Rating:  Summary: There¿s plenty of ammo in this book. Review: A political junkie myself, I recommend this book to anyone interested in politics -- or, at least, to anyone interested in the lighter side of politics. I'm now convinced that Dan Quayle's presidential bid was clandestinely organized by comedians, so that they could get more material from the poor guy. Just consider:"One word sums up the responsibility of any vice president. And that word is 'to be prepared.'" -- Dan Quayle "It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it." -- Dan Quayle "I'm the vice president. They know it, and they know that I know it." -- Dan Quayle "Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teaches our children." -- Dan Quayle "What a waste it is to lose one's mind -- or not to have a mind. How true that is." -- Dan Quayle, addressing representatives of the United Negro College Fund. He garbled their slogan, "A mind is a terrible thing to waste." There's plenty of ammo in this book for Democrats to hurl at Republicans, and vice versa. And if you're registered under a third party, you'll be glad you did. This is a great book to have around the office, to read during commutes (if you're a bus or van pool rider), take to the beach, or just leave laying around the house for visitors to flip through.
Rating:  Summary: Don't waste your money Review: A tired rehash of quotes I've seen before. I had hoped for new material, but I've read these before. Not recommended.
Rating:  Summary: Proud Republican Student Review: Hilarious book -- flipped through it at the store but going to purchase online (and holding out for my autograph). This is a great addition to all my boring political books at home! If you can laugh at politics, you will laugh at these quotes :) Oh, and did I mention the author is pretty cool?
Rating:  Summary: Ho hum Review: I am one of those that gets too hot and serious at election time, and this book was the perfect antidote for me. I laughed so hard I got a three-hour case of the hiccups. I'm glad someone out there is keeping track of the funny and very human side of politics.

Rating:  Summary: I was disappointed Review: I was disappointed as I had thought this would be very funny, but it wasn't very much so. I agree with the ho-hum comment as this was quotes I'd seen before and not very interesting as they were old. I had thought and hoped with a new election there weould be something new, but it was all the old Quayle and Reagan and Dole and such. And that is so lame and old!!! I expected new quotes from Gore and Goerge W. Bush. This seemed very dated already, unfortunately. But then, I guess it's because it takes along time to publish a book, right? Whatever, it is a shame, since this was a good idea. I just wish it had worked better, no offense.

Rating:  Summary: Disappointing Review: I was hoping for a good laugh with this book, but these are quotes I've seen so many times before, all over the net. What a shame the author couldn't come up with fresh material. Don't waste your money on this.
Rating:  Summary: Same old, same old Review: I'm a political junkie, so thought this would be fun -- But I've read these quotes already in another political humor quote book I got last summer, "The Stupidest Things Said by Politicians" Coincidence? Maybe - I mean, how many stupid things can anyone collect...but, all in all, it's pretty uncanny....and pretty much the same thing, even down to the descriptions. I was hoping for more, not that I'm complaining, but this was the same stuff I just read a few months ago!!! I must admit this book really disappointed me on that level, since I had seen these quotes before and, for that matter, more of them. I must admit I was more pleased with the other book, since this was pretty much a rehash, but I did like the fact that it split out demo and rep quotes, even if they were ones I knew before. All in all, though, I was really unimpressed; I mean, how many Dan Quayle quotes do we need to pay for, since they're free on the net?!?!? And isn't that a little bit tired?
Rating:  Summary: Ammo for the "Shut up Limbaugh Organization" Review: If you ever needed a snappy comeback for the rantings if Rush Limbaugh this book is all you need. We know that politicians are people too but it is nice to see that they are as stupid as us nonelected members of the polity. If you are like me and want to blast El Rushbo, buy this book and email him a stupid Republican quote a day and see how he likes a taste of his own medicine!
