“Death of a President:” Box-office bomb
Bush Derangement Syndrome fizzles in movie theaters:
The provocative film “Death of a President,” which imagines the assassination of George W. Bush, bombed at the North American box office with a meager $282,000 grossed from 143 theaters in its first weekend.
The pseudo-documentary played at 91 U.S. theaters and 52 Canadian cinemas during its first three days [...]

Assassination chic
Assassination chic
The penultimate chapter of my book Unhinged was titled “Assassination chic.” I explored the popular genre of “Kill Bush” literature, talk radio rhetoric, and art on the Left devoted to fantasies about murdering President Bush and Republicans, including:
– Sarah Vowell’s best-selling murder travelogue of assassinated Republican presidents, Assassination Vacation;
– Nicholson Baker’s Checkpoint, a novella conversation [...]
What does the American left have to say?
I have received a smattering of e-mails from liberals who are siding with Denmark and the European newspaper editors in the Cartoon Jihad. (See, for example, the liberal blogger at Deep Thought.) For the most part, however, the American Left has had nothing to say about the escalating war. Instead, the Bush-deranged faction spent yesterday [...]
“MOST LIKELY TO ASSASSINATE BUSH”
From Widefield, Colorado, the latest addition to the anti-Bush assassination chic file (hat tip: reader Angela C.):
High school yearbooks were recalled so that administrators could black out a joke caption under one student’s picture: “most likely to assassinate President Bush.”
Mesa Ridge High School officials recalled about 100 yearbooks earlier this month and had staffers use [...]
AIR AMERICA’S ASSASSINATION CHIC
Assuming you’ve seen the Drudge Report flash
on the Air America skit broadcast yesterday and now apparently under investigation for its assassination overtones.
Randi Rhodes has used this rhetoric before. From May 2004:
Comparing Bush and his family to the Corleones of “Godfather” fame, Air America host Randi Rhodes reportedly unleashed this zinger during her Monday night [...]
MORE DEMOCRATIC ASSASSINATION HUMOR
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) spoke at the dedication of the new Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum, along with President Bush and others. Sen. Durbin mentioned that the new president of Ukraine recently spoke of a government “of the people, for the people,” or, as Durbin put it, “The words of the Gettysburg address still echoing across [...]
UNHINGED LIBERAL PRODUCTS FOR SALE
Yesterday, Drudge linked to a nasty anti-Tom Delay t-shirt being hawked at Cafe Press. The shirt urged the GOP congressman to commit suicide. Sold by artist Christopher Godwin, the product has now been removed (though you can still see it on Cafe Press’s search engine complete with the caption “We can dream, can’t we?”).
Not to [...]
