This is an entirely safe book; you could recommend it to an elderly spinster aunt, or a conservative clergyman without any fear of offense. It is tame middlebrow humor reminiscent of the "daily chuckle" one might find in a small town paper. I found it hard to believe that it was written in the '80's by a man who was still in his thirties; it reminds me of the type of satire Art Buchwald wrote in the '60's. The average television sitcom has more wit and punch and is far more riske.
This involves a parody of a presidency in no way reminiscent of others beset by one tame crises after another. It is totally devoid of the rapier wit, irony, and irreverance one finds in Buckley's later works. The book takes no risks and no group could be bruised. As I struggled to get through it I never cracked a smile.
Buckley is not just amusing, but often insightful. While the events of the book are absurd, the characters are often all too realistic. A must-read for Buckley fans, and highly recommended for anyone else.
