Description: "The lazier members of the national press and various media pundits often refer to Jeb Bush as a 'successful' former Florida governor. But no one knows better than Stephen Goldstein that Jeb's eight years in office were a disaster, from which the state hasn't even begun to recover. Goldstein became an op-ed columnist for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel in 1999--the same year G.W.'s younger brother became governor--and, ever since, has been setting the record straight about Jeb's failed education reforms, extremist social agenda, trashing of the Constitution, packing the courts with right-wing ideologues, challenging our historic separation of church and state, destroying the middle class, and privatizing taxpayer-funded agencies and services for private profit. With Jeb having the unmitigated gall to think that the U.S. needs a third Bush in the White House, Jeb Bush Outed is essential reading for everyone who cares about not letting Dick Cheney and the neocons mess with the country again; keeping the Supreme Court from getting an overwhelming radical, right-wing majority; and sending Jeb the clear message that two Bushes in the White House were more than enough"--Provided by publisher.
