Katy Flowers said It IS a laughing matter. All you’ve ever wanted to know about our capital, capitol, D.C., and government – lots of inside the Beltway information served up with wise-cracking wit and (non partisan) insight. I’ve made notes for my next trip to D.C., and I’ve found the perfect gift for the politicos in my life.. "A great primer on how Washington works" according to R. Patrick Baugh. One of the best ways to learn how Washington works, it's a must read for anyone thinking of coming to Washington to work in government and the industries that surround it. There were a few errors, but mostly spot-on descriptions of the hows and whys of Washington ways.. A witty way to teach Americans how real government works I'm a bit of a political junkie. This book is geared toward anyone wanting to understand how the real US government works, both the good and not-so-good. Eliot Nelson understands our Congress, and teaches in an often witty way how it worksand not works.

Apparently adultery is rampant in DC and it is bi-partisan.This book is organized like an encyclopedia, starting with "accents" and ending with "Ya'll" and "zoophilia." Pages that start with a new letter are marked,

Arranged from A to Z, TheBeltway Bible provides an insider's perspective of politics and government, breaking down both into easily-digested entries on subjects like how legislation is formed, the scope of the president’s power and an overview of federal agencies. How is legislation crafted?How do you lose an election? What do “bundler,” “quorum call” and “omnibus” mean? Why do some of the White House’s most important meetings occur at a Starbucks? Why are Washington insiders obsessed with something called Jumbo Slice?What, exactly, is a “skintern?” Eliot Nelson, one of Washington’s funniest and most admired young journalists, knows how the sausage factory works and his new book, The Beltway Bible, is every citizen's must-have owner’s manual. The Beltway Bible makes our complex government accessible in a way that will please everyone from Jon Stewart to John Doe. Nelson also looks at D.C.'s less-well-known power structures: the internal pecking order of White House aides, the high school cafeteria power struggles behind party invites and the petty congressional arguments over how highway on-ramps are named.
