Summary: Whining whiner and the whiner that whines.
Review: Angry.
Al is obviously angry that ordinary people are staging a mass exodus from the Clinton Kool-Aid mentality of the 90's.

There is no doubt that there is truth stretching going on on both sides of the political aisle.

In comparing Al's book to Hannity's, Al's agenda appears to be advancing his own personal agenda where Hannity seems to have more genuine concern for the direction of America as a whole.

Al's rhetoric is middle school-like at best, and while entertaining at times produces next to no substance.

Unless your political views lie to the extreme left, after reading this book you will feel personally insulted and possibly even less convinced that liberals are best suited to run this country.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Show some respect, Al!
Review: Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly liars? Not much surprise there. Not much difference between them and Rush as far as I can tell. But Dubya? Come on Al, show a little respect! Being a physics major from an accredited Christian University, I did the google searches, got the numbers and did the math. You know what? Al is correct; he is a liar. I guess Bill lied too. When it comes down to it though, I'm more concerned with a lie that will burden the next three generations of working class Americans to pay for his tax cut for the wealthy, than I am with who Bill is smoking cigars with.

Back to the Book. Some pretty funny stuff. Some of it will make you laugh but some of it will probably make you mad, so don't read it if you are looking strictly for comedy. The chapter on the draft dodging Republicans was a little over the top. Just kidding on the square Al. I think to truly make it a "fair and balanced look" he probably should have included Ted Kennedy. Oh wait a second, Ted did serve.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious
Review: Ann Coulter is Manthrax... priceless. The book wouldn't have been so funny, nor sold so many copies had not Fox launched a lawsuit against Franken. It's still a pretty good read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Back to the McCarthy era.
Review: Ann Coulter. Sean Hannity. Bill O'Reilly. Sounds like history is repeating itself. These right wing bullies have disgraced this country & all it stands for. Kudos to 'Team Franken' for this exposee.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: He tears them apart..
Review: Ann, George, Hannity, Billy boy.. oh man.. thye must really hate this book! So funny and articulate and insightful! I am from dallas and a republican and i had to give him cudos..well done..

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Conservatives, take note!
Review: Another gem from Al Franken! Possibly even better than "Rush Limbaugh Is A Big Fat Idiot"!...I can't believe that I'm the first person reviewing it.
A couple observations:
1. Unlike recent works by Conservative zealots, this book's actually funny. Likewise, it's not just diatribe, preaching to the choir (which is the ONLY possible reason for reading books by the likes of Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter et al.--right wing wackos praise what these people have to say because it's exactly what they already "knew"). No, there's actually verifiable facts here, with sources. I think anyone reading this (Conservative or Liberal) will laugh out loud throughout the entire read!

2. CONSERVATIVES TAKE NOTE: I repeat, there's verifiable facts here (which is how Conservative books should be written), exposing the liars for what they are.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Thanks Al
Review: Another Great Bush interview ...

GEORGE AND LAURA ON 9/11 -- A BARREL OF LAUGHS!

The following is an interview with the First Couple from the current issue of one of my favorite magazines, Ladies Home Journal (Oct. '03). They are asked about what September 11, 2001, was like for them personally, and, although over 3,000 people had just perished, George W. was able to find some humor by the end of that day:

Peggy Noonan (the interviewer): You were separated on September 11th. What was it like when you saw each other again? Laura Bush: Well, we just hugged. I think there was a certain amount of security in being with each other than being apart. George W. Bush: But the day ended on a relatively humorous note. The agents said, "you'll be sleeping downstairs. Washington's still a dangerous place." And I said no, I can't sleep down there, the bed didn't look comfortable. I was really tired, Laura was tired, we like our own bed. We like our own routine. You know, kind of a nester. I knew I had to deal with the issue the next day and provide strength and comfort to the country, and so I needed rest in order to be mentally prepared. So I told the agent we're going upstairs, and he reluctantly said okay. Laura wears contacts, and she was sound asleep. Barney was there. And the agent comes running up and says, "We're under attack. We need you downstairs," and so there we go. I'm in my running shorts and my T-shirt, and I'm barefooted. Got the dog in one hand, Laura had a cat, I'm holding Laura --Laura Bush: I don't have my contacts in , and I'm in my fuzzy house slippers --George W. Bush: And this guy's out of breath, and we're heading straight down to the basement because there's an incoming unidentified airplane, which is coming toward the White House. Then the guy says it's a friendly airplane. And we hustle all the way back up stairs and go to bed. Mrs. Bush: [LAUGHS] And we just lay there thinking about the way we must have looked.

Peggy Noonan (interviewer): So the day starts in tragedy and ends in Marx Brothers.

George W. Bush: THAT'S RIGHT-- WE GOT A LAUGH OUT OF IT!(end)Although America had just suffered the worst attack ever on our own soil, somehow this man was able to end his day on a funny note. I wonder how many of the 3,000 families who lost someone earlier that day had a funny ending before they went to sleep? Please read the above exchange aloud to anyone who will listen. It speaks volumes.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: How does the idiot operate a typewriter?
Review: Another hateful book about the conservative right. Franken offers nothing intellectually, but the liberals will flock to it like a goverment handout. How pathetic. Folks, don't waste yout time on this book, instead find a useful, non-union job and stop wasting precious resources.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: If you aren't already a big fan of Al Franken, steer clear
Review: Another lame attempt by Franken to proclaim himself smarter than the rest of the civilized world. For once I would love to see one of these geniuses do something worthwhile, you know, like run for office and make a difference. It is soooo easy to say what should be done, but no one ever does it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Read
Review: Another required read for all "Real" Americans! Franken and his team do a great job in uncovering some of the B.S. that has been floating around during the W presidency. He (and his team) should be thanked for the tremendous job he has done in this book by revealing the conservative wolves' in sheep's clothing such as the #itch, the liar, the druggie, crappitty, and other right wingers.
