Rating:  Summary: A politcal junkie Review: What a great book! Al tells it like it is and even proves every fact. Every Democrat and every Independent should read this book. I don't include Republicans because they refuse to admit that Reagan left us with a1 trillion dollar plus deficit and Richard Nixon was a Republican who committed a larger treason than Clinton's lie about having an affair.
Rating:  Summary: Amazingly Funny, Well Researched, Yes Fair and Balanced Review: What a great book, I couldn't put it down. Amazingly funny, well researched and suprisingly it is fair and balanced. Al Franken brings reason and intellect to a discourse which has been clouded with anger, bullying, and force. He is sharp and quick. Read it and lend it to a friend.
Rating:  Summary: Everyone should read this book Review: What a great book. It made me laugh, cry and shake my fist at the conservative right. It exposes just some of the many lies told by the right. If the information wasn't true I'm sure he would have been sued already. Fox's lawsuit against him was laughed out of court. The section on Bill O'REilly is classic. I saw the controntation on C-Span and it was as true as Al said. Highly recommended.
Rating:  Summary: Talk about lies, Al Franken lies throughout this book Review: What a poorly written book. I must say for a man accussing everybody of lies, he should really look at his own book. Its Al Franken who lies and slanders throughout his whole book.
Rating:  Summary: Sad Review: What a sad, bitter little man crying out for attention. Interesting that someone so devoid of honesty would have the cheek to call anyone else a liar. Mr. Franken needs serious Psychiatric help.
Rating:  Summary: Funny and intlligent - regardless of your politics Review: What a treat! I don't always agree with Franken's politics, but this book is irresistible. Outstanding research, unassailable examples and humor that ranges from the subtle to the outrageous. Read it no matter what your politics are - if you approach it with even a partially open mind, you'll laugh out loud while you get a well-documented look at the one side of the "lies" in public life today.
Rating:  Summary: Ugly Review: What a waste of money. This book proves that liberals are just as ugly on the inside. If you must read it, go the the LIEbrary.
Rating:  Summary: Al could work for the NY times.. Review: What a waste of paper. Al, you stunk on SNL and you stink as a propagandist.
Rating:  Summary: I Love This Book Review: What a wonderful book by a great American. It is only too bad that Al is a comedian, because he'd make a great president. After all, it seems that the qualifications for the job aren't much anymore, so why not Al Franken. Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them gives the real lowdown on the lowest people in America, from George Bush to Ann Coulter to Bill O'Reilly, all of the lying liars are covered in this great romp. Another good thing about Al's book is that he documents what he says. You won't find documentation in O'Reilly's books or Ann's books. But then again, they probably don't really write their own books anyway. Al leaves no stone unturned as he exposes some of the biggest, most absurd people in modern history. And the great thing about his book is that it so entertaining. The problem with this book is that it will make you more angry than you already are.
Rating:  Summary: Definitely Fair & Balanced. Review: What better way to spend Labor Day than in a Barnes & Noble reading this book cover to cover. Sorry Al, I don't have 25 bucks to shell out for hardcover anything. It doesn't matter how brilliant it is. And this book IS brilliant. Franken (with the help of TeamFranken) explains his points in an informative and very amusing manner-- I laughed out loud in every chapter. It discusses serious issues without taking itself too seriously, which I enjoy. I learned a lot from this book, and wish that I didn't soak it all up in one day. Five thumbs up! Er.... five stars!
