Excerpts

Who drank? Who didn't? What of Wilbur Mills? Wayne Hays?
Who were the great womanizers?
Who lived like kings on Capitol Hill?
Who were sadistic? Who said words so cruel he caused a congressional colleague to fall dead as he left the floor of the House?
Who were called "the Five Sisters" for their religious ardor? And speaking of sisters, how angelic are the women in Congress?
All will be answered in this ultimate look at life as it is truly lived on Capitol Hill, as seen through the eyes of Fishbait Miller. So well-known is this former Doorkeeper to the general public, who heard him intone, "Mistah Speakah, the President of the United States," that mail addressed simply to "Fishbait, Washington, D.C had no trouble coming directly to him.
His material is fantastic. Inside stories on the men who run the country. Inside stories on the Presidents he knew before they were Presidents. His stories may not low the dome off the Capitol, but they should tilt it a little.
