However, it is certain that however much Bush may sometimes seem like a buffoon, he is also powered by massive, suppressed anger towards anyone who challenges the extreme, fanatical beliefs shared by him and a significant slice of his citizens - in surveys, half of them also agree with the statement "the Bible is the actual word of God and is to be taken literally, word for word".



Oliver James's book They F*** You Up - How to survive family life is published by Bloomsbury, priced £7.99.

I had always had a sneaking suspicion that Bush's extreme piety, and insistance on "values" and "morality" were a reaction formation to his earlier life of licentiousness. I just don't "buy" his contention that he "found God" in his 40's.

Perhaps
Could it be that his sexual drive manifests itself by fuggin' over America and other countries?
