In Bushed, Bruni paints the most thorough, balanced, eloquent, and lively portrait yet of a man in many ways ill-suited to the office he sought and won, focusing on small moments that often escaped the news media's notice. From the author's initial introduction to Bush through a nutty election night and Bush's first months in office, Bruni captures the president's familiar and less familiar oddities and takes readers on an often funny, usually irreverent journey into the strange, closed universeor "bubble"of campaign life. The result is an original take on the political process and a detailed glimpse of George W. Bush as most Americans have never seen him before.
