This book is broken up into various chapters of stupidity: Stupid Democrats, Republicans, Atheists, Christians and so on. The "Stupid Criminals" chapter contains one of Jason's most popular columns that appeared on The Detroit News' political website. The 2010 column, "Globe Al Warming Gets Rubbed the Wrong Way," takes on allegations that Gore got horny with a female masseuse in a Portland hotel. That column also continues the sick saga of Otis Mathis, the illiterate (no kidding), former head of Detroit Public Schools who was forced out after he admittedly fondled himself in front of a female superintendent.
No, Vines -- the former top PR guy for Ford and Chrysler -- is not making this up. He coined the Mathis scandal "Masturgate" and it soon became the rage in Detroit media and made his "Wisecracker" column one of the most popular on the site. Vines was named "Top PR Pro" in the auto industry in 1999, 2005 and 2006 by Automotive News, the industry's lead trade publication.
"Who says conservatives aren't funny? Jason Vines delivers his smack-down humor without regard to whose nose gets mashed. He punches past political correctness to expose the hypocrisy of the left, the bungling of business and the lameness of our political leadership. If you're looking for subtlety, don't look here. Jason is blunt. And he's right."
Nolan Finley, Editorial Page Editor, The Detroit News
"I've known Jason from his days as a wise acre PR flack for Chrysler through the time when he busted the shackles of restricted speech to finally enjoy the completely unfettered world of editorial writing when we shared the pages of the Detroit News. I've always felt that we've selfishly hogged his talents to ourselves in Detroit. Much of this book will make you laugh until you cry, but save some of your tears for the realization that what he writes about is all true. That's what really makes us sob. And only a "wisecracker" like Jason Vines could pull it off."
Frank Beckmann, writer and host of "The Frank Beckmann Show" on WJR
"Hoffa picks up where Vines' first book, What Did Jesus Drive?, left off. Profane and hilarious, with no sacred cows for stupidity as far as Jason is concerned. Politicians, sports figures, Atheists, Christians and more, all targets for Jason's exceptional world view. Read the book in one sitting, on a cross-country flight. The person sitting next to me wondered why I was laughing uncontrollably." Richard Truesdell, freelance automotive journalist
