Great Book

A disclaimer is in order: I am a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat and a Carville fan. That being said, there are lessons to be learned in this book for anyone. Regardless of whether you, like me, think the Clinton impeachment was a sham, there is something to be learned from Carville in that episode. He would have been the toast of Washington if he came out and trashed the President. He did the exact opposite and showed what true loyalty is.

Loyalty isn't exclusive of Politics

Carville's book, though delving mainly in his politically consumed world, is filled with interesting insights into mankind and the human bonds that have brought us through the last 3000 years. While he takes his shots at the GOP, he also talks about family, war and reasons we " Do or don't do unto others". While an admited Democrat, I believe we can all learn a lesson or two from this reading, for loyalty knows no party.

Ragin' Cajun does it again!

When I found out that James Carville had written another book, I was ESTATIC! I absolutely adore his style of writing and means of expressing his thoughts. He writes just the way he speaks, and it cracks me up everytime - because I can totally envision him saying all the things he is writing. While there are nincompoops who think that this book is boring, I beg to differ. I find it to be extremely informative, all the while entertaining to read. I was impressed with the examples Carville used throughout his book to demonstrate the concept of loyalty - from PeeWee Reese to Adolf Hitler. A person with even half a brain could not possibly not like this book - it is great! I have all four of Carville's books, and anxiously look forward to his next one!

Tell it like it is

Like in all his other books James Carville pulls no punches.He tells it like it is in his book "Stickin" and this little fact always has and always will get the extreme right-wing Republicans bent out of shape.The difference between Carville's book and all those other Clinton books by extremist the likes of Barbara Olson and the Ann Coulter's of the world is that James Carville provides facts not allegations and innuendoes. This is a must read for those who want facts and also for those who cherish loyalty something lacking from those who occupy the right side of the aisle.

Tells the truth and doesn't give a damn if anyone agrees!

This is James Carville's best book so far. The folksy recollections cut to the bone of truth and provide a refreshing candor like no other. I love James' honesty and loyalty to President Clinton. Also, he points out the hypocrisy and disgusting fakeness of people such as Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and William Bennett. His reflections on his Catholic faith are brutally honest and candid. James is the curmudgeon's curmudgeon, with humor like a modern Mark Twain. I love him!
