by Dana Milbank
First published 2009
Washington Post writer Dana Milbank takes readers on an alphabetical journey through the capital's political circus. Each letter brings a new target for his satirical pen, from bumbling politicians to greedy corporate executives. Milbank spares no one in his equal opportunity mockery, targeting both sides of the aisle with the same sharp wit. His verses expose the daily absurdities of beltway life while Mark Anderson's award-winning illustrations bring each political caricature to vivid life. The book captures the frustration every voter feels when watching their representatives stumble through another scandal or deliver another tone-deaf speech. Milbank transforms that collective exasperation into clever wordplay that makes the political process bearable through laughter.
