Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
There are few things in Washington, D.C., better than having a source at ground zero. Chris Casey is that inside source, providing a humorous, sometimes frustrating, but always fascinating look at what it has taken to drag the U.S. Congress--kicking and screaming--all the way into the Age of the Internet. Riding this roller coaster with Casey, you will shake your head, and sometimes your fist, at our nation's most powerful lawmakers. But in the end you may come away thinking that at least a handful of those lawmakers have a clue . . . -- Brock Meeks, Chief Washington Correspondent, Wired
