Summary: UNFAIR andUNBALANCED
Review: This man doesn't know HOW to engage in CIVIL debate. His nastiness detracts from what little humor he tries to inject. One would think a supposedly intelligent educated man would be able to speak using words with more than 4 letters, without insult, and certainly without physical confrontation...but apparently would be mistaken. I recommend the book Red White and Liberal.

Summary: Stupid and uninformed
Review: This man is so left of center that reading anything by him
is a journey into total fiction. As fiction, it is funny
and easy to read. He is a comedy writer and will always
be that.

Summary: Right on, Al!!
Review: This man needs a daily television show. At last, a funny, honest look at the Right.

Summary: Reading the other side...
Review: This material can be dry if written by most political authors. Franken makes it humorous and enjoyable; along with extremely enlightening. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Must reading
Review: This may be a little partisan (OK, really partisan), but it's also very well researched and fascinating. Dump W in '04!
Rating:
Summary: A book of facts
Review: This points out and cites cases where Coulter, O'Riley and company have blatantly lied and misconstrued data to prove points. Coulter even cites book reviews as New Your Times Editorials!I can not believe how many people claim to hate this book after not reading it. One such disgruntled reviewer claims that political books should only be written my college graduates, and not Franken. This only proves Franken's point because Franken is a graduate of Harvard.

Summary: This is my 2nd Review on this book!
Review: This review is aimed at certain other reviewers, who are claiming that Franken lied in his book. These people are GRASPING AT STRAWS PEOPLE!! In the chapter Abstinence Heroes, Franken displays a letter he sent to different abstinence education advocates, in which he says that he is writing a book called Savin' it and wanted each person to write back and give a story in which they were tempted to have sex but because of their beliefs said no. Bare in mind that he sent this letter to people such as Newt Gingrich, and Pat Robertson, and then signed the letter with HIS OWN NAME (showing that he wasn't hiding anything).
Anyone who read this letter would have seen it for what it was: A JOKE. OF course, being Franken, it also had some merit. For all the people who stand so strongly against sexual education in school, not one of the 27 people he sent the letter to had an experience where they turned down the opportunity of sex because of their morals (at least not one they shared).
What irritates me is that certain conservative reviewers are bitter about Franken's success, his book, and the lies he exposes within it. Therefore, these individuals take something like this letter, which is obviously a farce (a very funny one at that) and tries to say that Franken was lieing. Seriously, he said he had a chapter within the book called "Role Modelin it." That's hillarious!!! And no one can say that when Ashcroft and Lott and every other person who received the letter looked down and saw it was signed by Al Franken that they didn't get the joke. Even if they missed every other obvious clue and jest then in the end when they saw it signed by Franken they would KNOW!!!! Finally, I'd like to end with a quote by our lovable genuis. "If you think you've found something that rings untrue, you've probably just missed a hilarious joke, and should blame yourself rather than me or Teamfranken." (XIV) GET IT NOW?

Summary: another book
Review: This reviewer reviewed his previous book "Oh, the Things I Know." What was said there, still holds..Why is it so popular? Amusement is a big part of it. People want the relaxation of amusement in a world which goes from tension to tension.
Rating:
Summary: Get some new material
Review: This should be listed as fiction.
How funny that in a book about liars Al Franken himself tells so many lies. I'm glad that I borrowed this book and didn't spend money on it.
Oh, and get over the O'Reilly thing! Bill O'Reilly once misspoke on the name of an award that "Inside Edition" had won and, although O'Reilly has corrected the mistake numerous times, Franken keeps using that example as "proof" that O'Reilly is a liar-never acknowledging that he corrected himself.
Franken is, in fact, so desperate to attract attention that he has not only named his radio show to mimic "The O'Reilly Factor"
but he has recently gone on "The Howard Stern Show" which I was a fan of for years until Stern became a pathetic old man who no longer thinks for himself.
Anyways, I'm sure that this review won't be helpful to most of
the sad people who are blindly believing Al Franken's lies.
He almost makes me ashamed to be a democrat.

Summary: Brilliant
Review: This thoroughly researched, sharply funny and insightful gem is well worth the cover price. It's Al Franken at his best, providing a critical, intelligent, and humorous look at the way conservatives and this administration continually flood the American public with sweeping generalizations, ad-hominem attacks,half-truths, and complete untruths about, well, just about everything! I laughed out loud...when I wasn't crying for America.
