December 1998 - Are you tired of reading the same timeworn opinions on THE CLINTON SCANDALS? Are you ready for a fresh new angle? How about an opportunity to experience Bill Clinton's own vantage point on his corruption-plagued political career?

An internationally-published cartoonist-turned writer whose previous book was featured in Harper's and Independent Publisher, and on numerous talk shows in the USA and Canada, Whitaker presents Bill Clinton's political scandals from Arkansas to Washington in humorous poetry with a conservative slant. He gives Clinton's take on the scandals from draft-dodging, dope smokng, and philandering to exporting missile technology, illegal campaign contributions, and the sex and lies Starr wars in hard-hitting fashion. To incorporate his distinctive flair into this unusual presentation, Whitaker penned 45 scathing political cartoons for this title, plus the art and design for the front and rear covers. The front cover, a watercolor, is a parody of the famous painting, "The American Gothic."

To add a cryptic dimension to this book, The Clinton Scandals presents its cast of characters by first names only. This challenges the readers to prove their knowledge on the Clinton Scandals. Their CLINTON SCANDAL QUOTIENT can be determined based on the percentage of characters listed in the SINdex (a guide for locating the characters in the Clinton Sea of Sin -- this book's version of an index) that the readers are able to correctly identify. The publisher is convinced that nobody will ace this test without the benefit of research except Bill Clinton, himself.

Beyond being the only Clinton title to be 1) a spoofed autobiography 2) presented in cartoon-illustrated poetry, complete with political caricatures and 3) a 160 page cryptogram, The Clinton Scandals is very entertaining, easy to read, and quite eduational. Because the issues are presented succinctly in the poetry, the expossé value is equivalent to volumes of prose on the same subject matter. This 160 page creation definitely challenges the industry standard on political books.
