Most of the excerpts that appear on the book jacket will come as little surprise to Americans who are cynical about the political process. 'Most of my colleagues are dishonest career politicians who revel in the power and special-interest money that's lavished upon them,' the author writes. 'My main job is to keep my job, to get reelected. It takes precedence over everything.' 'Fundraising is so time consuming I seldom read any bills I vote on. Like many of my colleagues, I don't know how the legislation will be implemented, or what it'll cost.' |

"'Voters are incredibly ignorant and know little about our form of government and how it works,' the anonymous writer claims." If they buy a book supposedly written by an anonymous congressman, then yes, they are incredibly ignorant. Congressman? |
