A lucid deconstruction of the politics and public figures shaping the social, financial, and military disasters of our times.
This selection of Michael Kinsley’s trenchant editorial writing inSlate (and elsewhere) since 1995 covers the end of the Clinton era (Monica, impeachment, etc.) and two terms of George W. Bush (9/11, the War on Terror, Iraq, etc.).During this time Kinsley left Washington for Seattle and founded
Slate, was opinion editor of the
Los Angeles Times, underwent brain surgery for Parkinson’s disease, and had other adventures that are reflected here. Although mostly about politics, there are articles and essays about other things, such as the future of newspapers, the existence of God, and why power women love
Law and Order.This is the work of a writer at the top of his form. Kinsley’s wit is a weapon that any talk-show host or elected blowhard should envy and fear, and the reader will cherish his sense of humor, which enlivens even the toughest subject matter.
