      abstract = {Dana Milbank writes The Washington Post's "Washington  Sketch" column, a takedown of the ridiculous and the  powerful that appears four times a week, and has earned the  title of "the most hated man in the White House Press  Corps." Here he skewers the peculiar and alien tribal  culture of politics, examining the mating rituals of Homo  politicus, demonstrating how status is exhibited in the  Beltway's rigid caste system, and detailing the ritual  sequence of human sacrifice whenever a scandal erupts (the  sacrificial victim is not the guiltiest party, but the  lowest ranked). He mows down the pompous and the stupid  among Democrats, Republicans, reporters and bureaucrats by  naming names. Every appalling anecdote in this book is,  alas, true.--From publisher description.},
