Summary: In-depth? Perhaps, not. But certainly worth the read!
Review: Rush! Ann! Sean! Rush! Ann! Sean!Say it enough and that darn liberal media will actually have you believing they actually exist. But as Al and Team Franken point out... they can't possibly exist. At least not in a world that is dominated by that same liberal media - what with all their scrupulous fact checking and all. Come to think of it - how do Rush (the large one) and Sean (the smart one) make it onto the airwaves in a liberally-biased media? Maybe they do exist... but they're actually liberals! Oh my! Of course, it's easy to get caught up in the circular "reasoning" of the right. But don't be confused - just read Lies and it will all make sense. And if it doesn't make sense after you read Lies, what's it matter? Al was only in it for the money any way - and you'll already have bought the book. See... those sneaky liberal are always up to something. Look - if you believe that near record unemployment (at least in recent American history) is okay and that record deficits are not that bad, or that it's good that we went after Saddam, because what's a few American lives when it comes to killing a whole bunch of Arabs? then you probably won't like Lies. But, on the other hand, should you find an ounce of sympathy in your heart for other human beings and wonder why the world is like it is - read it. You'll laugh. You may cry. You'll learn. And hopefully you'll be moved to do something that's just crazy (like vote... for a different President). It's a great book and a quick read (you don't have to be overly complex to understand how these people lie - but you may need to be awake)!

Summary: Please it hurt my eyes to read it
Review: Same silly no fact propaganda we get from either party when they think they smell blood in tha water a complete waste of a few hours

Summary: Funny Satire; silly politics
Review: Satire is so funny that I love it when well done - and that is Franken's forte - but as politics it's just another silly book. Giving this political heft along with lines of serious political commentators is really unfortunate. Franken promises humor and satire rich with wit and based on the latest trends in politics -- on that promise he delivers.

Summary: Al Franken is so Not Funny.
Review: Save your money. This is one of the worst books ever to make the best seller lists. There are many people on the left who are very funny--for example, Barney Frank, George Carlin and the late Arlo Gutherie. Their humanity and self-depreciation helped make them funny. Al Franken is not funny. I'm not sure he is even the same species as people who are funny. Al Franken is the very opposite of funny. Certain kinds of cancer are funnier than Al Franken. Here's a clue, Al--Road rage and raw hatred are seldom amusing--whether from left or right. P.J. ORouke is funny. Read him and see the difference.

Summary: Anyone see Splotchy Al on C-SPAN?
Review: Seriously, Al Franken is one ugly dude. He could have used a little makeup because that was one splotchy mug. My wife and I were laughing so hard we wept, soaking in the delicious irony. We were surprised he didn't come clean with his plan to trap O'Reilly at the book convention - wouldn't want to catch Franken in a lie would we? Franken continues to claim that he is a friend of the Wellstone family. He is not and never was - he is trying to capitalize on the death of an articulate and accomplished Senator. The descendants of Paul Wellstone are embarrassed that an ugly, trite gossip would dare invoke their father's name in such a shameless and self-absorbed fashion. It is time for Wellstone's family to repudiate this repugnant, retarded chipmunk. As with his book, Franken seems to laugh the hardest at his own jokes. He brays like a donkey at what he thinks his funny, while the crowd seemed to titter in embarrassment. We can't imagine a more pathetic liberal hero than this closet teen slurper. By the way, Al Franken does not support the troops, even though he feels he has to reiterate in every public forum. He likes to play patriot, but we all know the truth. Who's the real liar?

Summary: Peabody vs Polk
Review: Several reviewers have cited O'Reilly's confusion between the Peabody and Polk awards was simply not that big of a deal. On that score, Franken does agree. Confusing the names of awards is not a big deal. However, O'Reilly went on to attack a reporter who had pointed out this discrepancy. O'Reilly went on to claim that he had never stated that "Inside Edition" had won a Peabody. He portrayed himself as a victim to journalistic attacks. This is patently false. And this is the bigger issue. Don't get distracted by the trivial confusion between Peabody and Polk (just like you shouldn't get distracted by the "16 words"). Instead, focus on the larger issue. When confronted with his error, O'Reilly simply employed the same spin he claims to detest.

Summary: Liars who write books that are "Fair and balanced"
Review: Short and to the point---venomous; unsubstantiated ; illogical; paranoid--in the clinical sense! Did I say a pack of demogogic, ideological leftist mytholgy parading itself as a serious book? It is all that you would expect from a Franken. Lineage does count.
As William F. Buckley says---liberals lie as a matter of choice.
So, it is obviously the book of choice to give your liberal friends. And Al, with Garafolo (now that she is sober, she does pay attention to politics---hey, her words, not mine) are obvious choices to be "stars" in the new liberal network---joining ABC/CBS/NBC/ and CNN

Summary: Required Reading
Review: Should be required reading for anyone who votes, especially those "patriots" who registered just to vote for Ah-nold. The only disappointment I have is that some of the humor/language will undoubtedly be used by the Repulsivans to denigrate the book as a whole and provide their sheep with excuses not to read it.
Rating:
Summary: Now I'm going to research the facts
Review: Simply enjoyable, hysterical reading. But I would be remiss to believe every word he wrote without checking the facts. I will and I hope they will prove Franken is right on and the Lying Liars are Lying Liars.
