Life of the Party: A Political Press Tart Bares All is a 2011 memoir by Lisa Baron describing her time as a spokesperson for Ralph Reed.
Lisa (Baron) Shore is a former spokesperson for Ralph Reed, who did not share many of his political views; even though the people she worked for were fundamentalist Christian, she was Jewish.[1]
Content about her work with Reed makes up the majority of the book.[2] She stated that the book reveals previously secret information, including Reed's view of the Jack Abramoff Indian lobbying scandal and Baron's sexual life;[1] it describes an encounter with Ari Fleischer.[3] The book also chronicles her political work with Christine Todd Whitman;[4] Baron made negative statements about Whitman, including some Stephen Lowman of the Washington Post stated "violate this website’s standards of decency."[2] Kirkus Reviews stated that the sexual encounters "seem almost quaint" since there was a "long list of prominent conservatives who have been caught doing much worse".[1]
As of 2009[update] the author was married to Jimmy Baron, a host of a radio program.[5]
