Politicians, Partisans, and Parasites: My Adventures in Cable News

by Tucker Carlson

Overview

From the host of Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox News comes a wild and informative ride behind the scenes of a news correspondent.

"A must read for Americans of any party." -- Rev. Al Sharpton

Political pundit Tucker Carlson cracks commentary on all things Washington with the acerbic wit and razor-sharp insight that have made him a beloved conservative commentator. An unabashed insider whose profile is unmatched, Carlson stands ready to pounce on anyone and everyone who dares enter the political fray. Whether it's the towel-snapping prowess of former presidents or the dumbfounding exploits of his predecessors, there is no sacred ground. 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.

Editorial Reviews

Carlson might be the conservative answer to Hunter S. Thompson--gonzo journalism for those with Ivy educations and blue-blood breeding. While he revels in pranks, irreverence, and the dissection of public figures, Carlson is a savvy commentator and highly skilled TV journalist. Always clear about his objective--the irresistible story that engages his mind and sense of humor--and wisely distant from the machinations and corruption of the media, he delivers engaging and witty commentary. If you like lucid, cogent, and facetious reportage larded with personal observation, give a listen to this book. D.J.B. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
