The best thing about this book was that its comedy came from the fact that a lot of its topics aren't that far fetched. His satire of how Washington really operates is probably how it really does operate.
In general, I loved how fast paced the dialogue and story was. This is a great read for someone who was a fan of the movie adaptation of Thank You for Smoking.

Short review. Great political satire. The basic plot of this one is that a 29 year old blogger proposes that Boomers that are retiring should voluntarily commit suicide to save Social Security and the federal deficit. No one writes funny politcal satire like Christopher Buckley.
