How to Test Negative for Stupid

And Why Washington Never Will

De: John Kennedy

Narrado por: John Kennedy

Narrated by John Kennedy himself, this audiobook of “America’s most quotable Senator” offers his perceptive (and hilarious) takes on the ridiculousness of political life in this scathingly witty takedown of Washington and its elite denizens.

How to Test Negative for Stupid offers the Senator’s tongue-in-cheek guidebook through Washington, punctuated by his thoughts on various issues and humorous stories about life from Louisiana politics and inside the Senate.

From the mind—and mouth—of ""America's Most Quotable Senator"":

• “Always be yourself . . . unless you suck.”
• “I say this gently: This is why the aliens won’t talk to us.”
• “If you trust government, you obviously failed history class.”
• “I believe that our country was founded by geniuses, but it’s being run by idiots.”
• “Always follow your heart . . . but take your brain with you.”
• “I’m not going to Bubble Wrap it: The water in Washington, D.C., won’t clear up until you get the pigs out of the creek.”
• “I have the right to remain silent but not the ability.”
• “Common sense is illegal in Washington, D.C., I know. I’ve seen it firsthand.”
• “I believe that we are going to have to get some new conspiracy theories. All the old ones turned out to be true.”

Honest, thought provoking, and thoroughly refreshing!

Other than seeing him in news clips, I didn't know much about Senator John Kennedy. After listening to him read his tome, however, i have developed a deep respect for this man as a politician who is willing to put his thoughts forward, regardless of whether someone might or might not like what he has to say.

Admittedly, I am somewhat of a cynic, and often believe you know that if a politician's mouth is open, they are probably lying. I got the impression while listening to Senator Kennedy, he may say things that people don't like, but he is honest, sincere, and very refreshing when he does. And as a Christian, he, like me, even prays for his enemies. He embodies a saying we have: "a man to ride the river with", honest,, reliable, and with character and principles.

I hope that you're not too close-minded to listen to a book that features straight-talk, candor, and frankness, because I learned some things about how our government works, and why it's often effective, at least in the short term.

But it also reinforced to me why it our form of representative government still stands as the best form of government that we humans have devised thus far.

Great Senator!

Enjoyed from the beginning to end.Great book. Highly recommending to everybody. This is how politics should represent the people.

Senator Kennedy...A National Treasure

It is so refreshing to hear a person have so much common sense. They're are about 80 current Senators that couldn't combine their understanding of what's right or wrong and match Mr Kennedy's.

And 8 plus hours of listening to him talk was just fantastic.

Enjoyed his reading as the author and laughed out loud while listening!

I enjoyed Senator Kennedy’s candor, wisdom, witty humor and genuine honesty in sharing his thoughts, views and life stories.

Real Kennedy

Great book! Comes across just like what you think his book would be like. Lots of real talk and Kennedyisms. The narration is a little slow, but that is easily corrected with the app.
