Politicians, Partisans, and Parasites: My Adventures in Cable News

by Tucker Carlson  ()
average customer review:  3.7 out of 5 stars  (35)

Carlson is the conservative team member, the guy in the bow tie, on CNN's political-debate program Crossfire. His book is both memoir and commentary on current politics and the media--all with a slant, of course. Although many readers will disagree with his attitudes and precepts, everyone has to admit he is a good storyteller, intelligent and witty and sure of himself.
