by George Lakoff I'm reading a book that codifies many of the dos and don'ts that make a successful modern political party. Is anyone else familiar with this author?

The 'what makes a successful political party' part scares me a bit. Surely the sections on corruption and cronyism would make for weighty tomes, indeed; seeing these codified must only make it worse...
He's a linguist. He founded the Rockridge Institute How conservatives use language to dominate politics. Bio from PBS
