    About You Got to Dance with Them What Brung You

    In her long-awaited new collection, the Colt Peacekeeper of American political
    humor draws a bead on targets that range from the Libido-in-Chief to Newt
    Gingrich, campaign funny-money to the legislative lunacy of her native Texas–and
    hits a bull’s-eye every time.

    Whether she’s writing about Bill Clinton ("The Rodney Dangerfield of
    presidents"), Bob Dole ("Dole contributed perhaps the funniest line of the year
    with his immortal observation that tobacco is not addictive but that too much
    milk might be bad for us.  The check from the dairy lobby must have been late
    that week"), or cultural trends ("I saw a restaurant in Seattle that specialized
    in latte and barbecue.  Barbecue and latte.  I came home immediately"), Molly
    takes on the issues of the day with her trademark good sense and inimitable wit.
