One of the biggest challenges for any instructor of university level American Politics courses is how to overcome the cynicism and boredom of today's freshmen for things political. Luckily, we now have help from one of our colleagues, Dr. Ted Rueter. The two books, 449 Most Stupid Things Said by Democrats and its companion volume, 449 Most Stupid Things Said by Republicans, are 898 arrows of comedy able to pierce even the most opaque veil of student cynicism. These quotes are zingers that really work to liven up a lecture or shorten that cross-country flight. If you can laugh as you read this book (and you will!), don't worry, your political sanity has been confirmed!

I didn't know politics could be so funny. I bought this book to give as a birthday gift for my grandfather. I'm not really into politics and I didn't intend to read it, but I literally laughed out loud and couldn't put the book down once I started reading! I had to get a copy for myself. I know I'll reread this book again and again. Great book! You won't be sorry if you like to make fun of dumb politicians.

I had a blast with this book. It really shows how these Dem's think! I loved the quote by Hillary Clinton "WE are president" if that doesn't say it all. Also, loved "God bless the America we are trying to create." -Hillary Rodham Clinton. Let's all hope she doesn't get the chance.

This is a funny book. Neither party is immune from "Foot in Mouth Disease" It's great that we can laugh at ourselves from time to time. This is very important! There are enough bad and tragic things in the world, and Ted Rueter does a good job showing us where our political funny bone is.

Thanks Ted..

Yes, politics can be stupid. And entertaining. Buy this one for your Republican friends, or people who are just fed up with the nonsense.

I am suprised that they narrowed down the amount of stupid quotes. I am sure a book could be called the Trillion + stupid things Democrats have said

I got this for my mom for Christmas. I think she really enjoys it. I have not read it but I'm sure it's full of fun stuff.

This is just a little book of 138 pages,but it is packed with some great and humorous things Democrats have said over the years.Some of them may not have been too outrageous at the time,but in a while came back to haunt them.If you are a Democrat, with a thin skin,maybe you better pass this up and leave it for a Republican.I am sure you can find a similar book of Republican quotes which are just as funny.However,if you can get past political affiliations,you'll love this book.
Just to show you what you'll find in this little tome,here are a few I relished:
"If a president of the United States ever lied to the American
people,he should resign"
-Bill Clinton,commenting on President Nixon and the
Watergate scandal while running for Congress in 1974.

"I remember when I first came to Washington.For the first
six months you wonder how the hell you ever got there.For the
next six months you wonder how the hell the rest of them got
there."
-Harry Truman (president,1945-1953)

"Sex is a bad thing because it rumples the clothes."
-Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis (first lady,1961-1963)

"I have been called a 'stupid and pathetic country bumpkin,'
...compared to David Koresch,and blamed for a sixty-five
point drop in the stock market,but never have I been called
anything so repugnant...as a "Washington Insider."
-James Carvill (political consultant)

"I'm not going to have some reporters pawing through our
papers.We are the president."
-Hillary Clinton (first lady,1993-2001),discussing
possible release of Whitewater documents.

"Who is going to find out? These women are trash.Nobody's
going to believe them."
-Hillary Rodham Clinton (first lay,1993-2001),on her
husband's affairs.

"God bless the America we are trying to create."
-Hillary Rodham Clinton

"I have to borrow money from her (his wife)to get a soft drink"
-Jesse Jackson

" Thank you for saving me from the draft."
-Bill Clinton (president,1993-2001),in a 1969 letter to
retired U.S. Army ROTC Colonel Eugene Holmes,chairman
of Clinton's local draft board.

Even after all this,a politican is never lost for words!

I keep hoping to find Democrats saying really stupid things. Some of these are funny. None rises to the level of bachman's "What I love about New Hampshire and what we have in common is our extreme love for liberty. You're the state where the shot was heard around the world at Lexington and Concord."

For really stupid things, one has to go with the republic leadership. I'm ashamed.

Yeah, I have to admit that after hearing George Bush's amazing masterful speeches for 8 years (especially the outtakes) that everybody else sounds like an idiot! or is it the other way around. But what do I know I'm only a kid.
