From the Inside Flap
O'Rourke says the American political system resembles nothing so much as a "gigantic Mexican Christmas pinata" filled with everything from $600-per-cow farm subsidies to the S&L bailout. 2 cassettes.
From AudioFile
P.J. O'Rourke's scathingly funny guided tour of the workings of the U.S. government is uniquely suited to the audio format. O'Rourke's first-person essay is written in the style of a conservative intellectual's stand-up comedy routine and is acerbically captured by reader Christopher Hurt. Hurt drolly translates O'Rourke's marvelously funny diatribe against government wastefulness into verbal delight. Early in this timely and provocative work the listener begins to believe O'Rourke himself is teasing us with his radical Republicanism. This book is easy to digest in small, medium or large doses without losing track, making it perfect for commutes. C.T. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent insight, Hard hitting humor, and Regretably true,
By A Customer
This review is from: Parliament of Whores (Audio Cassette)
This is a great read. As usual O'Rouke's witty humour does not let you down as he explains the government. He takes a dry mudane subject and injects it with humor and insight while making it once agian cool to be conservative.
