- No Way to Treat a First Lady: A Novel by Christopher Buckley Very Enjoyable Christopher Buckley is not so much a novelist as a free-ranging satirist looking for targets. In Thank You for Smoking it was big tobacco and earnest reformers; in God Is My Broker it was business and religion; and in No Way to Treat a First Lady, its the entire legal profession, not to mention the Washington establishment. The novel opens with the President of the United States returning to the conjugal bed after an illicit Lincoln Bedroom romp with the Streisandesque Babette Van Anka. His wife, the long-suffering Beth McMann, promptly clocks him with a Paul Revere spittoon. Several hours later he dies.

And hey, the Steuben ashtray makes a second appearance in Mr. Buckley's writing. Though the broad outline of this book is the media frenzy surrounding the murder trial of a First Lady accused of murdering her husband, this book takes massive swipes at America's September 10 celebrity culture. Hysterically funny stuff. For More 5 Star Customer Reviews and Lowest Price: No Way to Treat a First Lady: A Novel by Christopher Buckley 5 Star Customer Reviews and Lowest Price!
