Synopsis

A delightfully humorous collection of political putdowns and comebacks that will make you wish you had said that, while providing wonderful ammunition for future encounters! JOHN PALMER, Former news anchor, Today Show; Host, television program, Retirement Living Although history may repeat itself (or as Twain reportedly said, at least rhyme), the comebacks delivered by guys like Coolidge and Churchill were of a truly classic vintage. I'll Be Sober in the Morning is a wonderful reminder that with a little acid finesse, agreeing to disagree in partisan politics can be a downright hoot. BRADY WELCH, Lapham's Quarterly
