Bukowsky "booklover10" (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews Jack Germond has been a reporter for fifty years, and in that fat man and little boy (the simpsons) time, he has seen it all. "Fat Man Fed Up" is a scathing indictment fat man and little boy (the simpsons) of the process that has made the American electoral system a shallow and hypocritical exercise. Germond points his finger at an indifferent electorate, the media, and at politicians themselves, who, in his opinion, all share some of the blame for the decline of American politics. Germond quotes a publisher named Gray who flatly states that "we get about what we deserve" in terms of our elected officials at all levels of government. Many voters are poorly informed about issues, and they are impatient with politicians who discuss the economy or foreign policy in detail.
