Description

In this hybrid of pop mythology and political commentary, John Powers offers an irreverent guided tour of what he dubs "Bush World"--with its terror attacks and obsession with Martha Stewart, its preemptive wars and celebrations of shopping. Sore Winners takes a fresh look at the multiple personas of the Real Slim Shady, George W. Bush, the gloating social Darwinism of shows like Survivor and The Apprentive, and the right-wing triumph of Fox News and the ranting "Id Conservatives."
