Summary: Liberals Destroy America
Review: I can't believe books like this can even be published in America. Al Franken lies about the best people in America today. It's people like him that are causing the steady downfall of Christian morality in this country. I don't even have to read this book to know it is awful liberal garbage.
Rating:
Summary: Just Another Coward
Review: I can't believe Franken actually wrote an entire book on criticizing a particular news channel. It only proves that Liberals do not have any ground to fight back except by resorting to personal attacks. Now I must admit that I haven't finished the entire book due to a toilet clogged with puke. If you want to find out how liberals are detrimental to our system, and how their sole purpose in life is to complain out of bitterness of a Republican president, by all means read this book.

Summary: a book FOR JERK-OFFS by JERK-OFFS
Review: I can't believe how wretch after wretch posing to be from the left (yes, the libs are insane, but not as extremely gone as the radicals on these reviews) presumes that they have the right to look down on anybody who exercises their freedom of rating this slop however they want to!I can't believe how these radicals, who have hijacked what it means to be on the left (like Bin Laden hijacked Islam), claiming to be libs, repeatedly frown on the reviewers they mistakenly take to be conservatives by citing that they can't "refute ambiguous Al". This is apparently a stigma towards conservatives. Yet when you look at the sickly hate-filled, bigoted, inborn prejudice of how ALL the lefty reviewers have been branding the so-called conservatives, it makes one sick to the stomach at how totally rotted with partisan and biased dislike these liberal cockroaches are. Take most loose, liberal reviewers. Those Dumb F#*@s slur all on the right as being neocons, amoral liars, and dittoheads. They declare this absolutely, with no tolerance whatsoever for them to reconsider their pathological profiling, like it's a universal fact. If this is what the mental-mongoloid, liberal reviewers errantly view as "supporting their case and Franken", continue to dig your own graves. You're simply being exposed, and re-exposed, for being the most narrow-minded and filthily, inherently diseased with prejudice so suffocating, it manifests itself in how stupidly you dictate your partial views so ruthlessly.

Summary: So funny, so "right on"
Review: I can't decide whether I liked this book so much because it is laugh-out-loud funny or because it is so "right on" (excuse the pun). I often watch the Fox News channel because I am convinced it is the funniest show on tv. Where else can you hear a fair and balanced approach like this recent exchange: Hannity was interviewing a young man who had been arrested for his activities as a human shield in Iraq. Hannity lambasted the man, saying that we live in a society where people must obey the law and if they don't, they will and should be punished. A few minutes later, while interviewing the judge who defied the Supreme Court's ruling to remove the ten commandments from his Court house, the same Hannity congratulated the judge for disobeying the law and standing up for what he thought was right. One has to laugh at such bald-faced, politically motivated hypocrisy. Thanks, Al, for not letting them get away with it.

Summary: What a lying hypocrite!
Review: I can't help but laughing every time I look at the cover and see his picture standing as if he is really serious and knows what he's talking about! The fact of the matter is that Al Franken is a comedian and the only way that he can try to convince anyone of anything is by making fun of other people. He is a joke, his book is a joke and those who buy the book for anything other than entertainment or a review are a joke!

Summary: Funny Boy Franken
Review: I can't help but notice the great success this book has had.
Amazon #1. (Numero Uno) Not second place, but top of the pile. What can you do with that kind of rating but wonder if in fact the US population has been craving such material. well researched with sometimes oddly connected dots, makes for a quick read and a hard and funny analysis of what a portion of the US main stream reportedly calls fair and balanced (syn: truth; honest abe; but, o'really!)

Summary: Sharp, informative and "laugh-out-loud" funny.
Review: I can't remember the last time I laughed out loud so many times while reading a book. Writer/actor/political junkie Al Franken targets the conservative voices of today and blows them out of the water with his sharp criticisms and wry sense of humor. Though Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter seem to be his favorite targets, Al spreads his critique up and down the conservative food chain. (He even smacks Rush Limbaugh around for old times sake.) The left will enjoy this very personal, very humorous critical assessment of the hysterical right. The right, well, they'll just visit Amazon[.com] long enough to write a scathing review while claiming to have read the book. Get ready for the fun to begin. (Okay, now I'm ready for my "34 out of 278 people found the following review helpful:")

Summary: This one of the funniest book I've ever read
Review: I can't say enough good things about this book. I found myself laughing out loud many times. I read it in just a few days; I couldn't put it down. Al Franken is just hilarious. His interactions with conservative political figures are so funny. His conversations with Barbara Bush, his challenging Rich Lowry to a fistfight, his exchange with Mr. O'Reilly were so funny I nearly peed in my pants. Woven into all of humor is a fair criticism of how conservative politics is so unapologetically full of BS. It is nice to see somebody pointing how frequently and how badly conservative talking heads just make stuff up that fits their point of view. I'm no fan Bush, so I was happy to devour every page of this book. I recommend this book to anybody; I hope everybody in America buys a copy of this book

Summary: The reader reviews - predictable!
Review: I can't stop laughing about the reader reviews for this book - they're so predictable! With a very few exceptions by thoughtful readers, the reviews are all either one star (indignant conservatives with no sense of humor) or five stars (gleeful liberals hugging themselves with joy). As such, the star rating system for these 1200+ reviews is meaningless. However, the number of responses alone is enough to tell you that it's worth reading, if only to see what all the fuss and feathers is about.

Summary: Amusing and Revealing Satire
Review: I cannot improve on many of the reviews below, so I shall not try to do so. I would like to highlight one reason to read this book and suggest one reason for concern about the book. The most compelling reason to read this book is to see how easily some of the misleading statements might have been corrected by the authors skewered by Mr. Franken. Perhaps the most revealing part of this book is that so many statements in the books of others are flat-out untruths. [Whether they are lies is another issue!] The authors, their editors, and their adoring fans appear utterly impervious to the principle that oen should only contribute reliable information to the public debate. What may be worse, many of our fellow citizens seem indifferent to the specious or false information that some of the targets loose on the world. Mr. Franken's volume, read in concert with similar works by Joe Conason and David Corn, suggests that some misrepresentation or mendacity is not even considered an ethical lapse any more. Has our culture gotten so used to self-evident falsehoods that we do not even worry about spreading misinformation if it suits our purposes to do so? The only concern that I raise is that Mr. Franken's satiric use of irony and other rhetorical devices provides him an escape route that he would not permit and has not permitted Ms. Coulter, Mr. O'Reilly, or President Bush. Mr. Franken gets to say "Just joshing" or "Can't you take a joke?" when he veers over the line. That gives him an easy out that he denies to others. I hope that fair readers will consider this difference between the satirist and his sanctimonious targets. Both the reason to read the book and the caveat about Mr. Franken's humor may tell readers much more about the sorry state of public discourse than they care to acknowledge!
