Summary: Excellent and Hilarious
Review: This book is terrific -- and scary. It reveals how low the conservative right-wing will go (and how intellectually dishonest they are). It also has a shocking account of how the Bush administration ignored repeated warnings from the outgoing administration about terrorism. Another excellent section points out how Ann Coulter's books are filled with false and misleading information. All of these serious issues are, as you would expect from Al Franken, presented in an extremely entertaining way. I laughed out loud many times. This is a very enjoyable book and I highly recommend it.

Summary: Good Book for Political Science Class
Review: This book is the turning point for US's political growth and development in the 21st century. It will be examined and analyzed by collegiate intellectuals. It is a brilliant expose of a terrible trend to which our wonderful nation had succumbed. Thank you, Mr. Franken, for your insightful and informative book, and thanks for the humour! Without it, it would be difficult for the layman. ...

Summary: The Truth Hurts
Review: This book is truly an eye-opener. It's something that everyone should read, regardless of their political views. Lying is something that nobody in the public eye should get away with and it's about time that someone exposed the worst of the worst. It's actually scary at times because you realize that a lot of people listen to the chronic liars in this book and truly believe that they are hearing the truth. More people should step forward like this and expose the dishonest and inappropriate behavior of people in the media and in politics. A must read.

Summary: Funny Stories and Comedians Who Tell Them
Review: This book is very funny, because Al Franken has a sense of humor and facility of expression. Truly, this is one of the funniest books I have read in a long time. I have always been a conservative and still remain one to this day. No, I'm not. Yes, I am. I am not lying. Much of what is said in this book should be taken tongue-in-cheek. And I do not see all the stories Mr. Franken presents in exactly the same light as he does, though I enjoyed reading his version of them. For example, his defense of Al Gore's statement that he took the initiative in creating the Internet is unsustainable. I wrote a book about the rise of the Internet and, considered literally, Mr. Franken's defense of Al Gore does not quite stand up to objective analysis. However, he makes a good point about Al Gore's exaggerations being blown out of proportion by the supposedly liberal media, when more serious exaggerations by right-wing politicians are often left unexamined. I also do not believe that ad hominem attacks is a way to counteract ad hominem attacks, because if one accepts this strategy, one becomes no better than the person who initiates name-calling. This is why I think that, while Mr. Al Franken had come up with a humorous title for a book on Rush Limbaugh (he defends the title in this book; that's why I am bringing this up in this review), his own ad hominem, however humorously intended, is not more elevated than Limbaugh's ad hominem, even if Mr. Limbaugh did use an ad hominem "first" against some callers and politicians he did not like. Then there is also an issue of politics not being about power, but about improving people's lives. C'mon. Is this seriously intended? To be honest, I do not know, since Al has a tendency to kid around so much. But I think he really did mean this. Of course, politics is all about power. However, I admire Mr. Franken's outgoing personality and his ability to connect with celebrities and mere mortals alike. The stories about O'Reilly's saga of Peabody vs. Polk, Hannity and Colmes, and a visit to Bob Jones University are hilarious. They alone are worth the price of the book. In the end, why do I recommend that you buy this book? Because it is good enough, it is smart enough, and doggone it, I like it!
