Texas political pundit Molly Ivins is being funny when she titles her book WHO LET THE DOGS IN? But she's serious enough to know that those in power need their leash yanked every so often just to keep them honest. In this collection of portraits of political leaders of many breeds, Ivins mostly scoops the poop on right-wing personalities from Reagan through the person she refers to as Dubya; but, in fairness, she also takes shots at Jimmy Carter and Al Gore. Being the good Texan that she is, she does not neglect Ann Richards or Governor Rick Perry. Ivins is sort of the Dr. Phil of politics, reminding people in power to Get real, and her common-sense, everyday style of writing has that same appeal that made her previous books, SHRUB and BUSHWACKED, best sellers.
