“A delightfully humorous collection of political putdowns and comebacks that will make you wish you had said that, while providing wonderful ammunition for future encounters! ” JOHN PALMER, Former news anchor, Today Show; Host, television program, Retirement Living “Although history may repeat itself (or as Twain reportedly said, at least rhyme), the comebacks delivered by guys like Coolidge and Churchill were of a truly classic vintage. I'll Be Sober in the Morning is a wonderful reminder that with a little acid finesse, agreeing to disagree in partisan politics can be a downright hoot.” BRADY WELCH, Lapham's Quarterly
