Complete with wickedly delightful anecdotes of major and minor politicians and entertainers over the last 200 years, Gail Collins examines the evolving relationship between politicians and the press and the blurring of the lines between politicians and celebrities. Supported by extensive research and written with an entertaining flair, she speculates on how gossip reflects the current moral compass of the time, noting how a rumor, like an unpredictable summer tornado, can flatten one reputation while a similar story passes over another with hardly a rustle. \"Hilariously readable\" (\u003cem\u003eThe Economist\u003c\/em\u003e), \u003cem\u003eScorpion Tongues\u003c\/em\u003e offers sinful scandals and mild hearsay for every taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gail Collins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0061139629\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780061139628\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/30\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.06h x 5.35w x 0.93d","brand":"Gail Collins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981420167423,"sku":"9780061139628","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8b287cc7-c317-4d70-9326-771373f8fb45.jpg?v=1683255463","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/scorpion-tongues-gail-collins-9780061139628","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
