It seems to me [it is] getting a very good reaction from conservatives around the country& The last time I read a book that was this funny was Christopher Buckley's White House Mess." Jed Babbin, Editor, Human Events "Latimer comes across as honest... He's a deft writer, and has a good eye and a nice turn of phrase. You may find yourself surprised by what he has to report. I was. ...

Pat Buchanan, MSNBC news analyst and contributor "Lots of people write accounts of their time at the White House. Virtually no one has done it as well... This book is excellent: funny, sensible, informative, interesting as hell , and beautifully written. If only there had been more Matt Latimers in the Bush administration." Tucker Carlson, Fox News analyst, former co-host of CNN's "Crossfire " "Matt Latimer's hilarious account reads like political satire, except it's all true&Latimer's description of government bureaucracy should be framed and placed in every government office& completely accurate and completely hilarious.

Hayes, Senior Writer Weekly Standard , Fox News contributor " A lot of really positive things about President Bush in this book & I like knowing more about what's happening in these halls of power. And as a conservative,& I'm fascinated by this because this can't happen again to the Republican Party. This party can't go down this road of big spending... That's not conservatism.

Joe Scarborough, Host, MSNBC's Morning Joe From the Hardcover edition., Bipartisan Praise for SPEECH-LESS "If P.G. Wodehouse had gone to Washington and worked for senators, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and President George Bush, this is the book he would have written. Matt Latimer's hilarious account reads like political satire, except it's all true…Latimer's description of government bureaucracy should be framed and placed in every government office. Others have written well on 'what it takes' to get to the White House,Speech-lessnails the awful, bizarrely riveting comedy of what it's like when you get there. Although the general plotline is: Exuberant young conservative goes to Washington, becomes disillusioned, leaves the political world forever -- I think Latimer will have to keep one foot in politics, if only for the material." -Ann Coulter "The best fly-on-the-wall account yet of life in the beleaguered Bush administration. Hilarious, hair-raising and full of inside detail... Latimer delivers a lively, enormously absorbing story of an idealistic young conservative on a collision course with reality. He is our Holden Caulfield among All the Kings Men." -Wayne Slater, co-author of the New York Times bestsellerBush's Brain "Wonderful…offers readers a glimpse of a world they never see, and gives Republicans in particular a lot to think about if they ever hope to reclaim power…Even more than the messages this book conveys, at its heart this is a compelling story about idols who sometimes disappoint you, unlikely heroes who surprise you, and dreams that don't always turn out the way you hope they will." -Stephen F. Hayes, Senior Writer, The Weekly Standard and Fox News contributor "WhatThe Devil Wears Pradadid for the fashion set, Latimer does for Washington with this insider's look at the world's most disappointing city, and the people who make it fail… If you want to know what makes our nation's capital a self-inflicted disaster, read this book." -Stephen Dinan, White House Bureau Chief, The Washington Times "A ground-level, laugh-out-loud chronicle of government ineptitude…Top administration figures and Bush himself may not have noticed that this witty and increasingly skeptical young man was taking due note of the blundering, but history will remember and value the story he tells." -Ryan Grim, Senior Congressional Correspondent, The Huffington Post "Lots of people write accounts of their time at the White House. Virtually no one has done it as well as Matt Latimer. This book is excellent: funny, sensible, informative, interesting as hell, and beautifully written. If only there had been more Matt Latimers in the Bush administration." -Tucker Carlson, Fox News analyst and former co-host of CNN's "Crossfire"
