Book summary

Jack Germond is both respected and famous--respected as a political writer for several of the best newspapers, and famous as, for many years, a regular panelist on television's THE MCLAUGHLIN GROUP--where he was often a thorn in host McLaughlin's side. Here, Germond writes from the perspective of several decades, venting his spleen at what he sees as a sad decline in the quality of politics, politicians, and political coverage. He sees politicians as corrupted by polling, metrics, money, and fear, and the media cowed to the point where they trivialize both people and issues. The voters, too, have gotten, in his view, the leaders they deserve. While this may seem an obvious list of targets, Germond here takes the opportunity to think and write at length on these matters, and his views are eminently readable, as are his many insider anecdotes about the powerful and privileged.
