How to Test Negative for Stupid: And Why Washington Never Will - Hardcover

by John Kennedy (Author)

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

One of the most distinctive and funny politicians, Senator John Kennedy (the one from Louisiana)--hailed by Politico as "America's most quotable Senator"--offers his perceptive (and hilarious) takes on the ridiculousness of political life in this scathingly witty takedown of Washington and its elite denizens.

Sharp, irreverent, and unapologetically direct, How to Test Negative for Stupid takes readers inside Washington through a lively mix of political commentary, Louisiana storytelling, and memorable observations about government, common sense, and human behavior.

Written with the wit behind some of America’s most quotable political one-liners, the book examines public life without wrapping its opinions in diplomatic Bubble Wrap. Its humorous stories and pointed reflections offer an entertaining look at the personalities, contradictions, and questionable decisions found throughout the nation’s capital.

Whether discussing government bureaucracy, political leadership, or the occasional disappearance of common sense, this hardcover delivers its arguments with Southern humor and a healthy distrust of conventional Washington wisdom.
