RedditA plethora of inside histories of Bush and the war have helped shape the political debate in recent months. Taking a walk on the lighter side is a new humor book called Bad President by R.D. Rosen, Harry Prichett and Bob Battles. The authors, not coincidentally, created a line of bestselling humor books for Workman Publishing called Bad Cat and Bad Dog (captioned photos of weird pets) and Bad Baby (enfants terribles).
