A Funny Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is a very funny book. Cathcart and Klein are more insightful than any of the broadcast journalists. They seem to understand Washington and use their understanding as a basis of humor. I enjoyed this book almost as much as their other, similar, book: Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar . . .: Understanding Philosophy Through Jokes I enjoyed this book and wholeheartedly recommend it to others.
loved it

I got this book for my husband for Father's Day and he loved it. In fact, he's enjoyed telling so many of the jokes. He just sits there and snickers or howls, and then we get to hear all about it. He loved it!

I'm not supposed to get overwrought about politics. This book is just the ticket. It's smart and so very funny. I would recommend this to any political junkies out there.
Great follow-up!

This is a great follow-up to Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar. These guys are really funny. I learned a lot about philosophy and politics. Buy both of these books.
A laugh out loud!

Well, lets see. I will admit that I have read very little of this book, but what I have read I have really enjoyed and found to be extreemly hilarious. I was turned on to the book one day when I arrived at my parents house to find my father sitting in his chair one afternoon laughing out loud. I took that as a vote of confidence that my father of all people would not be laughing out loud if this book was indeed not funny. In fact he has been slowly savering this book, which is a sure sign that it is a good read. I recently purchased a copy of the book for my boyfriend knowing that he will get the same joy out of the book as my father.
