Morris "Mo" Udall, Arizona's Democratic congressman for thirty years, was as well known for his sense of humor as for his dedication to environmental causes. And it was during his 1976 campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, when he claims he drew more laughter than votes, that James K. Kilpatrick pronounced him "too funny to be President."Udall kept four black notebooks of jokes that he had collected throughout his public life. This book, a memoir of Udall's career, collects many of those jokes to create a citizen's guide to the lighter side of politics.
