Editorial Review: Product Description: A wickedly funny faux-children's biography recounts Young Dick Cheney’s youthful lust for guns, oil, and the girl of his dreams. He was born among the big skies and cow pies of the Great American West. And yet from these humble beginnings, he would grow to become the most famous, most powerful Dick ever to inhabit the Vice Presidency. In this often shocking, frequently touching, clearly unauthorized biography, faux journalists Bruce Kluger and David Slavin (National Public Radio) reveal the inspiring and sometimes even true story of Richard B. Cheney—frontiersman, freedom fighter, fatty. Meticulously reported (including a footnote!) and lushly illustrated by renegade artist Tim Foley, this unprecedented, spell-checked triumph of painstaking conjecture brings to life the Dick nobody knows: a secretive yet sensitive boy from Wyoming with a shoot-from-the-hip, shoot-in-the-face style all his own. From his mischievous boyhood friendships, to his high-octane high school romance with the one girl who knew what made Dick tick, Young Dick Cheney: Great American is destined to be cherished by patriots and Democrats alike—a book that will captivate readers everywhere for months to come. Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Laugh out loud hilariousThis book is a scream-sure to become a classic keepsake of the imperial presidency/vice-presidency that we have all just endured. Timeless format, written well and enhanced by terrific cartoons.Highly recommended! Rating: - Funny Look at the Life of a Young DickWhile I haven't the slightest clue as to whether this has any factual basis to it (I'm admitting to being too lazy to search Cheney's early background) I found it to be wonderfully funny and a fantastic example of satire. They use everything that Dick has given them over the years and spun a wonderful tale. If you like Bush/Cheney...stay away! Otherwise...enjoy! Rating: - Very AmusingYoung Dick Cheney: Great American This is an amusing book and provides comic relief for all the sad but true problems with the current Vice President. Rating: - Review of a book of a man who will not have many good things to say about him in history.This book is wildly over the top and wonderful. I laughed all the way through it. You have to have been a political junkie for the last 7 years to get all the humor. Rating: - Not Too Secret Agent of DoomHumpty Dumpty --- Hasn't he had his skull cracked yet? Pamphlet too kind to him. A. Alderete Browse for similar items by category:
