Book Reviews of Aristotle and an Aardvark Go to Washington: Understanding Political Doublespeak Through Philosophy and Jokes (Recorded Books Unabridged)
Book Review: Overdue assesment of political doublespeak
Summary: 4 Stars
From Jerome Stephens, retired reference librarian, Warren, Ohio
It is interesting to note the trends of thought in the reviews. So they concentrate on the Bush administration. That administration is the one that has been in the news for the last 8 years. If the book had been published in 2000, the Clinton administration would have supplied an equal amount of equally good material for the book.
Fallacies are fallacies, and can be hard to understand and trace. The authors have done quite well with an inherently slippery subject.
