Molly
Ivins and Lou Dubose are Texan
investigative journalists and
authors who have followed the
rise and rise of George W. Bush
for over 20 years.
Stating
that “The Washington Press
Corp focuses on the White House,
we found that starting at the
other end provides a clearer
vision of what is happening in
Amercia” the book covers such
diverse subjects as social
justice, tax, labour issues and
wealth, it may be called, from a
cynical viewpoint, Michael Moore
without the satire but with a
lot more facts. Ivins writes
with a passion and anger that we
in
Australia
have great difficulty
understanding.
Ivins
quotes “the first duty of
government is to protect the
powerless against the
powerful” , she and people
like Michael Moore are part of a
small band of journalists who
appear to uphold that view.
