Great Presidential Wit: (...I Wish I Was in the Book)

The author of the bestselling "Great Political Wit, " and well known for his own delectably dry wit, Bob Dole takes a bipartisan approach to humor in this marvelous collection of witticisms, rib-tickling remarks, and wry observations issued from the highest office in the land.

Famous for his deadpan humor, "New York Times" bestselling author Senator Bob Dole here brings us his favorite witticisms and hilarious remarks of this country's commanders in chief. "Great Presidential Wit" collects the former senator's favorite funny stories and remarks by and about American presidents -- from George Washington to George W. Bush. Senator Dole tackles the assignment of ranking the presidents from the funniest (Abraham Lincoln) to the least funny (Millard Fillmore), and everyone in between. With chapters cleverly organized according to the senator's own opinions -- from "A Class by Themselves" (Lincoln, Reagan, the Roosevelts) and "Yankee Wits" (Coolidge, Kennedy) to "The Joke's on Them" (Taylor, Harding, Van Buren, Buchanan, the Harrisons, Pierce, Fillmore) -- "Great Presidential Wit" is the perfect antidote to the long political season and a patriotic reminder that our leaders are human and often witty and amusing.
