Summary
"Naked Republicans is the expose you've been waiting for. From Cheney to Condi, from DeLay to the Dukester, from Newt to Rummy, these are the weasels, wackos, and wingnuts who have turned the party of Lincoln into a five-kegger blowout. For the first time, in one hilarious roundup, Shelley Lewis reveals the naked truth about the fiscal conservatives who spend money like they print it themselves (oh, right-they do); the pious pols who regard the institution of marriage so highly they've moved on to their second and third wives; and the deceitful dissemblers who've earned a place in the Hall of Shame. In these troubled times, when you don't know whether to laugh or cry, Naked Republicans puts the hip back in hypocrisy and restores the fun to fundamentalism! Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
