It has always been the richest of languages, because of the vivid way in which many of our politicians express themselves, from the sound-bites with which they woo the voters to the devastating put-downs they use on each other. If a week in politics is a long time, twelve years is an eternity. It is that long since Brewer's Politics , the precursor of this volume, first appeared, and in that time the lexicon has grown exponentially. Nicholas Comfort is a government relations consultant and author of How to Handle the Media .
