From Tony Blair on the Future (“I never make predictions. I never have, and I never will.”) to George Bush, Sr. on Critics (“Some reporters said I don’t have any vision. Well, I don’t see that.”) and George the Younger on Hunger (“I know how hard it is to put food on your family.”)—here is a bumper crop of political idiocy.

“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.
Stephen Robins is the author of two other Prion books: The Importance of Being Idle and How to be a Complete Dandy. He lives in London where he makes his proper living as a Barrister.
