Product Description
Supposedly some of our brightest speakers, politicians say some pretty stupid things. Members of America's major political parties put out a roaring stream of downright dumb comments, pronouncements, and observations. For proof, look no further than Ted Rueter's two new books, 449 Stupid Things Republicans Have Said and 449 Stupid Things Democrats Have Said.The Dems fair little better in 449 Stupid Things Democrats Have Said. Al Gore said, "I would have kissed Tipper longer at the convention." Hillary Rodham Clinton, during a 2000 campaign interview with Hot 97, a Manhattan hip-hop radio station, stated, "Motown, Motown: That's my era. Those are my people." Rueter snags them all and provides two wonderful collections of quotations that will truly go down in history.

 A Reality Check for Your Political Sanity April 4, 2004
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
One of the biggest challenges for any instructor of university level American Politics courses is how to overcome the cynicism and boredom of today's freshmen for things political. Luckily, we now have help from one of our colleagues, Dr. Ted Rueter. The two books, 449 Most Stupid Things Said by Democrats and its companion volume, 449 Most Stupid Things Said by Republicans, are 898 arrows of comedy able to pierce even the most opaque veil of student cynicism. These quotes are zingers that really work to liven up a lecture or shorten that cross-country flight. If you can laugh as you read this book (and you will!), don't worry, your political sanity has been confirmed!
Excellent Buy! March 29, 2004

I didn't know politics could be so funny. I bought this book to give as a birthday gift for my grandfather. I'm not really into politics and I didn't intend to read it, but I literally laughed out loud and couldn't put the book down once I started reading! I had to get a copy for myself. I know I'll reread this book again and again. Great book! You won't be sorry if you like to make fun of dumb politicians.
Great Read! July 28, 2006

I had a blast with this book. It really shows how these Dem's think! I loved the quote by Hillary Clinton "WE are president" if that doesn't say it all. Also, loved "God bless the America we are trying to create." -Hillary Rodham Clinton. Let's all hope she doesn't get the chance.
Lots of laughs March 30, 2004

Yes, politics can be stupid. And entertaining. Buy this one for your Republican friends, or people who are just fed up with the nonsense.
Great! September 3, 2004

This is a funny book. Neither party is immune from "Foot in Mouth Disease" It's great that we can laugh at ourselves from time to time. This is very important! There are enough bad and tragic things in the world, and Ted Rueter does a good job showing us where our political funny bone is.
Thanks Ted..
