4.0 out of 5 stars Very interesting political poems, July 27, 2000

This review is from: Unbridled Joy: The Verse of Joy Skilmer (Paperback)

I have not read the book, but I saw a lot of poems on a website.Lynn Nofziger includes a poem with virtually every column. They are much better than the Dreele poems that were in the National Review.

I more or less agree with his views (except I don't agree woith his analysis of George Bush's vice-presidential choices)

Nofziger is extremely well-informed, although others notsowellinformedmight think him leaning toward the "no-no"of conspiracy theories. (I think he does not lean enough. I also think he is not focused enough there on Clinton.) And of course, like everyone else, he has limitations and limited knowledge.

This can be compared toabook of political cartoons. It reminds you of all the controversies in the news.

That sort of thing is a really good book to have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Witty, soulful, humorous, candid, irreverent, terrific!, June 6, 2000

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Unbridled Joy: The Verse of Joy Skilmer (Paperback)

Unbridled Joy: The Verse of Joy Skilmer showcases veteran political strategist and commentator Lyn Nofziger's witty, soulful, humorous, candid, irreverent, biting, sardonic, verse that draws from his many years of first-hand observation as a political insider. Two Choices: Mayhap the press will wait in vain/For Bush to say, "I used cocaine."/But then again he may admit/"I used it just a little bit."/He finds it hard to hold his stand/When heckled by the media band./He says, "I will not play your game,"/But plays it with them just the same./He finds it hard as time goest by/To duck the truth but still not lie./He has two choices: One - to stall/And learn from Clinton to stonewall./Or, two, at last the truth to bare/And find that people just don't care./What e'er his choice he must decide/Before his hide's completely fried.
