The terrain is well trod: from intelligent design to the dubious link between Saddam Hussein and 9/11, Pierce argues, prevailing political wisdom in the U.S. has been based not on fact but on who could shout loudest. The book elevates itself with original reporting, some witty asides (a Mitch Albom best seller is slammed as "what Dante would have written had he grown up next door to the Cleavers") and judicious use of examples from American history.

That switch, he said, appears to be the loudest statement of disapproval Specter can make about the Republicans and not necessarily an endorsement of the Democrats. "I don't expect Arlen Specter to be any different as a Democrat than he was as a Republican ... He was a maverick Republican. He's going to be a maverick Democrat," Ceisler...
