Hail to the Thief: Our 42nd President of the United States William Jefferson Clinton [Paperback]

Dennis E. Hickey (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 6, 2003

Political cartoons have always been on the cutting edge of satire, and this collection is no exception. Dennis E. Hickey has compiled these 216 biting cartoons from various sources, all of which find humor in Bill Clinton’s scandalous presidency. From healthcare to impeachment, from draft dodging and womanizing to those eleventh-hour pardons, nothing is sacred to these satirists. To add to the humorous tension, the cartoons are arranged in chronological order, making them an outrageous historical outline of the Clintons’ problems – an outline that will make some laugh, outrage others, and incite all to informed political debate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compilation of cartoons from multiple cartoonists, February 8, 2003

By 

Dennis Hickey, Compiler (San Antonio, Texas, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hail to the Thief: Our 42nd President of the United States William Jefferson Clinton (Paperback)

This is the only book I know that features cartoonists from the U.S., Canada, Sweeden and India. Many are syndicated and one is a Pulitizer Prize winner.

It is a virtual history of Clinton's scandal-ridden presidency that also includes Al Gore, Hillary, Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones, and Ken Starr.

There are multiple Quotations from several prominent Democrats, a past President, Mikhail Gorbachev and many best selling authors.

The Introduction thoroughly explains the word 'Thief' in the Title.

Anyone that has followed the presidency of William Jefferson Clinton will be able to remember the event portrayed in the cartoons by their creator.

Most Liberals and Clinton apologists will not welcome a book of this nature that exposes their president's immoral conduct while in office.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bad cartoons, worse prose., May 22, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Hail to the Thief: Our 42nd President of the United States William Jefferson Clinton (Paperback)

It's a shame that the book doesn't focus more on issues that shaped the world instead of what was going on in the private life of a man. Battling homelessness? Welfare reform? The lowest unemployment level in years? No mention. This book is the worst kind of anthology of tripe.

5.0 out of 5 stars A scandal-ridden Presidency, April 10, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Hail to the Thief: Our 42nd President of the United States William Jefferson Clinton (Paperback)

This book is one of a kind. It contains previously published Clinton cartoons from all over the world. It is a story that needed to be told about the most corrupt President in the history of the U.S., William Jefferson Clinton. More negative books and facts are being written every day.

It is a book that is definitely not for Clinton-lovers ...
