Don't know why, but as soon as I saw that Time's cover of Bush it reminded me of "The World According Garp"
A struggling young writer finds his life and work dominated by his unfaithful wife and his radical feminist mother, whose best-selling manifesto turns her into a cultural icon
Released 1982, the Time's cover was published 2004.

I think I'll put Garp on the watch list and see what piqued this connection to Bush.
