5.0 out of 5 stars
dead-on parody, masterfully written,
This review is from: Citizen Clinton: And Other Political Parodies (Paperback)
With scathing humor and a rapier wit, the author reaches down to puncture the pompous arrogance of the Clinton regime, and shame the current class of toadies that surround them. Parodying old movies and current TV shows, Steve Gallagher re-imagines the scenes with the all-too-familiar cast of today's scandal makers. While most of the scenes are hilarious, laugh-out-loud funny, like any great artist the author has included textures and backgrounds that you only notice out of the corner of your mind. It is a great pleasure to discover these subtleties as you re-read the parodies (which you will). We may have "Clinton fatigue", but you'll never have "Citizen Clinton" fatigue. This book proves that all of the really good political humor comes from the conservative side of the aisle. Get it for yourselves, and your friends of all political stripes; it's never too early to shop for Christmas presents :-)

A most unusual book,
By Wills (Schenectady, New York USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Citizen Clinton: And Other Political Parodies (Paperback)
Steve Gallagher has given us, in "Citizen Clinton & Other Political Parodies", a literary box of chocolates. A delicious variety of stories which you'll have to resist finishing all too quickly. The names of the characters are familiar, and the dialogue is devilishly refreshing. You'll be simultaneously shocked and tickled. Whether or not you're a reader of Clinton books, this one is unique and a must-have.

Citizen Clinton: And Other Political Parodies,
This review is from: Citizen Clinton: And Other Political Parodies (Paperback)
No one has been able to capture so humorously the true madness of the Clinton years as well as Steve Gallagher has done with "Citizen Clinton: And Other Political Parodies." This book works on several levels but is perhaps the most enjoyable for the student of contemporary politics - the more you know the funnier it is. While each parody is best read as a whole (and repeatedly to 'catch' it all) each page is so chock full of hilarity that a second copy to use as a bathroom reader would not be unreasonable. If this book doesn't become a cultural icon from the waning years of Clintonism - it should.
