Called an everyman's guide to Washington (The New York Times), P.
J. O'Rourke's savagely funny and national best-seller Parliament of
Whores has become a classic in understanding the workings of the
American political system. Originally written at the end of the
Reagan era, this new edition includes an extensive foreword by the
renowned political writer Andrew Ferguson -- showing us that
although the names and the players have changed, the game is still
the same. Parliament of Whores is an exuberant, broken-field run
through the ethical foibles, pork-barrel flimflam, and bureaucratic
bullrorfle inside the Beltway that leaves no sacred cow unskewered
and no politically correct sensitivities unscorched. Highly pungent
and wickedly accurate observations ... [from a] boisterous,
pedal-to-the-floor humorist. -- The New York Times Book Review
Outrageous ... It is insulting, inflammatory, profane, and
absolutely great reading. -- The Washington Post Book World A gonzo
civics book ... O'Rourke is like a trophy hunter let loose in an
unguarded zoo. -- Chicago Tribune
