Summary: An interesting blend of humor and disturbing facts
Review: An entertaining yet serious look at the truthfulness of some high profile talking heads and politicians. Franken does well in giving persuasive examples - with supporting facts - of how truth has been manipulated. The title of the book matches the content very well. The chapters about Bill O'Reilly and Ann Coulter are especially entertaining and shocking at the same time. I think it is a good read for anyone who has an interest in US politics.

Summary: Franken rocks!
Review: An exellent review of the complete lack of integrity of the Republican right which enabled them to steal the 2002 election and control of the Senate.

Summary: Amazing
Review: An humorously smart and amazingly honest look at the new main-stream media in the U.S. today. Franken sticks up for the large number of us who can't stand the Coulter's and O'Reilly's of today, but are not sure why. After catching them (and many others) in pretty glaring whoppers, he goes on to add his quick wit and commentary that will make you laugh out loud. I could not put this book down from the moment I read the introduction. Of course, coming from the left, it's own inherent bias arises from time to time. However, I find it very difficult to refute most of the points he makes. This one's a page turner.

Summary: Funny...even if you're a republican!
Review: An intelligent book! Very well researched. Some of the 'lies' exposed are slightly stretched. Overall, a great read.

Summary: Not too often political books can be this much fun
Review: And if you notice the critics harp on nonsense like the Abstinance letter to Ashcroft, which was hilarious and an obvious prank. Anyone holding on that as a lie is either desperate or lacks a sense of humor. How great was the dissection of Coulter and Hannity? How can anyone deny that they were caught lying pretty bad? I think anyone except on the extreme right can enjoy this book.

Summary: The TRUTH will set us free...
Review: And the dishonesty of the repugs will chain us to a life that sounds more like Russia than here...more spending on military than anything, lies to justify wars, the KGB doctrine (I mean the patriot act), and unquestioned nationalism by the media.
Bush and his party are ruining America, and Al Franken calls them on it.

Summary: This one is a waste.
Review: And the number one liar is...Al Franken!

Summary: The Truth Hurts
Review: And the sheep that follow the right wing-led "president" don't like it very much. Read this to learn how, with evidence, idealogues like Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly distort and manipulate facts to make their otherwise unbackables points. Then try and find the same evidence of twisting in Al's book. It ain't in there. And that's the point.

Summary: Truth Hurts
Review: And to think I was leaning in George W's direction. Well researched (unlike O'rilley or most right leaning tomes),hilarious and on the mark. No wonder there are so many angry reviews, Franken pulls back the curtian on the liars.

Summary: A Good Book For The Critically Thinking Challenged...
Review: And very funny to boot. Al Franken gives a hilarious account of all the bold face and blatant lies the far-right has been screaming at us through the "liberal" media. A good read, especially for those who can't critically think themselves out of a paper bag.
