Great Presidential Wit (...I Wish I Was in the Book): A Collection of Humorous Anecdotes and Quotations (Lisa Drew Books (Paperback))

Famous for his deadpan humor New York Times bestselling author Senator Bob Dole here brings us his favorite witticisms and hilarious remarks of this countrys commanders in chief. Great Presidential Wit collects the former senators favorite funny stories and remarks by and about American presidents -- from George Washington to George W. Bush. Senator Dole tackles the assignment of ranking the presidents from the funniest (Abraham Lincoln) to the least funny (Millard Fillmore) and everyone in between. With chapters cleverly organized according to the senators own opinions -- from A Class by Themselves (Lincoln Reagan the Roosevelts) and Yankee Wits (Coolidge Kennedy) to The Jokes on Them (Taylor Harding Van Buren Buchanan the Harrisons Pierce Fillmore) -- Great Presidential Wit is the perfect antidote to the long political season and a patriotic reminder that our leaders are human and often witty and amusing.
