Indecent Exposure!

No author in recent memory can tell it like it is, quite the way Ms. Huffington does! With humor, delightful sarcasm (describing VP Cheney as "ever-cheerful"), and stark reality. She has been all over the political map, and, quite like myself, is able to adapt to new information, forming new opinions, and passing them on. She has successfully done that in this book. Read the sub title! She's absolutely correct! This book is a must-read for every American!

Nice try, wrong wing propaganda

Gauging by the one and two star ratings from the radical right, it's obvious that Arrianna has struck a cord of truth. Of course, truth is something foreign to the neo-cons, as we have evidenced during the past eight years. Read the book for yourself, and don't judge according to the right (er, wrong ) wing book review campaigns.

The "Right" is wrong as can be!

Incredible, honest, and thought provoking book... even my staunch, conservative father found this one worth the read. How far into recession does the country need to sink before the "right" realizes they are as wrong as can be?

Converts make the best arguments

It's hard to imagine that just a few short years ago Arianna Huffington was on the "other side" of the political spectrum but her conversion has been welcome and her new book, "Right Is Wrong", is terrific. Like a fifteen-round prizefight without the one-minute intervals inbetween, Huffington relentlessly sheds light on the "right" with alacrity and acuity. From George Bush on down, we are reminded that this administration has been the worst... from the Middle East to the economy, health care and social issues. The central thrust of "Right Is Wrong" is necessarily the war in Iraq. Citing many other prominent exposés about the war, Huffington goes after the major players...Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld & co., and explains why this massive failure occured and continues. It's vintage Huffington...focused and persuasive. Yet, she also provides some great humor, and her descriptions of Tim Russert and Bob Woodward are more than worth it. Huffington finishes her book with a warning about John McCain and the consequences we would face if he were elected. It's Bush's third term, she says, and after almost eight years of "W", the country is ready for a new direction. I highly recommend "Right Is Wrong"... it's a solid, in-depth look at the past few years in Washington. One can only wonder what other things lurk in this administration...things we won't know until January, 2009, after they're out of power. I'm sure Arianna Huffington will be there with a sequel!

Well worth reading

I give every author of politically charged books a shot. As long as there are facts to back up the assertions, I will continue to read. Mrs. Huffington hits the mark again. She isn't one to pander to either side of the political spectrum or cover up when either a Democrat or a Republican has committed a crime or a faux pas. What I like about the book is that she isn't attacking the Republican Party as a whole; but sheds light on those individuals who are harming the GOP from within. The Republican Party of Theodore Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower is gone; it's not the same political group. I hope everyone gives Mrs. Huffington's book a read. I'm certain that my fellow Republican friends will immediately pan "Right is Wrong" without even reading it - only to get their opinion of the book from the likes of Coulter or Limbaugh. We need to stop being so blind as to what's going on.
