Bush’s Tell-All Tell-Off

I did a few doodles with this idea yesterday in my sketchbook and finalized the design today. This caricature of Bush cracks me up, for some reason. I initially struggled with how to approach the story about Scott McClellan’s tell-all book, because I can understand why the administration and its staunch supporters are in an uproar and “puzzled.” McClellan certainly wrote the book partly for the money, but I bet he wouldn’t stake his reputation and friendships with powerful people if he didn’t believe his own words. To me, his book seems to be another corroborating piece of evidence against the attitude and politics of the Bush White House. Of course, tell-all books never actually tell it all. In the end, that’s history’s job — and President Bush might not be too happy with it.
