Rating:  Summary: Anyone see Splotchy Al on C-SPAN? Review: Seriously, Al Franken is one ugly dude. He could have used a little makeup because that was one splotchy mug. My wife and I were laughing so hard we wept, soaking in the delicious irony. We were surprised he didn't come clean with his plan to trap O'Reilly at the book convention - wouldn't want to catch Franken in a lie would we?Franken continues to claim that he is a friend of the Wellstone family. He is not and never was - he is trying to capitalize on the death of an articulate and accomplished Senator. The descendants of Paul Wellstone are embarrassed that an ugly, trite gossip would dare invoke their father's name in such a shameless and self-absorbed fashion. It is time for Wellstone's family to repudiate this repugnant, retarded chipmunk. As with his book, Franken seems to laugh the hardest at his own jokes. He brays like a donkey at what he thinks his funny, while the crowd seemed to titter in embarrassment. We can't imagine a more pathetic liberal hero than this closet teen slurper. By the way, Al Franken does not support the troops, even though he feels he has to reiterate in every public forum. He likes to play patriot, but we all know the truth. Who's the real liar?
Rating:  Summary: Peabody vs Polk Review: Several reviewers have cited O'Reilly's confusion between the Peabody and Polk awards was simply not that big of a deal. On that score, Franken does agree. Confusing the names of awards is not a big deal. However, O'Reilly went on to attack a reporter who had pointed out this discrepancy. O'Reilly went on to claim that he had never stated that "Inside Edition" had won a Peabody. He portrayed himself as a victim to journalistic attacks. This is patently false. And this is the bigger issue. Don't get distracted by the trivial confusion between Peabody and Polk (just like you shouldn't get distracted by the "16 words"). Instead, focus on the larger issue. When confronted with his error, O'Reilly simply employed the same spin he claims to detest.
Rating:  Summary: Liars who write books that are "Fair and balanced" Review: Short and to the point---venomous; unsubstantiated ; illogical; paranoid--in the clinical sense! Did I say a pack of demogogic, ideological leftist mytholgy parading itself as a serious book? It is all that you would expect from a Franken. Lineage does count. As William F. Buckley says---liberals lie as a matter of choice. So, it is obviously the book of choice to give your liberal friends. And Al, with Garafolo (now that she is sober, she does pay attention to politics---hey, her words, not mine) are obvious choices to be "stars" in the new liberal network---joining ABC/CBS/NBC/ and CNN
Rating:  Summary: Required Reading Review: Should be required reading for anyone who votes, especially those "patriots" who registered just to vote for Ah-nold. The only disappointment I have is that some of the humor/language will undoubtedly be used by the Repulsivans to denigrate the book as a whole and provide their sheep with excuses not to read it.
Rating:  Summary: Now I'm going to research the facts Review: Simply enjoyable, hysterical reading. But I would be remiss to believe every word he wrote without checking the facts. I will and I hope they will prove Franken is right on and the Lying Liars are Lying Liars.
Rating:  Summary: Save your hard earned tax return Review: Simply put, this is not worth the paper it is printed on. If this is Mr Franken's idea of "Fair and Balanced" he is definately in some equilibrium trouble. Save your money...
Rating:  Summary: What a Communist pinko! Review: Since Franken likes to take personal shots at people, I'll take one on him. He looks like a monkey on crack. He has never said anything funny and he never will. He sucked on SNL and he sucks as a Political commentator. If you are a Socialist who hates the USA then read his book. Franken gives liberals a bad name, much like Ann Coulter gives conservatives a bad name. People should stay away from both. If you want to read a good book from a conservative/traditionalist, read O'Reilly's books. If you want to read a book by a liberal, read Alan Colmes new book. Both are resonable points of view. Talking about O'Reilly, Franken hates him. I believe O'Reilly may be conservative but nothing like an Ann Coulter. O'Reilly for the most part is a fair minded individual, something Franken is not.
Rating:  Summary: Great, funny and sad. Review: Since I remember Al Franken doing his crazy sketches on SNL, I was amazed at his Limbaugh book from 5 years ago. He taught me a lot about what is wrong. Fast forward to this amazingly informative book about the liars who have hijacked our country. When you read about all of the lies that have been told to the American public by not only the likes of Limbaugh, Coulter, O'Reilly and Hannity, but also the people who we need to be able to trust - the president and his people, it gets very depressing. Yes, it's depressing, but it is also veeerrryyy funny and amazingly informative. This is a truly scholarly book wrapped in an entertianing package. Highly recommended. And oh yeah, I loved it.
Rating:  Summary: One sided Review: Since unfortunately the colleges are mostly liberal (for fear of not being politically correct), our poor college kids are getting brainwashed. They need to quit reading the strange thoughts of Al Franken. I recommend no one read it.
Rating:  Summary: Lying Liars? A little redundant, and quite idiotic... Review: Since when has Al Franken been a leading political mind? And what does he know that doesn't come from the media? Let's look at the facts. It'll take more than "wit" and "humor" to convince me that Franken's "facts" are legit. I'll stick with Rush, thanks. This read doesn't even deserve one star.
