O knihe

Ambitious young aide Ernst Funck thinks working to elect a conservative senator is a dream job-until he meets his boss, "Wriggly Rex." Rex Wrigley is an alcoholic lecher or a lecherous alcoholic, depending on his company and the time of day. When he holds a drunken press conference to roast his supporters and the press, hopeful Ernst realizes he can't win the election without putting a stop to Rex's destructive behavior.

In the privacy of the Wrigley office, things are no better. The Texas millionaire who funded Rex's campaign wants his money back. One of Ernst's co-workers wants a "deeper relationship." Bunny, the office manager, is an equal-opportunity destroyer. Even Porky, Rex's own campaign strategist, makes Ernst a rival. As if Ernst needed another problem, Rex's wife Blanche and girlfriend Angel both work in the office, too.

It seems there is nary a safe corner in which to hide. Ernst wants to win this campaign and show the competitive political world what he's capable of doing-but Rex and his supporting staff are making victory impossible. Rex is quite capable of ruining Ernst's career before it has even begun. Will Ernst pull out a win in spite of Rex? Or will he have to find the embarrassing witness protection program for failed campaign staffers?
