Tounge-in-cheek,
By
This review is from: The Wizard of "IS": The Short, Ugly Story of the Impeachment of Billy Jeff Clinton and His Trailer Park Presidency (Paperback)
Professor Jerry Mander's tounge-in-cheek 'review' of President Clinton's approach to President of The United States is an entertaining and enlightening view of today's politics. Very right-winged, the book is chock full of tidbits from the controversial Starr Report as well as pertinent stories, facts, and related conjecture. Not for the faint-of-heart or liberal minded or those others in opposition to the Vast Right-Winged Conspiracy.

Absolutely Hilarious,
By John Duffy (New York City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wizard of "IS": The Short, Ugly Story of the Impeachment of Billy Jeff Clinton and His Trailer Park Presidency (Paperback)
I purchased this book on the recommendation of a friend. WOW! This is the funniest, most refreshing thing I have read in years. The Prof pulls no punches and really hits one out of the ball park in this book. It's refreshing to find someone who can take dry and disturbing facts and help the reader see the hilarity in the absurdity. I was VERY impressed with the organization of the book as well. In addition to being hilarious, the Prof also did an excellent job of laying out the facts. An excellent compilation of the real impeachment issues as well as an enjoyable read.

This review is from: The Wizard of "IS": The Short, Ugly Story of the Impeachment of Billy Jeff Clinton and His Trailer Park Presidency (Paperback)
I almost didn't read this book because I was sick of Bill & Monica. However, I am very glad I read this one. It brought me to tears with the literary wit and the great analogies. Highly recommended!

Funny!!!,

This review is from: The Wizard of "IS": The Short, Ugly Story of the Impeachment of Billy Jeff Clinton and His Trailer Park Presidency (Paperback)
I loved Professor Mander's take on impeachment, but I LOVED what he said about Joe Lockhart, presidential spokesman. Everytime I see him host a press conference and get a question he doesn't like I laugh at his response. Why? You have to buy the book to find out!

Educational & Funny,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wizard of "IS": The Short, Ugly Story of the Impeachment of Billy Jeff Clinton and His Trailer Park Presidency (Paperback)
The good Professor is one funny guy. This book will have you rolling on the floor laughing out loud. And it will do so while educating you on the debacle/scandal that was and is the Clinton Years. From the bimbo eruptions to the servicing intern, it covers it all. If you want to indulge in the lighter side of "historical analysis," this is the book for you. Enjoy!

True, and Hilarious!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wizard of " IS " : The Short, Ugly Story of the Impeachment of Billy Jeff Clinton and His Trailer Park Presidency (Paperback)
Think of Dave Barry's humor gone Gonzo and interested in Politics. Mix that with the Impeachment of Bill Clinton and what came out would look an awful lot like this book. This was a truly refreshing and funny read. I laughed so hard a few times that I thought I was going to hurt myself.

Humor rooted in the truth,
This review is from: The Wizard of "IS": The Short, Ugly Story of the Impeachment of Billy Jeff Clinton and His Trailer Park Presidency (Paperback)
On the one hand this book is incredibly funny. Professor Jerry Mander examines the "Billy Jeff Clinton Trailer Park Presidency." A presidency so pathetic you just have to laugh. The Professor's own formula of humor and satirical wit will have you howling with laughter.On the other hand, the book unveils the truth about the Clinton scandal and all its supporting players. If you didn't read any of the Starr report, this book provides some of the best excerpts. And, the Professor's humor is your Dramamine to help you through it. Read about Clinton apologists like Barney Frank and learn what it is to be a "homophobaphobe." It's been said: "all good humor is rooted in the truth." Perhaps that's what makes this book so remarkably funny.
