Title: Excellent Airport Fluff
Product review: Really just an extended National Lampoon piece that doubtless never would have been published but for the Beltway solid pedigree, the womb-lucky Mr. Buckley has written the perfect book for those extended airport delays plaguing those of us who don't fly private jet. The book is funny, yes, but while it purports to skew the D.C. crowd, it really just congratulates the reader for identifying who each character is pretending to ridcule. In short, the perfect roman a clef for the in-crowd. How many characters can you guess? How connected are you? So Banion is George Will, the hostess is Pamela Harriman/Katherine Graham, Kissinger is there...doubtless others that this poor fly-over country boy can't spot.Also, some of the humor is simply ham-handed. The Senate Hindsight Committee? Oh, please. Exhausted women demand the removal of Viagra from the market? Oh, Mr. Buckley, that's naughty don't you know!So, it's a quick engaging read, but not much more than that.
