Bush Family Fortunes - The Best Democracy Money Can Buy
InBush Family Fortunes: The Best Democracy Money Can Buy,  journalist Greg Palast argues persuasively that George W. Bush was allowed  into the Air National Guard ahead of other applicants due to his political  connections; paints a damning portrait of how over 90,000 Florida voters,  predominantly black, were prevented from voting in the 2000 election;  discusses the number of government contracts handed out to large corporate  donors to Bush's campaign--and that's just the first half-hour. Palast  doesn't have the cinematic savvy of Michael Moore, butBush Family  Fortunesacts as a valuable corollary toFahrenheit 9/11,  exploring certain facets of the same argument--specifically, that the Bush  family is detrimentally tied to both the Saudi Arabian ruling elite and  the American oil industry, with whom they trade influence and money for  mutual benefit. Palast's investigations will stir the blood of any  Democrat and may raise doubts in some Republicans.-- Bret Fetzer
