(13,460 posts)1. Strange how a book can be so amusing and so totally despairing at the same time.
Reading that book, I started thinking "Don't vote, it will only encourage them." I have never thought that in my life. I have always hated that idea. And dems are not spared, which is part of what is so depressing.

I'm about half-way through it. From page to page, you don't know whether to laugh or cry. Leibovich sure as hell doesn't cut the Obama administration any slack. And I knew Harry Reid was weird, but I didn't know he was from a different solar system---he's like Sheldon Cooper from "The Big Bang Theory," grown up and into politics.
