But those are just a few of the political animals who are honored and skewered for our amusement. Ivins also writes hilariously, perceptively, and at times witheringly of John Ashcroft, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, H. Ross Perot, Tom DeLay, Ann Richards, Al Gore, Jimmy Carter, and the current governor of Texas, who is known as Rick \"Goodhair\" Perry.\u003cbr\u003eFollowing close on the heels of her phenomenally successful \u003cb\u003eBushwhacked\u003c\/b\u003e and containing an up-to-the-minute Introduction for the campaign season, \u003cb\u003eWho Let the Dogs In? \u003c\/b\u003eis political writing at its best.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Molly Ivins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House Trade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/12\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.96h x 5.34w x 0.85d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812973075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2005 pg. 65\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMOLLY IVINS\u003c\/b\u003e began her career in journalism as the complaint department of the \u003ci\u003eHouston Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e.
