Praise:
“To say that P. J. O’Rourke is funny is like saying
the Rocky Mountains are scenic—accurate but insufficient. At his best he’s
downright exhilarating . . . Republican
Party Reptile is as rambunctiously entertaining as a greased pig catching
contest. If you can find a funnier writer than P. J. O’Rourke, buy him a
brandy, but don’t lend him the keys to your pickup.”—Chicago Tribune
“Republican
Party Reptile is hilarious. I laughed so hard reading this book that my
armchair needs reupholstering. P. J. O’Rourke has got to be the funniest writer
going, and boy does he go. This is high-octane wit, S. J. Perelman on
acid.”—Christopher Buckley
“The funniest writer in America . . . . His wonder at life’s
irregularity is also what makes Mr. O’Rourke a reporter of the top chop . . . .
He brings to his chaotic encounters a keen eye, a vivid, seemingly spontaneous
prose style dense with jokes, and an expansive sympathy for his subjects . . .
. For conservatives and liberals, or for anyone bent double under the weight of
political earnestness, Republican Party
Reptile is a wonderful bonus indeed.”—Andrew Ferguson, The Wall Street Journal
