Originally purchase for 0.60. Bill Adler compiled two mildly good compilations of Johnon's and Kennedy's wit. He was sorely misguided and some would argue insane to tackle this one. Just an example of how misguided his perception of Nixon was is this quote from the forward: ",Richard Noixon has displayed a delightful sense of humor, a sharp wit, and a unique ability to bring laughter to audiences and friends." I have been unable to raise even a smile from any section of the book. One of the funniest is a campaign poem from 1960: Nikita's a red Violet's a Blue Nixons the one To give him his due. There was a time when just telling people that a book existed with that title would bring howls of laughter but a time passes even that is no longer funny.
