關於產品
Product Information
President of the United States Donald Vanderdamp is having a hell of a time getting his nominees appointed to the Supreme Court. After one nominee is rejected for insufficiently appreciatingTo Kill A Mockingbird, the president chooses someone so beloved by voters that the Senate won't have the guts to reject her -- Judge Pepper Cartwright, the star of the nation's most popular reality show,Courtroom Six. Will Pepper, a straight-talking Texan, survive a confirmation battle in the Senate? Will becoming one of the most powerful women in the world ruin her love life? And even if she can make it to the Supreme Court, how will she get along with her eight highly skeptical colleagues, including a floundering Chief Justice who, after legalizing gay marriage, learns that his wife has left him for another woman. Soon, Pepper finds herself in the middle of a constitutional crisis, a presidential reelection campaign that the president is determined to lose, and oral arguments of a romantic nature.Supreme Courtshipis another classic Christopher Buckley comedy about the Washington institutions most deserving of ridicule.

Reviews
Hilarious . . . the book is full of wry observations on the follies ofWashingtonhigh life. What makes it laugh-out-loud funny is Buckley's sense of how little you have to exaggerate to makeWashingtonseem absurd., Christopher Buckley isAmerica's greatest living political satirist. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it . . . Just take my word for it, and the word is: delicious ., Buckley's ingenious and mischievous tale of a Washington shakeup via an injection of good old American authenticity is funny and entertaining . . . clever, merry, escapist., Christopher Buckley is America 's greatest living political satirist. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it . . . Just take my word for it, and the word is: delicious., "The premise of Christopher Buckley's new political comedy,Supreme Courtship, isn't all that far-fetched. In fact...this novel could more accurately be called near-fetched -- disarmingly, hilariously so...You'll be belly-laughing through Buckley's byzantine plot, which includesPeester v. Spendo-MaxCorp., a case in which a male shoplifter stuffing merchandise into a burqa sues the Reno police force for racial and religious profiling, and ends with theSupreme Court deciding a presidential election. As the president sighs, "It's not as though we haven't been there before." Last go-around, it wasn't quite so uproarious.", [SupremeCourtship] is full of such tasty nuggets, along with arcane Latin phrases and mirth-inducing names like Blyster Forkmorgan . . . One of the book's telling points is that he never mentions which poltical parties these folks represent, and you realize it doesn't much matetr. When you are sketching a political cartton, donkeys and elephants alike are juicy targets., "The premise of Christopher Buckley's new political comedy, Supreme Courtship , isn't all that far-fetched.

One of the book's telling points is that he never mentions which poltical parties these folks represent, and you realize it doesn't much matetr. When you are sketching a political cartton, donkeys and elephants alike are juicy targets., As Jon Stewart proves,Washingtonis an easy target to satirize with its hypocrisy, ego-powered politicians and endless hot-air emissions.What sets Buckley apart is his ability to mockWashingtonyet convey a genuine admiration for many of its residents . . . Buckley remains hilarious., Hilarious . . . the book is full of wry observations on the follies of Washington high life. What makes it laugh-out-loud funny is Buckley's sense of how little you have to exaggerate to make Washington seem absurd., Once again, Buckley returns to his pet theme: the vanity and perfidy of the capital's ruling elite. And once again he delivers serious insights along with antics . . . Buckley has fun with the court's fractious politics and even more fun riffing on the strange creatures and customs of its marble halls . . . Buckley lampoons as an insider. A onetime speechwriter for George H.W. Bush, he knows the monograms on the linens and has supped with kings. But he's more an anthropologist than a settler of scores. His own libertarian-leaning politics shine through his narratives without weighing them down. And he's admirably fair-minded, skewering politically correct crusaders on one page and holy-rolling bigots on the next. His villains are Washington's ideologues, left and right, whose principles always boil down to self-regard. Buckley's heart belongs to the outsiders and mavericks who see through all the spin. Each of his novels may be light as air, but bit by bit they're building up into a significant social portrait, the beginnings of a vast Comédie-Washingtonienne . . . At a time of high political absurdity, Buckley remains our sharpest guide to the capital, and amore serious one than we may suppose., You can't make this stuff up . . . Unless of course you areChristopher Buckley, son of the late William, whose fictional satires are must-reads for those looking to understand our cultural moment, or at least have a few laughs at it. Buckley is a master at cooking up scenarios that are wild without being entirely absurd and populating them with attractive characters...
