About this audiobook

The dazzling, inimitable Molly Ivins is back, with her own personal Hall of Fame of America's most amazing and outlandish politicians-the wicked, the wise, the witty, and the witless-drawn from more than twenty years of reporting on the folks who attempt to run our government (in some cases, into the ground).

Who Let the Dogs In? takes us on a wild ride through two decades of political life, from Ronald Reagan, through Big George and Bill Clinton, to our current top dog, known to Ivins readers simply as Dubya. But those are just a few of the political animals who are honored and skewered for our amusement. Ivins also writes hilariously, perceptively, and at times witheringly of John Ashcroft, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, H. Ross Perot, Tom DeLay, Ann Richards, Al Gore, Jimmy Carter, and the current governor of Texas, who is known as Rick "Goodhair" Perry.
Following close on the heels of her phenomenally successful Bushwhacked and containing an up-to-the-minute Introduction for the campaign season, Who Let the Dogs In? is political writing at its best.

    What was true in 1992 is true today, only some of the names have changed but the game hasn't This "best of" collection from Molly Ivins covers Texas and US politics from ~1992 through 2002ish. One of the things I enjoy about Ivins, aside from her humor, is that was fearless. She called it like it was and took no prisoner. Some of these columns are as timely today as when they were first written. It's unfortunate she died before the Tea Party decided to try to "fix" the government, what a field day she would have had with them.

    If Noam Chomsky and the Sweet Potato Queens had a baby, it would be Molly Ivins. I wish I had gotten into her sooner, before she died, but her work is still hilarious, poignant, and a call to action. Even while cracking up listening to her scathing commentary on the political past, I was stirred by her impassioned plea for action in the political sphere. Rather than falling back on apathy and disengagement (which had plagued my generation and the one before it), she lights a fire under your ass. Don't like the way things are? Then stop fixin' to do something (as we Texans are wont to say)-get up and do it. Don't just bitch. (And yes, her language is that bad and worse.) She also made me want to learn much more about political history, mainly to answer my neo-con father-in-laws lauding of Reagan and Shrub and constant raving against the Clintons.
