Far from being the stuffed shirts seen in portraits and old photographs, the U.S. presidents were savvy politicians wheeling and dealing to get into office. In A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the White House, authors David and Johnny Johnson profile eighteen of our funniest - some would say dirtiest - elections, from 1828, the first election in which all states had electors, to the infamous 2000 "election from hell."
Filled with political cartoons from the 1800s to the present, which offer a peek at how candidates were seen in their day, this updated edition also includes chapters on the latest presidential scandals, from Watergate to the impeachment hearings. Concluding with a gallery containing an official photograph of and outrageous saying about each president by a contemporary. This volume will give readers a new perspective on the road to the White House.
