CRAZIES TO THE LEFT OF ME, WIMPS TO THE RIGHT

Goldberg is the former award-winning CBS reporter who ravaged his former employer in his previous bestseller, BIAS. In this book, the irascible Goldberg expands his polemic to include what he considers the "crazies" of the left--whom he portrays as milquetoasts for their social programs and politically correct motives--and the "wimps" of the right--whom he sees as traitors for compromising on social and fiscal policies. Read by the author, in a nasal New York tone that barely masks his contempt, this is a typically unsparing indictment so filled with personal invective that one wonders if anyone else could have read it as effectively.
