Thirteen beautiful women versus one hideous president.
Babes Against Bush is taking protest politics in an unlikely direction. A new group from southeastern Michigan, B.A.B. is looking to attract attention to a cause–unseating George W. Bush in 2004–and hoping to spur more people to take notice of some basic facts about the Bush Administration by using the venerable, politically incorrect vehicle of the “pinup girl” as the medium for its message.
Why? “Because hot chicks hate him too.”
“What could be more un-American than that election-hijacking, economy-wrecking, war-mongering chimp George W. Bush?” the group asks on its website. “What could be more All-American than thirteen beautiful young women, exercising their first amendment right to thumb their nose at our bozo president?”
The result is the Official Babes Against Bush Regime Change Calendar, which counts off the number of days remaining until “the moving vans pull up to the White House.” Lavishly produced in glossy color, each of the thirteen months’ pages feature one anti-Bush babe as well as well-informed facts and figures detailing the failures and lies of the Bush Administration.

There are also numerous good Bush books out there currently, even beyond the deservedly best-selling troika of Michael Moore, Molly Ivins and Al Franken.
Nation Books‘ new release The Bush Hater’s Handbook: A Guide to the Most Appalling Presidency of the Past 100 Years is a great gift for anyone looking to arm themselves with useful talking points on the Bush Administration as we head into the presidential season. It’s also a concise, entertaining read arranged alphabetically by topic.
Nation Washington editor David Corn’s The Lies of George W. Bush: Mastering the Politics of Deception, recently released by Crown Publishers, offers a full account of the falsehoods, fibs and fabrications of the Bush presidency to date. This fact-driven journalistic account is a scorching indictment of a man who claimed he would “restore” honesty to the Oval Office.

The Bush Administration did more than lie in the rush to war with Iraq: the pattern of obfuscation, misstatement and half-retraction amounted to a calculated entrapment of the American people.
A new book co-written by Nation contributing editor Robert Scheer, his son and Alternet editor Christopher Scheer, and Alternet senior editor Lakshmi Chaudhry offers the first analysis of this pattern of deception, underscoring that the move to war was a highly managed marketing campaign conducted by a small group of influential extremists inside the Bush Administration.
The Five Biggest Lies Bush Told Us About Iraq is an insightful primer exposing the mendacious misinformation campaign George Bush’s White House used to secure the support of Congress, the media and a majority of Americans for a preemptive invasion and occupation of Iraq.
A new documentary film offers far more proof, if any were still necessary, that the Bush Administration‘s extremism is severely compromising America’s national security interests. Featuringnever-before-seen interviews with more than twenty national security experts–including former Ambassador Joe Wilson; ex-CIA chief Stansfield Turner; weapons inspector David Albright; CIA operative Robert Baer and The Nation‘s own David Corn—Uncovered is a compelling call to action.
