Scorpion Tongues New Updated Celebrity
From Thomas Jefferson to William Jefferson Clinton, SCORPION TONGUES is a usual history of gossip in American politics. Complete with wickedly delightful anecdotes of major and minor politicians and entertainers over the last 200 years, Gail Collins examines the evolving kinship amongst politicians and the press and the blurring of the lines amid politicians and celebrities. Supported by spacious exploration and written with an agreeably diverting flair, she speculates on how gossip reflects the current moral compass of the time, noting how a rumor, like an unpredictable summer tornado, may flatten one reputation while a similar story passes over another with hardly a rustle. “Hilariously readable” (The Economist), SCORPION TONGUES offers sinful scandals and mild hearsay for each taste.
ReviewIf you think the stories with regards to Bill Clinton are outrageous, Gail Collins has a heap of tales that will really burn your ears. Scandalous rumors have been a share of American politics since the days of George Washington’s alleged mistresses and Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings. Grover Cleveland was rumored to have beaten his wife so gravely for the duration of her pregnancy that their daughter was born with extensive brain damage. When Woodrow Wilson proposed to his second wife, a frequent joke claimed, she was so astonished that she fell out of bed. And John Fremont’s 1856 run for office was destroyed by repeated whisperings that he was, variously, illegitimate, Catholic, and a cannibal. Collins insightfully traces the kinship amongst gossip and government from an era when politics was the national pastime to the present blurring of the lines amidst politicians and celebrities.
From Kirkus ReviewsIf you think President Clinton is engulfed in rumor and innuendo, consider John Fremont. A presidential prospect in the early 19th century, he was rumored to be a cannibal and a Roman Catholic, the latter charge proving more detrimental to his campaign. This is but one anecdote from Collins’s fascinating, hilarious, and at times perceptive study of the role of rumor in US politics. Gossip regarding politicians is as old as the nation itself, the content of such gossip may tell us much in regards to our anxieties, our hatreds as a nation. Race and sexual malfeasance have been constants, yet have resonated more strongly at dissimilar times. Hamilton defended himself versus charges of corruption by proving he was an adulterernot a tactic likely To work today. Fremont was undone by a strong anti-Irish sentiment in an era of speedily escalating immigration. Newspapers in the 19th century, less concerned with respectability than with delighting a politicized readership and perchance benefitting political favor, could and would print anything in regards to a politician. As newsprints became more respectable in the 20th century, they also became more circumspect in their reporting. The private lives of politicians tended to stay private and became idealized by the public (as with FDR and JFK). This changed in the 1970s. Outlets for gossip started out to proliferatesupermarket tabloids, cable TV, the Internet, talk radio. At the same time, politicians growingly sold themselves as personalities, inviting speculation and investigation into their private lives. The idealized became tarnished. Yet the sheer amount of gossip (and real transgressions of politicians) have left us so cynical as to be astonished or outraged by very little. To thrive, gossip ought to have rules of conduct to be broken. Such rules are now missing or unclear, and this may prove to be the demise of political gossip. The book does go on (25 pages on Grover Cleveland is rather enough), but Collins, a veteran political observer and a fellow member of the New York Times editorial board, offers a good read that puts present political scandals into historical perspective. — Copyright ©1998, Kirkus Associates, LP.

 Gossip & Fun
By John G. Hilliard
This book is the greatest hits album of professional political muckrakers. Just when you think that they may not come up with something more despicable you turn the page and – bang, one more story full of lies and broken careers. The author lays the book out chronologically so that we commence with the founding father and the hits just keep on coming all the way to the current high level of performance. If you are fascinated in politics and follow the scene then this book is not a lot of much shocking as it is full of “that’s where they got it from”. If politics is a new sparetime activity then your sentiment of these stand up citizens will not drop lower. Overall, this is a fun book that you finish rather quickly

 A wicked romp through the history of American politics –
By A
Gail Collins held me alternately laughing or spellbound with her chronology of rumor and innuendo whispered through the ages down America’s corridors of power. A ought to read for any individual who loves American history, public relations, or just “good dirt,” Collins defines the issues behind scandals and discusses why sure gossip either grabs our attention or fails to take hold. I had a blast learning with this one. Thanks, Gail!

Gossip About Presidents, Who’dathunk?
By Ricky Hunter
Gail Collins’ Scorpion Tongues is, according to it is subtitle, the irrestible history of gossip in American politics, and that is incisively what it is. It will be just right for the reader who will want to settle down and take pleasure in all the mud slinging of the past and for a prospect to realize that neither times nor people modify all that much. The book does try to give a spun to the stories in order to warrant the book on more enlightened grounds of attempting to show historical patterns and dissimilar eras and forms of gossip. But that is not why people are reading this book and that is not why the readers will be passing this book to their friends. It’s the gossip, stupid. A scandal filled romp through American history.
