Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Political pundit Tucker Carlson cracks sharp and wise on all things Washington with the acerbic wit and razor-sharp insight that have made him a beloved conservative commentator. Proclaimed by New York magazine as the pundit most likely to succeed in these Bushian years, Tucker Carlson anchors the right side of CNN's Crossfire aisle. An unabashed beltway insider whose profile is unmatched, Carlson stands ready to pounce on anyone and everyone who dares enter the political fray. Now, he applies his deft and amusing perspective to the goings-on in our nation's capital. Whether it's the towel-snapping prowess of the President or the dumbfounding exploits of his predecessor, there is no sacred ground. A wild and informative ride behind the scenes of a cable newsman, Carlson's debut covers his beat with equal parts hilarity and insight in a jocular review that both exposes and defends the absurdity that underlies the world of politics. Book News Annotation:The co-host of CNN's Crossfire reveals his trials and
tribulations there and earlier with The Spin Room. The memoir has
no index or bibliography.
Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Review:"Given Carlson's conservative label, some readers may be wary. That would be a mistake....Anyone with a sense of humor will find this chronicle thoroughly enjoyable, and political junkies will likely laugh out loud more than once." Publishers Weekly Review:"Though George W. Bush pretty much gets a free pass, the list of absolute flakes, creepy candidates, political mountebanks, and mendacious legislators provides some good clean fun. It's easy, entertaining stuff..." Kirkus Reviews Review:"Although many readers will disagree with his attitudes and precepts, everyone has to admit he is a good storyteller, intelligent and witty and sure of himself." Brad Hooper, Booklist Review:"An exciting book by an exciting author...his stature, impact and candor provide a must read for Americans of any party." Rev. Al Sharpton Review:"I begged Tucker not to abandon print for TV...but it turns out he can still write!" Christopher Hitchens Synopsis:CNN Crossfire host Carlson gives readers the off-camera story on the various and sundry politicians who make American life so colorful.
