Summary: excellent to listen to
Review: Really important, poignant and funny. I've gone to see if he's telling the truth as the claims seem outrageous; and I've found everything I've looked up to be true! So it leaves me a little sad~ about the state of things. I think his tone is important to hearing it, so I'd say, buy the book ontape then take a nice long drive. :)

Summary: hilarious
Review: Really, Humor is the essence of liberal thought. Conservative thought is all reactionary, logical, survival-like--you know, the stuff that Robert S. McNamara said would have started nuclear war.Liberal thought is all about being happy. So humor. Yes, that's one of the great insights of the book, regardless of the ever-muddy facts that can be proven or disproven by anyone with the talent to do so. The book is funny. Enjoy it.

Summary: This book is funny, but it will make you angry!
Review: Recently, Dubyah make a video where he goes around the White House looking for WMD. "Under here? Nope! Over there there? Nope!" He should take a comedy lesson from Al. Over 500 US soilders and countless others have lost their lives in Iraq, and he thinks it's funny. My theory is that he thought it was funny before the war even started. He is a child, a moron who had no business running for the presidency. Hopefully, this book and others like it will encourage people to get rid of this guy,and his cronies in the media! Thanks, Al!

Summary: C'mon Neocons!!
Review: Refute Al with facts! Do it. We're all anxiously waiting your response to the facts in this book. Coulter couldn't do it, O'Reilly couldn't do it. Who's going to refute the facts in here. Let's go! (sound of tumbleweeds blowing..crickets in the distance) All you guys yell about in your horribly written responses to Al is "he's full of hate." A. he's clearly not
B. clearly you haven't read the book but prefer your info from ditto-esque sources
C. PROVE HIM WRONG!!!!

Summary: A Brilliant, Look at the Hypocrisy of Right-wing Pundits
Review: Regardless of what Fox News says. Al Franken is back in form and better than ever! Franken's Views of the crass, and belligerent journalistic Styles of the likes of Bill O'Reilly and Ann Coulter deserve high praise. But what makes the work a true gem of modern literature is Franken's humorous way of revealing the shortcomings of right-wing economic theory in simple terms (See the Chapter "Supply-Side Jesus" the Chronicle of a holy figure that won't cure Lepers because that would only encourage others to contract leprosy), while pointing out the hypocrisy of the Right-wing pundits. While Ann Coulter complains that mature political debate is lost in America, she refers to Katie Couric as "An Airhead". Franken points out that Coulter writing style suggests her belief that "The rules don't apply to her" "Lies" is a telling look at the right-wing propaganda/hype the American public has been over-exposed to since Bush took The Oval Office. The loss of absence of malice in right-wing journalism, and the underhanded political tactics used to suppress the truth, as well as smear those who disagree with the policies of the President. Lastly "Lies" discusses the actual concept lost since 2001, The fact that We are guaranteed free speech in the United States, and that disagreeing with executive policy, is they way we love America as adults - by looking at her with the eyes of reason as well as passion. It reminds us that questioning our leaders is a responsibility we all have. We are warned not to blindly follow our leaders in the name of patriotism. We must be ever vigilant and mindful of our freedoms and take care of each other as fellow Americans. Above all it reminds us that the Republican Party does not have a monopoly on Patriotism. For that reason above all, I recommend "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them"

Summary: More pablum from an amateur
Review: Regardless of your political leanings, this book is not worth your money. I was lured in because of all the press the book got from the law suit. Do not make the same mistake. Absolutely nothing of worth contained within the covers. If you are thinking of buying this book for the laughs, think again. Fox's lawsuit was silly, but they got one thing right. Franken is never, ever funny. Really, he has never, ever been funny. He's not good enough, he's not smart enough and gosh darnit, his book is awful.

Summary: Entertaining and informative, admit it!
Review: Reminder to all conservative readers. This book serves two main purposes: to entertain, and to inform. Don't confuse the two in your responses. The entertainment value is extremely high, but of course extremely biased. If you're a conservative, you're supposed to hate it. So, because he has successfully produced the response he wanted from you, you owe Al better reviews. The information however, is fact-based, and so far has not been contested. What better way to debunk Al's claims (and insults for that matter) than to contest his facts and information? It's admittedly hard to get past the insults if you're a fan of Al's victims, but for those of you who can, how about a review of the other half of the book? There are major points made on pratically every page. So are they true, or aren't they?

Summary: Franni Franken is a big fat idiot and a nutcase
Review: Repulsive isn't it? Doesn't feel so good, does it Al Franken? But congratulations on your small-minded foray into the world of personal destruction. This is what Al Franken does. He talks about people and calls them names. Ann Coulter is a "nutcase". Bill O'Reilly is "splotchy". Yes, this liberal hero makes his living attacking people. Judging by many of the reviews here, it's absolutely incredible that people would regard him as some kind of liberal hero. I can't imagine anyone wanting to be associated with this loser who coats himself in slime. Ask yourself what kind of idiot would risk dragging his family into this arena of mudslinging and ad hominem attacks? Al Franken sold his soul. What goes around comes around.
