520 | 1 | _a"In this much-needed book, Lanny Davis, former Special Counsel to President Clinton, reveals the depths to which politics in America has sunk, taking to task both the Democratic left and Republican right for their reliance on scandals and the politics of personal destruction. Using personal anecdotes, interviews, and historical examples, Davis traces the roots of this scandal culture from our nation's founding to its current level of destructiveness. Focusing on post-Watergate developments like the scandal-hungry press corps, overzealous independent counsels, and hyper-partisanship, Davis shows how politicians, media, and interest groups alike use scandal for their own self-interests. This is a clarion call to the American people to reject the scandal-mongers inside and outside the Beltway who engage in an endless cycle of "gotcha" politics."--BOOK JACKET. | |
