Lame.......2007-05-14

Very, very, VERY lame book. I bought it looking for funny one-liner jokes to take to the office to stir the pot a little. This whole book has about 2 good ones.

Laughed Out Loud.......2001-06-25

Loved the book! I have heard most of these slogans throughout my career and loved Mr. Tompkins insightful viewpoints. I literally found myself laughing out loud as I read how these slogans were perceived by the contributors. I had an opportunity to see Mr. Tompkins speak recently, and he's a dynamic, entertaining speaker as well. Read the book, I think you'll enjoy it.

Book Description

Political pundit Tucker Carlson cracks sharp and wise on all things Wash- ington with the acerbic wit and razor-sharp insight that have made him a beloved conservative commentator. Proclaimed by NewYork magazine as the pundit most likely to succeed in these Bushian years, Tucker Carlson anchors the right side of CNN's Crossfire aisle. An unabashed beltway insider whose profile is unmatched, Carlson stands ready to pounce on anyone and everyone who dares enter the political fray. Now, he applies his deft and amusing perspective to the goings-on in our nation's capital. Whether it's the towel-snapping prowess of the President or the dumbfounding exploits of his predecessor, there is no sacred ground. A wild and informative ride behind the scenes of a cable newsman, Carlson's debut covers his beat with equal parts hilarity and insight in a jocular review that both exposes and defends the absurdity that underlies the world of politics.

Download Description

Tucker Carlson is a member of one of Washington's rarest of species: he's a genuinely likable conservative. Noted by New York magazine as the pundit most likely to succeed in these Bushian years, Carlson's profile is unmatched. In this new book, he applies his deft and amusing hand to the goings-on in our nation's capital. An unabashed beltway insider, Carlson's rise has been meteoric. From his celebrated editorial work for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette to the bright lights of primetime, he has gathered a fan base on both sides of the aisle and is in perfect position to expose and defend the perceived absurdity that underlies the world of politics. Whether it's the towel snapping prowess of the President or the dumbfounding exploits of his predecessor, Carlson stands ready to pounce on any who dares to enter the political fray. Equal parts hilarity and insight, POLITICIANS, PARTISANS AND PARASITES is the work of a fresh new voice that will be with us for a very long time.

Funny, smart & easy to read.......2007-02-25

Tucker Carlsons genuine, affable nature comes to roost in this short, easy to read book. He tells a few funny stories & gives an inside peek into the cable news industry. For the price & time it takes to read, you can't go wrong

Mindless Palaver.......2004-10-19

I wanted to like Tucker Carlson's book. He has the opportunity to show the interesting side of politics. The truth is, the writing is horrible. I wouldn't waste the money on this book new. I'm sure there will be plenty of used available soon.

Cutie!.......2004-06-22

I always knew that Tucker Carlson's dad was a major player in the right wing media/think tank world. So it's easy to see how Tucky's connections helped him. He's such a cutie! I'd love to pinch his ice cream cheeks! (I wonder if Arianna did!) And I'll bet he wouldn't have a comeback to *that*! What I *did not* know, is that Tucker comes from authorial royalty, if you will. His parents penned the classic: Don't Sweat the Small Stuff in Love: by Richard Carlson and Kristine Carlson. Obviously, Tucker hasn't fallen too far from the tree, as he doesn't sweat the small stuff in politics! The beauty of Tucky is that he doesn't question the status quo, or any quo at all. He knows that politics is for fun and profit, to be joked about in the DC/media echo chamber. And now we get a front row seat! Luckily, Tucky lets us in on the fun (not the big joke, that we don't get paid for *our* relative nonsense), that policy - or the personalities and sound bites that "front" real policy - shouldn't be taken seriously. Don't sweat the small stuff! In other words, if you've got enough bread, enjoy the circus! "My Adventures" is non-threatening, fluffy, and self-preserving, as cotton candy (light blue or pink, whatever!)! Tucky stays true to the current political era, where the son rides pop's coattails, but isn't so darn serious! Kudos!

Caught in the Crossfire........2004-06-09

In Politicians, Partisans, and Parasites: My Adventures in Cable News the author provides a pleasurable read even if imparting little in the way of political wisdom.
Carlson's narration spares few details and one has the feeling that his publishers were pleasantly surprised with the richness of his account. His onscreen adventures began, improbably enough, with the OJ trial in 1995. It seems that the offices of The Weekly Standard were called by Dan Rather's booker in the hopes of finding a reporter to provide a conservative take on the trial, and Carlson, as he was the first one back from lunch, accepted the invitation.
A few years and many appearances later, our author was transformed from a chain-smoking journo to a smoke-free, media celebrity. He even got falsely accused of rape by a stalker fan (which says all one needs to know about his renown). Carlson briefly had his own show with Bill Press called Spin Room and currently he is one of the hosts on Crossfire.
Before relaying more specifics about the book, let me state, as a disclaimer, that I am personally not a fan of this author. Previously, I've always anticipated his views on politics with the same interest that I have in glasses of room temperature skim milk.
Carlson himself cites the concerns that Congressman Tom Delay had about his representing the conservative side before the nation. He believed Carlson "too liberal to represent the Right on the air." Frankly, I agreed with the Congressman before reading a page of the memoir and, after finishing it, I still agree with him. CNN needs guys like Carlson to be rightists in name, as the rest of us would not let Bill Press or Paul Begala dominate us with their informercials.
The author has warm affection for the likes of James Carville and Bill Press. He also seems to lament Senator McCain's loss to President Bush in the 2000 Republican primary, which is rather disturbing as McCain's goal, in regards to the Republican Party, was that we should "burn it down."
It may well be worth buying the book just to read about the catty way in which Carlson deals with Barney Frank after the Congressman berated a producer who tried to adjust his blazer (the horror!): "I made a mental note to devote the rest of my life to subverting Frank's career." He does a noble job.
This is by no means a philosophical work, but it was a great deal of fun to read. As many liberal comedians have painfully illustrated in the past, you do not have to be on the exact same ideological page as your audience in order to entertain. Tucker Carlson was on a mission to lightly and gleefully depict some of the strange politicians, partisans, and parasites that he has known on from cable news and he has succeeded admirably. Now if he could just lose that bowtie. Anyway, if you're short a present or two, you might consider his memoir for just about anyone who likes to laugh.

Very forgettable book......precious little substance.......2004-04-10

I find myself in the distinct minority on this one but much to my surprise I really did not enjoy this one very much at all. Perhaps I am missing something or maybe the humor just went right over my head but for the most part I found this offering to be neither informative nor very humorous. While I have enjoyed some of Tucker Carlsons work on television I found his writing to be rambling and at times tedious. The book contains very little of a substantive nature. I find books like this to be largely a waste of my time. Perhaps this is what cable news has become as well. Continuing coverage of people discussed in this book like Monica Lewinsky, Jerry Falwell, James Traficant and Dick Morris, to name just a few, contribute little to an intellgent discussion of important national issues. Maybe if you are just looking for a chuckle this will fill the bill. Otherwise, there are many other better ways so spend your time.

however I promise to complete a "Review" as soon as I get to read it.
Claude is my cousin, and as I know he has been waiting for many years to have his works published, it was neccessary for me to post this, and why I am giving it a 5 star rating.

I am really so very proud of my cousin, and it is with all sincerity that I hope he reads this. Our lives were so different the last time we saw or talked to each other, and it would honor me so greatly if Claude would consider becoming a part of my newly formed promotions business.
