Republican Party Reptile

Republican Party Reptile, subtitled The Confessions, Adventures, Essays and Outrages of P. J. O'Rourke is a 1987 collection of essays by American satirical writer P. J. O'Rourke. O'Rourke planned to promote the book at the 1988 Republican National Convention. Though he described himself as a conservative Republican, this was not allowed, reportedly because the GOP did not appreciate O'Rourke's sense of humor.
