Inhaltsangabe

It is amazing how often politicians’ most public words come back to haunt them. George W. Bush once quipped, ?I have opinions of my own?strong opinions?but I don’t always agree with them,” while Richard Nixon famously called the funeral of President Georges Pompidou ?a great day for France.” This priceless treasure trove of verbal blunders, indiscretions, regrettable promises, about-turns, deceptions, lies, and just plain stupidity highlights the very best political missteps of all time. Ranging across the centuries and the globe, this salutary and hugely funny book is completely up-to-date with all the immortal lines our leaders have made into classics.
