Rick Mercer Report: The Paperback Book

Rick's celebrated rants are some of the sharpest political commentary to be found anywhere in the country' s media, and certainly the funniest. They are featured here, along with other moments from the show -- including encounters with Conrad Black, Jean Chrétien, and Anne Murray -- and many additional pieces, some of which first appeared on his website. Because when he's not jumping into a lake with David Suzuki or Bob Rae, or helping the leader of the Green Party kill a tree, Rick Mercer likes to relax by blogging. From Kabul, say. Or the bearpit of a leadership convention.

Rick Mercer Report: The Paperback Book will help you make sense of five extraordinary years in the life of Canada -- or at least laugh despite them.
