Shelby Gragg & Stefan Petrucha
"A new poll suggests that one in five Americans
still believe President Obama is a ______."
After a long political
season of listening to Glenn Beck’s loony rants, Sarah
Palin’s off-kilter phraseology, and Rand Paul’s
downright oddball elocutions, authors Shelby Gragg and Stefan
Petrucha were struck by an astonishing similarity to the beloved
fill-in-the-blanks games of their childhood. And so the hilarious
spoof What the (Active Verb) Is Wrong with the Right? was born.
This laugh-out-loud
parody invites readers to create logistically impossible sentences
that'd make any right-wing nut proud. From the roots of the
rabid right (testing our knowledge of the McCarthy hearings
and Richard Nixon’s Checkers speech), through the O’Reilly
and Hannity ascendancy, and up to the heyday of Glenn and Sarah,
What the (Active Verb) Is Wrong with the Right? touches on the
greatest hits and the most outrageous misses of contemporary
conservative rhetoric.
Including selections
such as “The Ann Coulter Memorial Section,” “Ode
to a Decider,” “A Beck Word Finder,” “Drill,
Baby, Drill!” and “A Teabagger Fill-In,” here’s
the ultimate impulse buy/graduation gift/stocking stuffer that
will provide hours of cathartic and comic relief for weary liberals
everywhere. You'll laugh until you weep for the nation! |
