types -- "With all due respect, I deeply regret holding
you in minimum high regard": only-in-politics expressions
-- Going downtown through the Overton window to play in
the endgame: people, places, and things, both real and
imagined -- On a glide path with an odd couple to nut-
cutting time: the legislative process -- Dead money, dog
whistles, and droppin' the G's: the lingo of campaigns and
elections -- Having to explain blowback on the tick-tock:
the media and scandals.
520 "This book is a tonic and a corrective. It is a reference
and a field guide to the language of politics by two
veteran observers that not only defines terms and phrases
but also explains their history and etymology, describes
who uses them against whom, and why, and reveals the most
telling, infamous, amusing, and shocking examples of their
recent use. It is a handbook of lexicography for the
Wonkette generation, a sleeker, more modern 'Safire's
Political Dictionary', and a concise, bipartisan guide to
the lies and helical constructions of American political
languages."--|cfrom the publisher.
