About This Item
Synopsis
The Republican Party Reptile is a creature of the eighties. It’s neoconservatism with its pants down around its ankles. In the twenty-one pieces in this book, P.J. O’Rourke, reactionary and humorist, articulates this strange philosophy and shows us the progenitor of the species (namely himself) in action. O’Rourke visits the Lebanese civil war and the Marcos election campaign, sees Russia through the bottom of vodka bottle, examines sundry aspects of Western civilization such as the great bicycle menace and the history of the last fifteen minutes, and even explains how to drive a pickup truck into the woods at sixty miles an hour. Mean, outrageous, and always funny, O’Rourke is, as Christopher Buckley has said, “S.J. Perelman on acid.”
