Presidential Indiscretions: The Unofficial, Unexpurgated Guide to Naughty Behavior Kept Under Wraps (or Under the Covers) by the White House!

By Leland Gregory and Gregory Leland

Book Overview

Over 250 outrageous acts, scandalous shenanigans, and risque romps in the Oval Office! One president and one vice president died with their mistresses at their side. 32nd president Franklin Roosevelt's mistress had to be whisked away from his deathbed before his wife, Eleanor, arrived, and VP Nelson Rockefeller expired during an intimate moment with his inamorata. When 29th president Warren G. Harding was short of funds during his twice-a-week poker games, he routinely anted up with pieces of White House china. As a joke, 7th president Andrew Jackson sent a mother-and-daughter prostitute team an invitation to the annual presidential Christmas party. With refreshing honesty, 36th president Lyndon Baines Johnson said to the press, "Of course, I may go into a strange bedroom every now and then that I don't want you to know about, but otherwise you can write everything." In a historic DUI, 14th president Franklin Pierce, losing a battle with the bottle, was arrested by Washington police when he drunkenly ran over an old lady-with his horse! And scores of other wild, weird, and downright dizzying deeds of America's presidents in action!

Customer Reviews

This book is worth it!

A friend told me about this book and I must say that I was more than pleased with it. For anyone interested in politics and government, or just enjoys humor, this book is great! The hilarious situations and notable quotes will keep you reading for hours, although this book is great to read bits at a time.
