GUEST: Gan Golan, co-author of “Goodnight Bush,” an unauthorized parody of the children’s book, Goodnight Moon

As President Bush’s 8 year tenure finally draws to a close, a number of creative products have popped up in the retail market to bid him goodbye. Items like the George W. Bush Out of Office Countdown Handbook, the 2008 George W. Bush Out of Office Countdown Calendar, the official Bush countdown clock, and the Bush countdown clock keychain. One of the most creative new products is a children’s book by Erich Origen and Gan Golan, based on the ubiquitous children’s book, Goodnight Moon. The original book, Goodnight Moon, written more than 60 years ago, has helped countless parents ease their children to bed and is basically a short poem of goodnight wishes from a young rabbit preparing for–or attempting to postpone–his own slumber. Goodnight Bush, according to its authors, lets us “bid sweet dreams to Bush and his White House playmates and hope they sleep for a very long time.”
