With a pajama-clad President Reagan refusing to leave the White House on his successorโs Inauguration Day, Buckley has given this farce of Oval Office politics a nearly perfect beginning. Parodying the familiar form of the White House memoir, Buckley recounts the turbulent years of the Democratic Tucker administration, as told by loyalist Herbert Wadlough. Through this former accountantโs eyes, we see the infighting that plagues the White House, the Presidentโs faltering marriage to a former starlet, and his ongoing crises.
