520			_aThis 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.

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.
