Book description
If you want to hear something stupid, just listen to the nearest
politician. From the authors of Read My Lips and Mission
Accomplished!, this completely new collection of politicians' gaffes,
slips and brain freezes brings the verbal misstep into the present era
of coalition government in Britain, the 2012 presidential election
campaign in America and the global phenomenon of Wikileaks. Here is a
treasure trove of the finest worst utterings from the men and women
whose main skill is meant to be their power of communication. From
Bush, Obama and Palin to Brown, Cameron, Clegg and co., the mad, the
bad, the stupid and the shameless are all in attendance Â-watch them
shoot from the lip and hit themselves in the foot. If, as they always
say, politicians want to be judged by their words, let them be these.
