![]() ![]() ![]() No Way To Treat a First Lady, Florence of Arabia, Boomsday and Supreme Courtship. God Is My Broker ( ISBN 6-5) is a satirical book written by Christopher Buckley and John Tierney, published in 1998 by Random House which parodies self-help books, such as those of Deepak Chopra, whose works are particularly singled out. Supreme Courtship is another classic Christopher Buckley comedy about the Washington institutions most deserving of ridicule. Christopher Buckley graduated cum laude from Yale University in 1976. As before, Buckley (Boomsday, 2007, etc.) blurs the line distinguishing the historical, the plausible and the preposterous amid the political circus of anything-goes Washington.The satiric scenario has plenty of potential, but sketchy characters and slapdash plotting result in a split decision. Soon, Pepper finds herself in the middle of a constitutional crisis, a presidential reelection campaign that the president is determined to lose, and oral arguments of a romantic nature. Will Pepper, a straight-talking Texan, survive a confirmation battle in the Senate? Will becoming one of the most powerful women in the world ruin her love life? And even if she can make it to the Supreme Court, how will she get along with her eight highly skeptical colleagues, including a floundering Chief Justice who, after legalizing gay marriage, learns that his wife has left him for another woman. From the author of the exuberantly comic and nationwide bestseller The White House Mess comes a novel of suspense and international intrigue. After one nominee is rejected for insufficiently appreciating To Kill A Mockingbird, the president chooses someone so beloved by voters that the Senate won’t have the guts to reject her - Judge Pepper Cartwright, the star of the nation’s most popular reality show, Courtroom Six. In bestselling author Christopher Buckley's hilarious novel, the President of the United States, ticked off at the Senate for rejecting his nominees, decides to get even by nominating America's most popular TV judge to the Supreme Court. President of the United States Donald Vanderdamp is having a hell of a time getting his nominees appointed to the Supreme Court. ![]()
