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.
