Synopsis

What better antidote to our post-election weariness than a splendid anthology of political nonsense - words direct from our leaders' mouths. How better to reinforce our apathy (and antipathy) than a read through some of our politicians' inanities. But we must be charitable to the poor things - if any of us spoke as much as they do we'd also end up with our feet in our mouths.

From the Publisher

“The left don’t have a monopoly on ecology. We at the National Front respect life and love animals. I myself have a white rat whom I kiss on the mouth every day.” —Jean–Marie Le Pen, French ultra–conservative politician

What better antidote to our post–presidential–election weariness than this stupendous anthology of political inanities? In this current climate of spin and soundbites, there has been a deluge of choice pickings. Ranging from Abortion to Armed Forces, Grammar to Gun Control, Media to Morality, Terrorism to Transportation, and the Welfare State to Women at Work, The Ruling Asses is chock–full of one–liners that will have you laughing out loud... or running back to the voting booth.
