Summary: A Change of Pace
Review: After reading this authors book on George Jr. - Shrub, I was excited to pick this one up. I figured I was going to get non-stop chapters of defense and support of President Clinton. Unfortuantly what I wanted only covered 50% of the book. The other half of the book covered Texas politics and personal columns on people she admired. The book is just a few years of her columns arranged by topic into sections of the book. This did make it easy for me to skip through the areas I was not interested in. Overall the book was funny and interesting. I found that when she was writing on national political issues, I tended to be with her step for step. She is not a blind supporter of President Clinton, but takes a more practical approach to her politics. She does not just disagree with all things Republican and agree with all things Democratic. I found that I even liked it when she did give Bill some grief about some of his many missteps. So I really enjoyed half of the book, and given the title was surprised that anything-other then national politics was covered. I just was not that interested in reading about a local Texas Senator working on a road project.

Summary: A Joy. Must read for anyone who cares about politics.
Review: Molly Ivins work is a delight and a joy, and this is her at her best. Her optimism, humor, intelligence and willingness to examine real issues make this books a delight. Don't get it if you don't have time to read it; I stayed up to 4 in the morning on a worknight to finish it. She is also hilarious.
