Synopsis
Bill O'Reilly, the always-controversial television pundit, has written another book that shows his characteristic anger and vituperation against those whom he perceives as America's famous and powerful. He lets no one he dislikes off the hook, whether it be the Clintons and their legacy of scandal, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, or Dan Rather. He claims to speak for millions of angry white males, disenfranchised by the changing economy, the depredations of figures in power, and the lack of simple answers to their problems. He buttresses his opinions of these figures with their own words about the issues he cares about - issues including Medicare, the death penalty, and crime. This book is a direct challenge to the elite, striking a blow for "real Americans."
