description: Ladies and gentlemen girls and boys prepare yourself for the next big thing in publishing  Rick Mercer Report: The Book.After a decade-long absence from our book stores Canadas preeminent satirist returns with a new collection of rants writings and comic encounters with the great and good of politics showbiz and literature. (Yes relive Pierre Berton offering advice on rolling a joint and Margaret Atwood showing off her hockey skills as a goalie.) Rick a tremendous writing talent as well as a verbal one has selected the best of his rants from the first four seasons of RMR sprinkled in choice moments from his interviews added a generous helping of other material that has never been broadcast and arranged the whole into revealing themes and groupings with all-new introductions reflections and updates. Who knew that Stephen Harper was quite so preoccupied with gay sex? That Paul Martin could be so forgetful? That politicians could be so sleazy? Well no doubt most of us did  but its wonderful to have it pointed out again by this brilliantly funny and charismatic talent.
