Description:
Using the text of a Harper's Magazine Forum as ignition, Hangdog Theater launches
the backroom candor of six conservative strategists into absurdist horror.
"A Revolution, or Business as Usual?" (Harper's, 3/95) leaps off
the page and into a realm where rhetoric leads to a cha-cha dance, allegiances
turn to choke-holds and the well-oiled thought machine churns like never before.
Washington's finest conservative call boys Ralph Reed, Frank Luntz,
Mike Murphy, William Kristol, James Pinkerton, and David Frumunder the
moderation of Harper's senior editor Paul Tough, devolve into delusions of
grandeur and an all-new vision of totalitarianism cloaked in wolf's clothing.
