The Ruling Asses: A Little Book of Political Stupidity

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!
