Entertaining if not always strictly factual. I think that, had this book been written after the rise of George W, it would have been twice as long. As it is, his dad gets quite a few entries. Foot in mouth disease - keeping it in the family.
Hilarious and humbling. Sir Boyle Roche and Yogi Berra were national treasures to their respective nations. Some of the quotations are only funny if you share the liberalish leanings of the compilers, but most of these utterances are indeed laughable.
Got this book as a stocking stuffer and found it to be OK. Some of the quotes were rather hilarious, but many were also very underwhelming. Overall the book was a decent pool-side read.
I'm pretty sure half of these quotes are wrong/made up/whatever, but I really don't care, because they're hilaaaaaaaaaarious. I can pretty much flip to any random page, read a couple quotes, and crack up.
Very, very funny.

amusing. If people followed me around with a notepad, I am sure that I would make this book too. :)
Fundamental for me on so many levels.
