P. J. O’Rourke

P. J. O'Rourke is America's funniest political satirist. He combines brilliant humour with a right-wing libertarianism that verges on anarchism. In best-selling books such as

Republican Party Reptile, Parliament of Whores and Holidays in Hell, he has attacked the absurdities of political life and savaged his opponents with style and wit. In these days of political correctness, he endeavours to offend as many people as he can. Filmed at the writer's home in New Hampshire, this programme explores the O'Rourke phenomenon.
