"I was dramatically shaped by my grandmother and my aunts because
they convinced me there was always a cookie available. Deep down
inside I'm four years old, and I wake up and think out there,
there's a cookie. Every morning I'm going, you know, either it can
be baked or it's already been bought, but it's in a jar . . .
somewhere. . . ." -- Newt Gingrich in 1994,
from his Renewing American Civilization Lecture Series
Picking up where its hilarious predecessor left off, this
wickedly witty new treasure trove of outbursts, bon mots, and
miscalculations draws from every corner of the political arena:
foreign affairs, the White House, the scandals, the media, the
campaign trail, and more. The laughs come from politicians past and
present, including Republican presidential hopefuls Bob ("I don't
think I'm mean. I don't throw things at my wife or staff.") Dole
and Phil ("I'm carrying so much pork I'm beginning to get
trichinosis.") Gramm.
David Olive proves beyond a doubt that oral ineptitude knows no
political affiliation, and that even history's most revered
politicians could, at times, put foot firmly in mouth.
The great Sir Thomas More once said, "Anyone who deliberately
tries to get himself elected to public office is permanently
disqualified from holding one." After reading this priceless
compendium, we're sure you'll agree. Or perhaps President Clinton's
campaign adviser, Paul Begala, put it best: "Politics is show
business for ugly people."
"Well, I don't have much job security." -- Bill Clinton, on why
he still plays the saxophone
"If I want to knock a story off the front page, I just change my
hairstyle." -- Hillary Clinton
"I understand my critics are fixated and pathologically
disoriented, but they are my opponents. Why should I try to correct
them?" -- Newt Gingrich
"We've never had a president named Bob. And I think it's time."
-- Bob Dole
"I've got a lot to learn about Washington. Why, yesterday I
accidentally spent some of my own money." -- Senator Fred
Thompson
"Let me win the election and after that you come ask me
questions about how I run a government." -- Canadian Prime Minister

"Last year I was Bambi, this year Stalin. From Disneyland to

Tony Blair
