Quotes

• “Throughout this book, we have tried to avoid using any of the jibes that are commonplace on both sides of the debate; after all, there is no shortage of people we can quote doing this.&nbsp;&hellip; If you have come to the book hoping to be told that George Bush is a moronic, oil-obsessed cowboy or that the French are "cheese-eating surrender monkeys," then we hope that you paid for it before reaching this sentence.”
• “A firm believer that "manners makyth man," &#91;Prescott Bush&#93; once took Joseph McCarthy to one side and lectured him for more than an hour on his boorish behaviour.&nbsp;&hellip; When McCarthy came to Connecticut to address a Republican meeting, Prescott recoiled at the rowdy crowd: "I never saw such a wild bunch of monkeys in any meeting I ever attended." At home he was such a stickler for standards that friends called him the "Ten Commandments Man."”
• “George H. W. has always had a reputation of being "somewhat to the center of center". Many Texans mistook his East Coast politeness for wimpishness, dismissing him as a "clean-fingernails Republican" or, worse, "the sort of man who steps out of the shower to take a piss," as one of our colleagues was once told.”
• “An Irish Catholic who grew up on a small farm in the Midwest and attended Marquette, a Catholic university in Milwaukee, where he liked to box, &#91;Joseph&#93; McCarthy personified populist resentment against the liberal elite.&nbsp;&hellip; "If you want to be against McCarthy, boys," he told a crowd of reporters, "you've got to be either a Communist or a cocksucker." No wonder Prescott Bush found it necessary to give him a lecture about manners.”
• “&#91;Barry&#93; Goldwater cheerfully broke all the basic rules of politics.&nbsp;&hellip; One fan came up with a soft drink called "Gold Water&mdash;The Right Drink for the Conservative Taste." The candidate, with characteristic political sensitivity, promptly spat it out. "This tastes like piss!" he spluttered. "I wouldn't drink it with gin."”
• “These days, American politics is a sport played between the center Right against the Right. From an international perspective, Democrats are now LINOs&mdash;Liberals in Name Only.”
