Fields for President

The book itself is in amazingly good condition! I still can't believe I purchased this book for a penny! You cannot find this book brand new at all, and for being in such great condition I would have been willing (gladly) to pay much more. Arrived quickly, wnhat else can I say. Oh yeah, WC Fields is the greatest, funniest human being to ever grace this often dismal planet. Forget all the modern comic (geniuses! seriously forget all of them) Mr. Fields did it first and did it better! No other child-hating, puppy kicking, misanthropic, alcoholic could live to be such a beloved and iconic star except for Mr. William Claude Fields! I salute you sir!!!!

W.C. Fields was busy juggling all over the world at the age when he should have been in school. However Fields educated himself with a dictionary, several different varieties of readers and books on grammatical construction. In this book he juggles with words and tells us why he is the most suitable canditate for President with lines like ... "The major responsibility of a President is to squeeze the last possible cent out of the tax payer; thus he should be at least familiar with the intricacies of the ransom notes that the Internal Revenue Department sends out each spring." "If the chief executive is not an expert in the art of making resolutions, how can he hope to break his campaign promises gracefully." "If he knows nothing else, a President should at least understand the secret of success in the business world. For, after all, what is the Presidency but a glorified business - or, at least, a fine racket?" Naturally he highlights his own expertise in these matters and winds up with ... "Remember, folks, cast a vote for Fields and watch for the silver lining. Cast several votes for Fields and watch for the police."
