democracy died today...Or maybe it was yesterday

Bush reads Camus's 'The Stranger' on ranch vacation - Yahoo! News:
CRAWFORD, United States (AFP) - US
President George W. Bush quoted French existential writer Albert Camus to European leaders a year and a half ago, and now he's read one of his most famous works: 'The Stranger.'

White House spokesman Tony Snow said Friday that Bush, here on his Texas ranch enjoying a 10-day vacation from Washington, had made quick work of the Algerian-born writer's 1946 novel -- in English.

I wonder what "made quick work of" it means here? Quickly got the plot outline and moved on? Took away the superficial (and racist) idea that killing Arabs is OK?

Maybe its just a more subtle way of pissing off Babs...democracy or maybe Babs.
