	Bush Family Fortunes: The Best Democracy Money Can Buy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
		James R. Bath, a former member of the Texas Air National Guard and Bush family friend, is the exclusive money manager for the Saudi royal family (as well as the bin ladens) in the United States.
		Palast reminds the audience that participatory democracy, and therefore political legitimacy, was seriously undermined by the final results of the 2000 election, results that have contributed to an ever-sharper division between the two major political parties in the United States.

		The best democracy money can buy; the truth about corporate cons, globalization, and high-finance fraudsters.
		Money can't buy democracy any more than it can buy happiness, but it does buy the assassins hired to kill any tenet of democracy that happens to get in the way of profit.
		One reason may be best summed up in a conversation Palast had with Newsweek reporter Mike Isikoff, who at lunch one day gave Palast a mountain of startling documentation on the Florida presidential election scam.

		Bush Family Fortunes: The Best Democracy Money Can Buy is an interesting look into the life of George W. Bush and the privileged rise that he experienced to becoming the Commander in Chief of the world’s superpower.
		One of the best parts of the film is the further exposing of the connections between the Bush family dynasty and the Saudi family.
		One of the best examples is when Palast interviews a husband and wife duo that is both fervent Bush supporters and lobbyists by trade.

	GREEN EVENTS (LONDON) - Book Review - "The Best Democracy Money can Buy" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Best Democracy Money Can Buy takes the form of a series of Palast's articles and essays, many of which have been published in the British or American press, and which, combined with new material, contain some explosive accusations.
		Not the least of which is that a catalogue of 'errors' before and during the US 2000 election resulted in tens of thousands of people being illegitimately prevented from voting in the key state of Florida.
		Having set the stage by detailing this sham of democracy from the outset, the collection of stories which follow cite one example after another of where corporate greed has been allowed to run roughshod over all other concerns.

		In his recent book The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, Greg Palast exposed some evidence of the ever stronger network of lies and corruption of democracy that corporate interests produce.
		Five million dollars is the total amount of money that eight senators apparently received as a bribe to approve a controversial law in 2000.
		While bringing the money in his own car from the Secretary of Intelligence to the Congress, he had to pass through a large demonstration of trade unions.

	Book review: The Best Democracy Money Can Buy
		The Best Democracy Money Can Buy is composed of dozens of essays -- many of which are actually summaries of Palast's investigative journalism escapades -- on the myriad ways those of power and wealth have stolen and/or perverted cherished ideas and institutions of the United States and the United Kingdom.
		In fairness to him, his essay was not designed to be a primer per se on the California energy crisis, but rather a discussion of the dangers of electricity deregulation, but it refers so much to the events in California that a fuller deconstruction of those events would seem to be in order.
		Overall, the multitude of subjects and issues covered and the frequent flights from one to the next can be a bit jarring and disorienting.

	The Best Democracy Money Can Buy
		Greg Palast's book The Best Democracy Money Can Buy is a shocking exposé of the current American and British political climate.
		If only a portion of this book proves to be true then it is still a must read for all those who object to singing the equivalent of "Dixie" out of habit.
		He then turned his sleuthing skills on to the Bush money trail: uncovering for BBC and The Observer the uncomfortable truths of how the Bush Administration quashed investigations of Saudi financing of terror -- and Poppy Bush’s extraordinary methods for stuffing his bank account and his son’s campaign coffers.

	REVIEW - The Best Democracy Money Can Buy
		"The Best Democracy Money Can Buy" is a must read for anyone-conservative or liberal-who wants to get a different perspective on what is happening in the world than the one that is consistently portrayed by the consolidated corporate media.
		He notes that it is only because the Guardian and the BBC is publicly funded can he explore venality and corruption in government and business.
		His chapter on Tony Blair's government and how cheaply it can be bought demonstrates that the influence of corporate money has become so pervasive that even so-called Liberals must feed at the trough in order to fund their expensive media campaigns.

		In the release of the third edition of Greg's book, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, Palast continues his quest to reveal corporate influence and corruption in government policy, in the media, and in virtually every aspect of our society.
		Sometimes I think I can take a break and stop updating the book, but unfortunately it's like the sewage pipe is still open and running into the basement.
		If 1.9 million paper votes can so easily not be counted, and clearly there are some serious structural problems with the American electoral system, what does this bode for the future when computers are the standard and votes can be erased with the click of a button?

		Palast styles himself as the dogged outsider, a former working-class gumshoe from L.A. now reporting on corporate America for the BBC and The Guardian, unable to secure a regular gig from U.S. media firms wary of his impolitic exposés.
		In sold-out appearances, Palast has detailed how Katherine Harris and Jeb Bush swung the Florida election by purging tens of thousands of eligible voters—mostly fls—using electronically generated "scrub lists" produced by a Texas firm paid millions to screen out felons, yet not required to verify the accuracy of its data.
		From the "cash for access" scandal that rocked Tony Blair's government in Britain to the revolving door between Monsanto and the FDA that led to the flood of BST growth hormone in America's milk supplies, Palast lays bare patterns of corruption so sadly commonplace.
