Who should not read “The Forbidden
Political Dictionary”?
Caution:
Anyone not the least bit interested in politics will certainly find
nothing in this book to stimulate interest in or admiration for the
political world.
Also,
those who find our public officials and their actions so pure and
sacrosanct that they stand beyond criticism will not appreciate the
jovial carving up they receive in these pages. And, of course, anyone
so fiercely partisan he must shut out all the fun of poking fun
at himself and his peers needn’t crack open the covers of the
“Forbidden Political Dictionary.”
There are
plenty of deadly political essays to read for those with deadly
serious political brains. |

Who should read this book?
Anyone
who wants to discover the real mentality of politicians and doesn’t
mind having a laugh along the way should read “The Forbidden Political
Dictionary.”
Rest
assured that politicians don’t think like the rest of us – no, no, no!
Many words mean entirely different things to political figures. After
reading this handy guide, familiar expressions such as “exceptional,”
“disaster,” “guideline,” “outreach,” and “negotiate” will forever take
on wickedly twisted meanings.
Keep this
dictionary in hand the next time you listen to a politician speak, and
you will acquire an entirely new insight into what he or she is
saying! Thanks to this delightfully cockeyed “spoonful of satire” the
political medicine will go down with a smile and a chuckle, and a good
dose of truth.

Here is a "Devil's Dictionary" of political words and
phrases, illustrated with cartoons by the author, that will have
conservatives and liberals laughing and thinking at the same time.
