It's Official

Any review of a book which is not entirely complimentary of George W. Bush which is published in the New York Times must include the words conspiracy theory, preferably in the first paragraph.

Once you get past the mandatory dismissal, however, you might learn something. Like this:

"[Craig Unger] even puts a price tag on the Saudis' contributions to the Bush family: a staggering $1.476 billion, paid out over 30 years as gifts to Bush-related charities, as generous perks (including a Saudi-sponsored European hunting trip for George H. W. Bush and his 1991 gulf war cabinet just after the November 2000 general election) and as investments in Bush-related businesses like Harken Energy or the Carlyle Group."
