Parliament of whores - P. J. O'Rourke

'P.J. O'Rourke's new book is the most outrageous American civics text ever written. It is insulting, inflammatory, profane and absolutely great reading' Washington Post

'Magnificently, wickedly funny diatribe against the American system of government by Washington's Mr Outrage . . . Buy this book - it is the funniest thing in years' Alec Campbell, Daily Mail

'Parliament of Whores ought to be read by everybody involved in politics as a test of competence. Those who don't laugh should have all political rights taken away from them' Kenneth Minogue, Sunday Telegraph

'Should you require a serious inquisition into US governance, give yourself a break and read this terrifically unserious one. I become a laughter-stricken pest who quoted paragraphs to anyone who would listen' Anthony Quinn, New Statesman & Society
