Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Vashi, Victor and Flleishell, Bill - Illustrations (illustrator). First Edition. 196 Pages with a Comprehensive Index. Funny stories from President Ford, Vice-President Rockefeller, and many other prominent Republicans. Cover has two photos: Ford piggy-backing a young lady, and Ford in monkey-like pose while playing golf. This book of Republican Humor is intended to introduce a bit of levity in the political arena. Here's the book that Time magazine hailed as chock-full of the favorite thigh-thumpers of the G.O.P. politicians. And chock-full it is, with over 100 governors, senators, congressmen and cabinet members providing the best of humorous stories, anecdotes and cartoons. The subjects covered run the gamut from Adam and Eve, golf, sex, prohibition and surfing to unemployment, fund raising and even memory tax. President Gerald R. Ford expressed his appreciation of humor when in the Foreword of the book, he wrote: In politics, a sense of proportion and a sense of humor should be written into the job description of every legislator and administrator. Officials who can laugh together can work together. The aisle separating Republicans and Democrats need never be so wide that it can't be bridged by good humor. I believe in laughter. I look on it as one of the precious gifts that God has given to mankind. I admire, as Walter Scott did, the wit that loves to play, not wound.
