FOLLOW THE MONEY How George W. Bush and the Texas Republicans Hog-Tied America

Dick Hill is an excellent choice to steer the listener through this account of politicians and their hangers-on whose influence spread from Texas to Washington. John Anderson, longtime observer of Texas politics, recounts a riveting chronicle of the scheming and scandals of what he dubs the "DeLay Group." Dick Hill's crisp reporting leads the listener along the convoluted trails laid down by Tom DeLay, Jack Abramoff, and company as they wound their way through local and national politics. These paths and players went all the way to Karl Rove, Harriet Miers, Alberto Gonzales, and George W. Bush. Hill presents the text with a straightforward delivery that catches the author's nuance and emphasis, irony and outrage. M.O.B. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/ MAY 08]
