Yiddish with George and Laura

This mean-spirited piece of garbage says more about the writers than it's subject, the Bush family. A nasty case of projection it looks to me. Shame on them and shame on the noodnicks that wasted their money on this low crap.

We read this book aloud to each other, pausing at every Yiddish word to read the extremely funny glossary definition. We actually howled out loud with laughter....and then immediately ordered copies for family and friends. Truly delightful!

Yiddish With Dick and Jane had me laughing out loud all throughout, but this one just didn't do it for me. Somehow it was funny when they threw Yiddish into the Dick and Jane world, but I don't think it worked as well when they tried for a sequel in the political world. I mean there are many other reviewers who got some laughs out of it, which is great, but I thought this one was kind of awkward and grasping. Yiddish and the Bushes didn't really gel this time, in my view. The glossary uses all the terms in silly attempts at political jokes. At the end there is a somewhat lengthy explanation of why the book is supposed to be funny. I wanted this book to be good and to live up to Y w/D & J, but I was disappointed. I gave it a couple points because it had a few terms I didn't already know, but some of the phrases were long and looked particularly strange when put into the mouths of the Bushes.

Jewish Democrats will love this book. I've been giving copies of Yiddish with Dick and Jane as Bar and Bat Mitzvah presents for years to great acclaim and this one is that much funnier.

this book was written very well. it was just as if george and laura were realy dick and jane. the parts with the yiddish was very appropriate. i loved it.
