The Little Quiz Book of Big Political Sex Scandals
Politics and sex. Nothing captures the attention of the media -- and satisfies the public's thirst for schadenfreude -- quite like our elected officials getting caught with their pants down. In The Little Quiz Book of Big Political Sex Scandals , renowned satirist and New York Times bestselling author Paul Slansky provides a guided tour of this torrid realm of public life. Through a comprehensive compendium of quizzes, incorporating his trademark Q&A format, Slansky chronicles the political sex-scapades of the past half century -- Bill's cigar and Monica's stained dress, Gary Hart's cruise on the good ship Monkey Business, Larry Craig's restroom romancing, and scores of other career-ending shenanigans. Devastatingly funny yet also meticulously researched and historically relevant, this irreplaceable guide to the headline-grabbing events, the reluctant apologies, and the inevitable consequences -- and, of course, the anguished spouses standing by their men -- offers an endlessly entertaining peek under the covers of our political establishment.

All of the Above

In a better world, Paul Slansky's books would be issued to all students of American history to fill in the messy details that textbooks are too timid to include. Of course, this will never happen because his books would wreak havoc in a classroom -- they're far too funny for academic use. A few minutes into reading The Little Quiz Book you realize three things: we've had an amazing number of political sex scandals; you've forgotten more details of those scandals, astonishing details, than you've remembered; and American politics must attract a far higher percentage of lunatics than any other profession. The research that went into the book is phenomenal. The laughs are nonstop.
