The Political Zoo

by Michael Savage

Overview

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the real national zoo!

As Aristotle said, "Man is a political animal." Talk radio sensation and New York Times best-selling author Michael Savage is afraid that the ancient philosopher was all too right, and in ways he never could have imagined. In Savage's funniest, most biting book yet, the nation's fiercest independent thinker invites you to take a riotous tour through The Political Zoo—an outrageous look at today's most prominent politicos and pundits as the reptiles, rats, and birds of prey they most resemble.

Animal by animal and cage by cage, Savage brandishes his irreverent wit to keep these beasts in check. Serving as resident biologist and zookeeper, Dr. Savage asks that you watch your step when approaching the widemouth copperhead Ted Turner (also known as Mouthus desouthus), do not feed the ego of stuffed turkey Alec Baldwin (Notalentus anti-americanus), and please keep your children with you at all times around wolf boy Bill Clinton (Fondlem undgropeum).

"The world of politics is filled with uncivilized, snarling, rapacious beasts that, like untrained mutts, raise their legs and urinate on everything we hold dear," says Savage. And this sensational book is your guide for navigating the jungle of today's animal-political kingdom.

Editorial Reviews

Radio commentator Michael Savage likens America's political scene to a zoo. With a taxonomist's care, he finds niches for "birds of paradise" (birdbrain celebrities who parrot liberal platitudes), barnyard quarry (pot-bellied progressives and judicial jackasses), monkey house inhabitants (blue-state baboons such as Howard Dean and Michael Moore), and, of course, the Clinton big game reserve.

Michael Savage truly lives up to his name in this vicious, relentless tirade against the movers and shakers of our world. “The world of politics is filled with uncivilized, snarling, rapacious beasts that, like untrained mutts, raise their legs and urinate on everything we hold dear.” Reader Tim Lundeen tries to deliver wit and comic wisdom in Savage’s parade of politicos and media superstars and occasionally achieves a balance between the “beasts” and the zookeeper, but he can’t keep Savage’s cynicism, sarcasm, and unbridled cruelty from his voice. The production is jarred by blaring musical interludes that add a further unnerving element to a distinctly unpleasant listening experience. M.T.B. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
