Gotta Love Kate
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is the third of Kate's books and I have read them all. Some of the material is very dated politically. I particularly enjoyed the chapters that were not political in nature. It is a laugh-out-loud, hey, let me tell you what she said about this kind of book.
Worth a Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I'm hard-pressed to figure out how to describe the writing of Kate Clinton. Given that she is a comedian, it seems like funny should be a part of my description, but it's not. There were a few places where I actually chuckled while reading, but I can count those instances on one hand. Her writing seems to be more of a wry, feminist, every-woman take on current and political events. She's flippant and sarcastic and gets to the point of each of her essays quickly. So once the expectation of comedy is lowered, what's left is a collection of essays that sum up the liberal, feminist, queer view of politics from 2006 to late 2008. The last throes of Bush are described and then the primaries and general presidential election are re-told from Clinton's perspective. Given that she is a 60 year old woman who's not afraid to speak her mind, her essays obviously state her points firmly. She doesn't beat around the Bush, she beats the Bush directly. Clinton's take on the last few years of politics is a worthy read, voiced from a feminist that is worth listening to.

Just saw Kate in Asheville, NC a few weeks ago, she was hilarious. I got this book as soon as we got back. She is funny, way funny, but more than that, she is wicked smart and right on target. She should have her own tv show a'la Jon Stewart. Get this book, you will laugh out loud, and learn something in the process.
