‘Fahrenheit 911’ opens, but for the scarier story read ‘American Dynasty’

Michael Moore’s controversial film, at least to the Bush family and Disney’s Michael Eisner, “Fahrenheit 911” debuted yesterday to wide acclaim at the Cannes Film Festival.

While I look forward to Moore’s new film, for a more detailed, objective and might I say scary examination of the Bush family and their stealthy-wealthy cronies, check out Kevin Phillips’ most recent book, “American Dynasty: Aristocracy, Fortune and the Politics of Deceit in the House of Bush.”

Phillips, the GOP strategist who originated Nixon’s Southern Strategy and life long Republican, painstakingly investigated and details all the interlocking relationships of the Bush family with, among others, the bin Laden’s and the House of Saud. Phillips also details the presidential aspirations of the Bush family going back several generations.

After reading the book, I am convinced regardless of the outcome of this year’s presidential elections, this is not the last we will hear from this family.

Obviously Moore’s film will attract a huge audience and could have a major impact on the political landscape. For a more detailed, and as I said, scarier account of the tentacles of the Bush family, read ‘American Dynasty.’
