Talk radio host Michael Savage takes readers on a comedic safari through American politics, reimagining prominent figures as the animals they most resemble. Savage assumes the role of zookeeper and resident biologist, cataloging his menagerie of political creatures with irreverent humor. Ted Turner becomes a widemouth copperhead dubbed Mouthus desouthus, while Alec Baldwin transforms into a stuffed turkey labeled Notalentus anti-americanus. Bill Clinton earns the designation wolf boy with the scientific name Fondlem undgropeum. Cage by cage, Savage dissects the behaviors of these political beasts, arguing that today's leaders act like untrained animals who destroy cherished American values. The book serves as both entertainment and field guide for navigating what Savage views as the wild kingdom of contemporary politics.
