Synopsis
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.

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.

Paperback. Condition: New. What better antidote to our post-Iraq weariness and pre-US Presidential election bafflement than a splendid anthology of political nonsense - words direct from our leaders' mouths. But we must be charitable to the poor things - if any of us spoke as much as they do we'd probably have far more 'foot in mouth' moments. Now fully updated with the most recent howlers and published in paperback for the first time, this collection covers issues ranging from abortion to armed forces, grammar to gun control, media to morality, terrorism to transport, and the welfare state to women at work. Full of classic one-liners that will have you laughing out loud or running back to the voting booth! Seller Inventory # 0087456
