Rating:  Summary: BOOK OF LIES! Review: Big waste of paper. Nothing in the book is based on facts. The writer mainly name calls, and whines. Grade schoolers act more responsible.
Rating:  Summary: CONGRATS AL QAEDA!!! Review: Big win in Spain!!!!! Personally, I think your methods are a little over the top, but hey- a wins a win, right!!!!Good luck in November, and whenever the British elections are!!! Kerry, Mike Moore and this dope Franken are pulling for you!!!
Rating:  Summary: Funny, Brilliant, Biting and Overdue Review: Bill O'Liely - hahah. I happen to see the dust up with Bill and Al and have waited for the book ever since. Wow did Franken make O'Reilly look like a lying idiot. The book illustrates his as well as other lies from the right. The fact is both sides lie, but for too long the right wing has been held unaccountable. Thx for Al Franken for fighting back.
Rating:  Summary: Liberals fight back Review: Bill O'Reilly comes out with a book trashing liberals. Then Ann Coulter comes out with one. David Horowitz with another. Then Sean Hannity, then Bernie Goldberg. Even distinguished journalists like Bob Woodword are going out of their way to pay lip service to President Bush, while the liberals sit back and take charges of treason, lack of patriotism, and communist conspiricies. It's about time the liberals fought back, and Franken leads the fight with "Lies" a funny and well researched book about how the right has succeeded in smearing America-Loving liberals and good decent men like Al Gore. Take for example Al Gore's supposed claim that he "invented the internet" Franken cites directly from the CNN Wolf Blitzer transcript the words that made Gore infamous and shows the reader that Al Gore indeed said no such thing and that it was completely blown out of porportion by the supposed "left wing media" Franken goes onto cite numerous examples of how conservative pundits continue to distort and smear liberals, often resorting to calling dissenters "un-patriotic" and/or "communists", talking them down on numerous right wing talk shows and reaffirming the beliefs of the millions of conservatives out there. Take for another example the Paul Wellstone memorial which was attacked by right wing pundits all across the country as a political shout down of conservatives trying to pay their respects to the late Senator. Tucker Carlson of CNN's crossfire went on the air the day after the memorial denouncing it as a political rally having not seen the event himself. Peggy Noonan showed up on "Hannity and Colmes" to claim that "20,000 booed" while actual video of the event confirms that maybe a few dozen boos were scattered throughout the auditorium. Fox news reported that former Sen. Rudy Boshwitz, then candidate Norm Coleman and former Sen. Rod Grahams were booed but the memorial tapes show that none of the above were booed at all. What was to be a touching memorial of a great man was turned into a right wing smear of the left, in typical "liberal media" fashioin. Gone was the touching words of Wellstone's sons, non-existant was the respects paid by both sides of the aisle to Wellstone. Instead all the American people heard about were the rude and spiteful liberals who, according to Peggy Noonan, jeered in the ten thousands. Franken has released his book in conjunction with new left wing literature including Joe Conason's "Big Lies" and Hillary Clinton's "Living History". Let's hope Franken's book encourages more liberals to speak up becuase lord knows we've been taking it on all fronts since Sept. 11th. It's time we fought back, and make Al Franken's book one voice in a chorus of voices fighting against the smears and distortions of the right.
Rating:  Summary: Bill O'Reilly is a C-Class commentator Review: Bill O'Reilly is increasingly funny, unstable and possibly intoxicated. O'Reilly's views lack any serious depth or insight. O'Reilly, a former telepromptee on a tabloid "news" show, is not respected by decent law-abiding journalists. He has talked publicly about murdering Al Franken. I don't understand why Al Franken would stoop so low to attack such a useless, self-important "human", but it makes for a fun, fast-paced, hilarious read.
Rating:  Summary: Splotchy Al on C-SPAN Review: Bill O'Reilly should get some vidcaps of Al Franken on C-SPAN. That dude looks horrible, and yes, he has angry red splotches all over his face (hard to see behind the Coke-bottle glasses). I can't imagine his wife Fanny wanting to make eye contact (tough to do when your husband is cross-eyed). By the way, this is satire people! Ha ha ha. Coulter is a nutcase! Ha ha ha. Franken is splotchy! Ha ha ha. Think Al Franken will get it? The irony is sweet indeed.
Rating:  Summary: There's something wrong with the right. Review: Bill, Sean, Ann: Kind of hard to argue with the facts guys. But I'm sure you'll try. You're a master, Al. Keep it up.
Rating:  Summary: Bitter Review: Bitter as a overweight divorcee compaining that her husband did her wrong. Al trys very hard to be funny and it would be funny except the people who he defends brought us 9/11. After the slaughter of thousands of Americans all humor about these people is lost on me.
Rating:  Summary: Lies and Lying Liars Who Write Them. Review: Blatant lies and revisionism at its finest. Mr. Franken puts together a mildly humorous book that is filled with factual errors, venomous hate, and the largest distortion of the truth that I have seen since Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi credited Bill Clinton as "creating" the military that was so successful in Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom. Don't waste your money on this book, if you hate America and Americans as much as Mr. Franken does just send your money directly to Al-Qaeda to support their operations against us.
Rating:  Summary: Don't Waste Your Time Review: Boring and not funny at all. I was looking forward to this book. So much to skewer with either party, but Franken fails miserable. Still trying to find a good satirist besides PJ O'Rourke.
