Political Humorist and Author Robert L. Haught
Robert L. “Bob” Haught believes in the power of laughter and, once again, he proved to be a maestro of humor at the August 19th Madison County Republican Women’s club meeting. Haught was introduced by his wife, Mary, who told the gathering of about 40 people a little known fact about Haught - he’s an accomplished kazoo player.
Haught has also had a distinguished career in journalism, government and politics. From UPI correspondent, to working on the staff of governors and U.S. Senators, to editorial writer and political humorist, Haught has found plenty of material along the way for his witty observations.
Haught latest book, “The POTUS Chronicles: Bubba Between the Bushes,” is an offshoot of the Washington news column which he wrote for 18 years, spanning the terms of three presidents. He is also the author of, “Now, I’m No Expert on Cats and Other Mysteries of Life.In addition to excerpts from his election-year book, Haught regaled his audience with lively commentary on the current crop of presidential candidates. His humor veers to gentle satire but “my writings are based on fact,” said Haught.
“My Washington experience convinced me that we truly live in a great country. The nation’s Capitol really is a symbol about what is good about America.”
