About This Item
New York: John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2007. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 102x16x152. No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. 269 pp. edge wear to jacket; 'Very little of my backstory qualifies as Hallmark Card material, but it may help you to make sense of the way I see and interpret what's going on around me' - Jack Cafferty. For the millions who watch the "Cafferty File" on CNN's "The Situation Room", Jack Cafferty stands for common sense - the much-needed voice of reason who skewers right-wing nut jobs and liberal eggheads alike. For years, he's voiced the views, hopes, and fears of the average American in inimitable style. Now, in "It's Getting Ugly Out There", he brings that level-headed wisdom to bear on the most critical issues facing us today - and explains why Americans must take our country back from those who are harming it.'It's been a target-rich seven years for someone like me who enjoys pushing people's buttons and sticking pins in things that need pricking, from rich and fatuous celebrities offering foreign policy analysis to the latest lying Beltway blowhard impaling himself on his sword of pomposity...Anyone familiar with my daily 'Cafferty File' segments on CNN's "The Situation Room" knows I'm not exactly what you'd call the mainstream media's poster boy for feel-good news and commentary. In your face is more like it'. 'I'm no shrink, but I have the sense Bush has carried an angry chip on his shoulder much of his pampered life, seething just beneath the good-old-boy surface'.'The bottom line is that our government no longer works for us. The government works for the lobbyists who have had a big hand in influencing (if not helping to draft) legislation favoring not the average American citizen but instead big business: health insurance, pharmaceutical and oil companies, and defense contractors, among others. These are the guys who can make the kinds of political contributions that are needed to finance today's multi-million-dollar political campaigns'. 'We want our troops home, but we also want a new army of elected officials to march into Washington and take a fresh, uncorrupted look at the needs of the vast majority of Americans. If these two parties, however 2008 breaks, can't fix what's broken, this way of life as we've known it may vanish into some deep, dark crevasse'
