(Reviewed by Don Jung)
Mr. Siegel sends a weekly letter to various Republican politicians on what they are doing
wrong. This collection of letters to each Republican senator (including multiple ones to speaker McConnell) is filled with a satirical look at the problems that the U.S. Senate faces, and he describes his zany comments on why they should change. His voice is not heard in the right circles, but the reader knows he has something here.
It takes time to find out the true history of our fifty-three Republican senators and why they refuse to confront the current President. These letters go right to the heart of what is wrong in Washington D.C. Rich Siegel writes with wit and humor as he attacks these elected officials for what they won’t do, and he does it with hilarious comments that are downright funny. He has a way of getting us to laugh but convinces us that we must do more. This book is a call for honesty, decency, and moral values. It is something this book has but we don’t see it in our Republican senators or our President and his shaky administration.
In each chapter he coins a nickname for each Senator with such words as “you have the class of a second rate 1970s Times Square Pimp” or “you are the walking dead cadavers from the 1800s.” He characterizes some senators “who pretend to possess a moral compass but, in all probability, check the balances in their offshore bank accounts more often than a bloodhound licks his ball.”
This series of letters shows that these senators and Vice President Pence are just “yes- men” who let the President do what he chooses without any moral judgment on what is right or wrong. Also, you won’t believe what the author actually says to them.
This is a must -read for anyone who is concerned about the future of the United States. Yes, you will laugh hysterically but will be encouraged to do more.
