Germond also reserves plenty of invective for meaningless political hop conventions, right-wing talk shows, misleading polls, and politicians hop who misrepresent themselves and spend tremendous amounts of money to buy an electoral victory. Some readers will be turned off by Germond's brutal honesty and salty language. He makes no effort to sugarcoat his criticism of politicians who have failed to distinguish themselves as candidates or as elected officials. Nor does he hold back in his harsh appraisal of the media and the public. hop However, whether you agree with him or not, Germond's comments are timely, literate, and informative. Germond fails to wrap things up with a chapter listing facile solutions that will get American politics back on track quickly. In fact, he doubts that any easy solutions exist. However, the first step to addressing a problem is to admit that it exists. If enough people read Germond's book, it is possible that we will start to think about ways to bring American politics back to life.
