Publisher's Summary

The dazzling, inimitable Molly Ivins is back with a new collection of withering and hilarious pieces on the worst politics has to offer. This audiobook features a rogue's gallery of politicians: everyone from George W. Bush and the Democratic presidential contenders to Arnold Schwarzenegger. This career retrospective contains Ivins's funniest, most outrageous (and outraged) work on "the best of the worst", in a volume sure to delight those on the left and infuriate the right. Containing a new introduction, and following close on the heels of her phenomenally successful Bushwhacked, Molly Ivins's latest will appeal to anyone looking for wickedly funny relief from the mess in Washington.

From AudioFile

In this selection of mostly humorous political columns ranging over nearly twenty years, Ivins praises some and skewers many, basing her left-leaning opinions on common sense, common decency, and a wide knowledge of affairs. She is delightfully plainspoken but likes people too well to be mean. Anna Fields delivers her words in a fine version of Ivins's voice and accent, with perfect emphasis and inflection, matching tone to content with exquisite care and taste. A sample of Ivins reading "Shrub" shows that Fields can't convey her gravity and fierce intelligence, but who could? The fun, energy, and wit Fields brings make these columns even more entertaining than they already are. (c) AudioFile 2004

By: Jackie (Houston, TX, USA)

Molly had her way with words as she dissected the shenanigans of politicians and those of the Texas variety in particular. She didn't mince words, and she was a truth and story teller of the finest degree. I miss Molly and her insight. Molly would have had a ball with the 2008 campaign and election. In this book, she laid out the issues of the election of 2000. We are facing the same political snafus and stupidity today. I imagine that she and her good friend, former Texas Governor Anne Richards are probably looking down on all of us and having a rip roaring time laughing their heads off as only they could do.

By: James (Atlanta, GA, USA)

This book is a great look back at Molly Ivins' experiences (so far) in American politics. Libs can rejoice at her early recommendations for those disenchanted by Reagan's reelection and compare it to the current mood regarding Bush's reelection. A great overview of all her work, "Who Let the Dogs" gives a great overview of Ivins' work, including biting satire and criticism of those in office (from Reagan to Clinton) and touching obits. Really powerful tribute to a living legend of Washington journalism!

By: Charlie (Portland, OR, USA)

Molly Ivins is a thrill to listen to, she's a great reader and a better writer. It was entertaining and truthful. I've almost finished it, but have to complain about the selection of articles: I can't remember the last time I've waded through so many obituaries! Yes, she uses them to both celebrate the passing of people she is proud to have known and as a jumping-off point to bring up an issue, but it gets pretty repetitive listening to ANOTHER obituary and ANOTHER one and ANOTHER one and >JESUSMAKEITSTOP!< ANOTHER obituary! I'm worn out from all the dead people!

Still a great listen, I'll go looking for Bushwhacked, next.

By: Mike (Oceanside, CA, USA)

This was my first Molly Ivins book. I loved her candor and expressions. Who could come up with "If you put his brains in a bee it would still fly backwards?" This book if full of them. Molly is smack dab in the tradition Mark Twain. The narrator (Anna Fields) is fantastic - she could BE Molly Ivins.
