He keeps telling us what a brilliant policy wonk Clinton is and how much of the book is devoted to wonkery, but his own review says zilch about any policy issue (except for a few vague lines about the Middle East) and instead wastes our time with psychobabble about sex. He also manages to put in some gratuitous, because irrelevant, slams of Reagan and of Barbara Bush (of all people). If this review is any indication of what McMurtry books are like, I’m staying away from Lonesome Dove–not because he’s a liberal, but because he rambles on uninterestingly.
