Tucker Carlson is a member of one of Washington's rarest of species: he's a genuinely likable conservative. Noted by New York magazine as the pundit most likely to succeed in these Bushian years, Carlson's profile is unmatched. In this new book, he applies his deft and amusing hand to the goings-on in our nation's capital. An unabashed beltway insider, Carlson's rise has been meteoric. From his celebrated editorial work for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette to the bright lights of primetime, he has gathered a fan base on both sides of the aisle and is in perfect position to expose and defend the perceived absurdity that underlies the world of politics. Whether it's the towel snapping prowess of the President or the dumbfounding exploits of his predecessor, Carlson stands ready to pounce on any who dares to enter the political fray. Equal parts hilarity and insight, POLITICIANS, PARTISANS AND PARASITES is the work of a fresh new voice that will be with us for a very long time.
