Summary: Give Al a pass
Review: Sure Al Franken gave us the line refering to money(Send it to me,Al Franken)But I think this time you should keep it in your pocket. If you believe in the "right wing conspiracy" or the "Bush stole the election" nonsense, then you will love this
book. If you have a College degree, a private sector job, and a grip on reality, this book will just further your opinion of just how silly,angry,and irrational people can be if they don't get their way. I think AL may have inhailed too many fumes backstage on SNL.

Summary: Too bad many will write it off as just humor...
Review: Sure this book is laugh out loud funny, but if you look through the humor it is sad and quite frightening. The stranglehold of unreality created by conservatives that Franken exposes is all too real and all too powerful. I hope this book is a call to action among liberals who aren't ready to give in and be bullied. A must read if you can form your own thought processes and are a true patriot!

Summary: Exactly!
Review: Sure, Al Franken is a humorist and not a political scientist, but that's probably the best approach to exposing these light-weight yet powerful windbags. It's true that the collective failure of integrity of Coulter et al has contributed to an explosion of problems so disasterous for America (Uh, how many trillion did he say the deficit would be this year?) that their role verges on...ummm, dare I say it...treason (if Ann can change the definition of treason so can I). Yet their methodology is so puerile (weak logic, lies, distortions, bullying etc.) that ridicule really is the most effective response. And man does this book ridicule those pseudo-intellectual punks. Let's hope Franke's effort results in more people refusing to be hoodwinked.

Summary: The Worst Generation
Review: Take cover Republicans! It's Revenge of the Nerds, Part III. The 60's kids are all grown up now, and they're as irrelevant as ever. It's the Bush cabinet (Stanford and Yale graduates) against the Hollywood high school dropouts. Now who would you rather have running the country? As on Saturday Night Live, Al Franken is the guy who laughs at his own jokes while everyone else smirks. I guess he's a good substitute for Michael Moore, who isn't really credible since he eats more than a small African nation (Don't drive an SUV, but take your motorcycle to Taco Bell eight times a day). As noted by other reviewers here, Al Franken immediately loses credibility with his Paul Wellstone memorial comments. The event evolved into a Democratic rally with some very tasteless comments by his campaign staff. Overall, the book is a mindless diatribe, just another liberal jealous of someone else's success. Note to Top 1000 reviewers: some hints for the next review. The word misanthropic is not spelled with a dash; the word innundate is spelled "inundate"; I think you meant "apropos" instead of apprapo (that was funny); "its shoes" instead of it's shoes (possessive); and perrenial is spelled "perennial."

Summary: Not the least bit objective, why bother???

Summary: NOTHING BUT LIES AND DISTORTIONS
Review: Taking his usual rabid dog aproach, Al Frankin shows he has not a shred of wit or intelligence in him. He usues his usual distortions of the the truth in lambasting the right. Nothing but an emotional temper tantrum witout a shred of logic.
Rating:
Summary: Silent Majority
Review: Talk about a media bias--Franken's book shot to number one like a rocket and responds to the mass swelling of anger towards the repressive, greedy politics of Bush and the right, yet why weren't any of these points being discussed in the mainstream media before? Well I suppose they are beholden to their corporate sponsors, so what are you gonna do? I suggest reading this book.

Summary: Where Truth Meets Humor
Review: Talk about mood swings reading this book - outrage mixed with laughter is an odd combination. But Franken does a great job documenting the fact that propagation of "The Big Lie" still works effectively. The only thing I think he misses is that The Big Lie works not because we believe it, but because we're tired of trying to sort out fact from fiction. We surrender! Which is what makes it nice when someone helps us do the sorting (certainly the so-called liberal media never bother). I was going to give this only four stars until I noticed that the same reviewer (from CHICAGO, IL) kept posting the same one-star review over and over to get the average rating down. Do you think when someone has to resort to that he knows he's really making Franken's case? And I have yet to see a negative reviewer rebut any actual facts.
