Items related to Mission Accomplished: Things Politicians Wish They...
It is amazing how often politicians’ most public words come back to haunt them. George W. Bush once quipped, I have opinions of my own strong opinions but I don’t always agree with them,” while Richard Nixon famously called the funeral of President Georges Pompidou a great day for France.” This priceless treasure trove of verbal blunders, indiscretions, regrettable promises, about-turns, deceptions, lies, and just plain stupidity highlights the very best political missteps of all time. Ranging across the centuries and the globe, this salutary and hugely funny book is completely up-to-date with all the immortal lines our leaders have made into classics.
