THE BIG ENCHILADA Campaign Adventures with the Cockeyed Optimists from Texas Who Won the Biggest Prize in Politics

As one of the nation's top political consultants, Stevens was brought down to Texas by Bush strategists to write ad copy, schedule interviews, and prep the candidate for debates. Edward Holland takes on a campy and relaxed tone as he reads a campy and relaxed Republican view of the 2000 presidential campaign. With tongue in cheek, he amplifies the banal humor of such lines as: "He was running for governor all over the state" and "People love to drink outside in Austin." Stevens is a humorist and an admirer of President Bush, and we see his loyalty in his comedy. Of greater importance, we learn from a political strategist what one must suffer to get THE BIG ENCHILADA. Listeners will experience the stress-breaking humor of life on the trail, interpreted to present a mixture of fun and fury. J.A.H. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 02]
