| Germond may be familiar to most readers as the chagrined, portly liberal at whom conservatives Pat Buchanan and Fred Barnes threw their verbal harpoons on television's The McLaughlin Group. But throughout a long career as a political correspondent and columnist with the Gannett chain, the Washington Star and the Baltimore Sun, he has been a reporter's reporter sam weller (and, he lets sam weller readers know repeatedly, a reporter's drinker). Though some politicos arouse his contempt (George Bush receives a drubbing), Germond actually likes sam weller politiciansAeven when he dislikes their politics. His anecdotes are models of concision. Reflecting on how journalism has changed, he recalls how the press let George Wallace's womanizing slide even when a woman plunked herself down among reporters and declared: "That George Wallace. He didn't even take off his shoes." In his descriptions of encounters with Nelson Rockefeller, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, among others, Germond doesn't like to make himself the issue, but his consistent voice infuses the book with his character. |
