Items related to Attack Poodles and Other Media Mutants: The Looting...
They are coddled and well-groomed. They chase after the latest scandal and then run around in crazy circles, using the TV studio as their show ring and wee-wee pad. There is no controversy they can't trivialize, no issue they can't vulgarize. They obey their political masters and betray the trust of the audience with every bark. They're the attack poodles-a new breed of celebrity pundit. Wisecracking and impassioned, Attack Poodles and Other Media Mutants laces into an all-star cast of blowhard egotists who pound our eardrums and insult our intelligence: Bill O'Reilly, Joe Scarborough, Peggy Noonan, Dennis Miller, Laura Ingraham, Tucker Carlson. But it also delves below the surface squall of infotainment to show how attack poodles function as pets of the Republican party, guard dogs for George Bush, and tail-waggers for war. In the iconoclastic spirit of Michael Moore's Stupid White Men, Al Franken's Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, and Molly Ivins' Bushwhacked, Attack Poodles makes serious fun of the pack mentality that has taken over politics and the press in this country and urges us to rip off our blindfolds before it's too late.

About the Author:
James Wolcott is the cultural critic for Vanity Fair and has written for the New Republic, the New Yorker, the Wall Street Journal, and the London Review of Books. He lives in New York City.
From AudioFile:
Muzzle in hand, Woolcott debunks and defangs the "attack poodles" of the right- wing media--including Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Dennis Miller, and a kennel-full more of these biting, snapping, reactionary Republican lapdogs. Armed with a rolled-up newspaper of wit, sarcasm, and detailed information, the author, through the marvelously funny interpretation of Dennis Boutsikaris, will keep you laughing while you get wiser to the outpourings of the mini-canines mentioned in the title. Thanks to our reader, the snarky humor and highbrow high jinks come through loud, clear, and laughable. D.J.B. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
