N2  - This is the book Congress doesn't want you to see. It whisks you inside the most exclusive country club in the nation - where money is master, corruption is commonplace, and lawmakers routinely break the law without consequence. Based on in-depth interviews with Capitol Police officers, doormen, elevator operators, waiters, clerks, pages, staffers, and members of the House and Senate themselves, Inside Congress exposes the arrogance, hypocrisy, lies, and outright; lawlessness of Republican and Democrat alike. Inside Congress unmasks the dubious character of those we entrust with our government: philanderers who champion family values; defenders of the working class who live like kings and treat their staff like dirt; and assorted tyrants, drunks, and petty thieves who are in the business of taxing us and enriching themselves
