Feeling disallusioned with the state of global politics? Get some humorous perspective from American political satirist and journalist P.J. O’Rourke, who’ll offer his wit and insight on the Trump vs Clinton race to presidency when he takes to the stage at Sydney Opera House in August. Following an address on the US election, O’Rourke will talk with senior fellow at the United States Studies Centre, Tom Switzer.
O’Rourke reluctantly gave Hillary Clinton his back-handed endorsement: “I endorse Hillary Clinton for President. She is the second-worst thing that could happen to America. I endorse her. And all her pomps. And all her empty promises. Better the devil you know than the Lord of the Flies on his own 757.”
