From the Publisher
Rick Mercer Report: The Book was the publishing
phenom of 2007, hogging the top of the bestseller lists. Prime
ministers' memoirs came and went, and RMR
outstayed them all. And now it's back - bigger and better
and funnier than ever.
Rick Mercer Report: The Paperback Book is an
updated, expanded remix of its bestselling predecessor, containing
10,000 words of new material from the show's fifth season.
Rick's celebrated rants are some of the sharpest political
commentary to be found anywhere in the country's media, and
certainly the funniest. They are featured here, along with other
moments from the show - including encounters with Conrad Black,
Jean Chrétien, and Anne Murray - and many additional pieces, some
of which first appeared on his website. Because when he's not
jumping into a lake with David Suzuki or Bob Rae, or helping the
leader of the Green Party kill a tree, Rick Mercer likes to relax
by blogging. From Kabul, say. Or the bearpit of a leadership
convention.
Rick Mercer Report: The Paperback Book will help
you make sense of five extraordinary years in the life of Canada -
or at least laugh despite them.
