Except Bush didn't beat the Democrats: the Republicans stole both elections; and the fascination this book has apparently roused is just an example of the inability of Labour and Democratic politicians to look reality in the face. Tunes and pipers Phil Chamberlain alerted me the reference in the blog of BBC Chief Political Correspondent Nick Robinson to Gordon Brown reading Frances Stonor Saunders' Who Paid The Piper?, her long account of the CIA's 'cultural war' in the 1950s and 60s against the Left.
