Product Description
Product Description
This witty and withering look at the Vice Presidency looks at the man who might one day sit in the White House. The author looks at other least-loved Deputy Commanders-in-Chief, profiles the tribulations of the long-suffering "Second Lady" Marilyn Quayle, rounds up and runs down a list of the ten stupidest people in Washington after Dan Quayle, and speculates on why Dan Quayle is actually the best possible candidate for President.

Not really about Dan Quayle
18 Jun 2000
Format:Hardcover
This book about Dan Quayle is not really about Dan Quayle. It is about the politcal life of the United States. The author just uses Dan Quayle as the pirism which he looks thru at the world of politcs and life in. It takes a bunch of pop shots at Quayle, but then, you knew that when you picked the book up.
Basically, the conclusion of the book is the the United States and the world can survive bad leadership. It has survived it in the past, and it can darn well surive it in the future.
It is also a very funny book. Which makes you want to read it.

Declining quality
3 April 2000
Format:Hardcover
Joe Queenan is a magazine journalist and this becomes apparent in his book. Whilst he can be exceptionally funny, he loses steam with each additional chapter. As a three to five chapter monograph this would have been ideal if unmarketable. Queenan is still humourous and readable - I frequently found myself laughing aloud in the most innapropriate locations as I read this. However his other books are better.

Damn funny, and a bit scary
15 Oct 2001
Format:Hardcover
Many a year after boy-Quayle has been out of the public eye this book is still a treat. Queenan does a nice little touch of history of the VP while adding nice little bits of humour. In this day and age of stupid people (um, Bush, um, Ashcroft, um, Powell...scary) this book helps you laugh a bit at these fools that lead the nation. Plus maybe question it a bit. Enjoy!
