Summary: Un-American Rhetoric
Review: This book rates no stars. It is nothing more than extreme left-wing rhetoric that is attempting to destroy our country. Franken is of the ilk of Michael Moore, Jesse Jackson and Alec Baldwin. They are all examples of lying left-wing fanatics who have sold their souls for the almighty buck. Franken is a hired gun of the fanatical left-wing and a loser of the highest magnitude. Do not buy this disgusting, Un-American piece of dishonest propaganda.

Summary: There's lies, damn lies and then there's Al Franken
Review: This book reminds me of the Rambo movies, entertaining but based on ignorance and a mean spirited premise. Buy this one for your favorite non-thinking liberal friend. I guess what hit me most about this book was that the slurs and venom, while wrapped in humor, were not to inform. This this lowering the bar on political dialogue. If you must read this, wait for a copy to be open at the library. Don't put money in the pocket of hate mongers whether they be on the left or right.

Summary: Witty and absolutely FACTUAL
Review: This book right on time. We all know (except blind "always right" conservatives) book like "Treason" are full of lies, distortion of facts, whinning, name calling. Nobody, execept the always-right conservatives likes O'Reilly's shouting - cutting off whenever someone disagrees with him. After war is over we all know about Weapon of Mass Deception. Al Franken makes his point in as-usual witty and absolutely no-nonsese manner. And not to mention the content are factual - to the point. One should read Ann Coulter's Treason and this book together and understand what is factual and what is popaganda.In this book Coulter's 'endnote/footnote' is great. O'Reilly's 'Peabody/Polk' is funny. There are more funny stuffs.....

Summary: Mandatory reading.
Review: This book should be read by everyone who loves the U.S. The laughs are constant--on average, I laughed out loud at something on nearly every page. But the real purpose of the book is to instruct. I suppose I knew a lot of the information in the book already, but Franken delivers the goods with pertinent, often fascinating background info that makes these anecdotes all the more powerful. The other, unstated, purpose of the book, and one I truly hope succeeds, is to inspire readers to do what it takes to repair the grievous state of our Union.

Summary: Serious thought and a serious laugh
Review: This book shows the lying and cynical manipulation of a people shocked into docile compliance by the recent tragedies in a hilarious, articulate and searing bright light. The result is both serious thought and a serious laugh. In the 5th grade, the best way to deal with a bully was to get the class laughing at them. This rule still holds with the 5th grade-style bullying of the political Right to which the stunned and glassy-eyed public has shamefully bowed. As such, this unlikely and funny book laughs the bullies down and aids in the rebirth of a lively national dialog. It is this type of right thinking and humor (think Paine's "Common Sense") that inspired the creation of our nation and has corrected its course through history.

Summary: Stop being brainwashed by people
Review: This book shows you that believing everything that you see or read, without questioning it or investigating it makes you part of the problem. Most news and talk shows are boiled down snip-its which result in a pied-piper mentality. Let's blindly follow and repeat the sensationalism and not care about the true facts. Hell, the truth is boring. You are a sheep if you continue to have your views crafted by the news services. STOP, THINK for yourselves, and craft your own ideas and thoughts. This book is very good.

Summary: A joke of a book from the joker himself
Review: This book smacks of your tiresome left wing talking points. It stays at #1 or #2 flip flopping with Michael Moore's angry anti-american book, because the DNC along with other left wing groups buy these up in bulk. I'm from Minnesota and we know Al here. We're glad he calls New York home now!b

Summary: The truth hurts so the right sues
Review: This book so scares the GOP that their friends at Rupert Murdock's News Corp sued to get it out of publication. In a rare court event, the suit was literally laughed out of court. Unlike the various right wing 'authors', this book provides foot notes and quotes in context complete with the dates comments were given and who gave them. Tongue in cheek parts are clearly labeled as such. Conservative mouth pieces who are faced with their own statements are reduced to calling Franken a commie and traitor. This standard attempt to paint him as such merely proves that they cannot dispute the facts presented. Given the Bush A\administration's recent pitiful attempt to back peddle from their Saddam 9/11 linkage I suggest all those holier than thou conservative read this before they burn it.

Summary: LIBERALS EVERYWHERE TAKE HEART
Review: This book takes on all of the lunatics of the far right and gives them the kick in the butt they deserve. Al doesn't mince words and he doesn't play favorites. All those idealogues in the republican cuckoos nest get a well deserved thrashing. How does he do it? With the TRUTH. Only a true patriot would dare to tell it like it is in this climate of conservative paranoia. Consider this a "fair and balanced" review.
