In her long-awaited new collection, the Colt Peacekeeper of
American political
humor draws a bead on targets that range from the
Libido-in-Chief to Newt
Gingrich, campaign funny-money to the legislative lunacy of
her native Texas--and
hits a bull's-eye every time. Whether she's writing about Bill Clinton ("The Rodney
Dangerfield of
presidents"), Bob Dole ("Dole contributed perhaps the
funniest line of the year
with his immortal observation that tobacco is not addictive
but that too much
milk might be bad for us. The check from the dairy lobby
must have been late
that week"), or cultural trends ("I saw a restaurant in
Seattle that specialized
in latte and barbecue. Barbecue and latte. I came home
immediately"), Molly
takes on the issues of the day with her trademark good sense
and inimitable wit.
