Summary: Stunned at the breathtaking idiocy of this book.
Review: This waste of paper isn't even worth one star. I'm by no means a right-winger; in fact, rabid extremists on either side are devoid of any capacity to reason whatsoever. Anyone who would buy into this massive load of hooey is as big an imbecile as Franken.

Summary: At Last a Moses to Lead his People Home!
Review: This work is great. It's funny, easy to read, hiply literate and well-researched. For all of us who have watched the right-wing pundrity over the years get away with the most outrageous deceptions while affecting a smug, holier than thou attitude, here at last is relief. With great restraint, Franken makes fair and balanced precision attacks on the bloviators of the right. He slays the evil Ann Coulter on the merit (or, rather, lack of merit) of her work, never once referring to her drunken pub-crawling described by David Brock. He eviscerates Rush Limbaugh, as always, never even appealing to those rumors that he was once arrested for toilet-sex. He flays Bill O'Reilly without ever questioninq what he was doing hanging around in all those discotheques that he claims he frequented up till the time he married at a late age. And he reveals President Bush's meanness without ever mentioning claims that he paid for a girl-friend's abortion in his younger days. The first two-thirds of the book are hilarious. After that, it less funny but equally informative and readable. Most importantly, in addition to all the fun that it makes out of deflating right-wing gas bags, there are serious political points about issues that affect our material and spiritual well-being. No sensible person can read this book and not have a clear grasp of how destructive the Bush presidency has been.
At last liberals and progressive consumers of news have found a leader to take them out of Pharaoh's captivity and up to the Promised Land!
Rating:
Summary: More of the same.
Review: This, of course, is a satirical book, so please don't take it as fact. Franken is a well-known liberal, and there is now way this book is a "fair and blanced" look at the right. I enjoy good satire when it is based on facts. Otherwise it is just empty jokes.
Rating:
Summary: Right on Target
Review: Thorough research + pointed humor = one important book! The only downside of Franken's book is that the people who SHOULD read it probably won't.
Rating:
Summary: The cure for America's problems
Review: Those problems are people like: - Bill O'Reilly (or as Franken call him, Bill O'Lielly)
- Ann Coulter (Manthrax)
- Sean Hannity (the dumbest guy on cable TV)
- Bush Administration and the Republican Party (they could form an Army Battalion with all the draft dodgers from the Admin and GOP)
- Fox News (or is that pronounce "Faux News")
- Rush Limbaugh (if he was on TV, Hannity would be #2)
- MN GOP (bunch of opportunistic liars) Highly Recommended! Also, check out: "Big Lies" by Joe Conason
"Bushwhacked" by Molly Ivins (Sept 23rd)
"Dude, Where's My Country" by Michael Moore (Oct 7th)

Summary: Written Like a Conservative
Review: Those that find no humor in this book are right wing extremists like Limbaugh who can at best churtle. The book is funny, but rather disjointed. It is an "attack" type approach using the same type of dirty nasty techniques as the Conservatives, except it contains humor. The problem is that Franken did not have to resort to out right lies or half truths when presenting certain facts such as how the incoming admin's Conglese Rice was not interested in Sid Berger's reports about the danger of Al Qeda and what needed to be done. She and the admin wanted to concentrate on Star Wars until Sept 11. Even a review of Karl Rove's dirty campaign against McCain is included - the independent pollster's (actualy Rove's Republicans workers) telephoning people in South Carolina if they would vote for McCain if they knew he fathered a black baby (it was a kid he adopted from Banglades). Items like this are surrounded with Franken's sarcastic and biting humor, but these are facts that the conservatives are ashamed to hear. Franken lays it all out so you can expect to see some bitter comments from the humorless Right wing here.

Summary: The problem with liberals....
Review: Those who choose to anoint a third-rate comedian as their "ace spokesperson" do the liberal movement a great disservice. His facts are faulty, his humor unfunny, and his credentials non-existant. If you allow yourself to be taken in by this drivel, shame on you. In its attempt to make all conservatives look like mouth-breathing idiots, it only succeeds in making the liberal movement look like a bunch of sniveling whiners with zero credibility. They deserve better. Join your own list of lying liars, Al.

Summary: Long Live Free Speech!
Review: Three cheers for Al Franken for standing up to the anti-First Amendment hacks that is Faux News and showing them up for the right wing hacks that they are. You'll probably find more fair and balanced information on one page of this book than you will in a whole year's worth of broadcasting on Roger Ails' "news" network and its cheer leading for all things right wing Republican.
