skimpy pre-presidential professional and political life. A string of failed businesses financed by his father’s powerful friends followed by a string of successful elections financed by the same people is what brought young Bush to the most powerful political position on the face of the Earth.
