Many books have documented what accomplished liars Bush, Cheney, Rove, and other officials around them are. The author of Born to Cheat, in fact, contributed to one of those books, Big Bush Lies, published in 2004 by RiverWood Books of Oregon.
Jackson Thoreau writes a book that focuses on the long history of cheating and political dirty tricks played by the main players of the Shrub administration. Backed up by hundreds of footnotes mostly from mainstream sources, Born to Cheat shows how Bush & Co.'s cheating started when they were young - even on the sandlot in some cases - and continued to their power grab of the White House and lust for an empire......
More on the Book
Americans rarely have the opportunity to trace the roots of malfeasance exhibited by the Bush-Cheney administration in one volume. Jackson Thoreau has documented the trail of wrongful conduct and the smears and tricks these men used on the road to the White House. Their six-year occupancy of the White House and Blair House has no equal in American history. If these men and their organization are ever brought to justice, it will happen because a small and careful cadre of journalists kept score. Born to Cheat is a scorecard that Americans dare not ignore.

Footnotes appear at the end of each chapter. Some Internet links to footnotes' sources are broken; those were either scrubbed by the sources cited, or they were changed during a Web site renovation. We kept even the broken ones up so you'd know they were at least cited at one time.
