Summary: Worthless garbage from a "real" idiot
Review: Good God, what does a SNL flunky who knows nothing about politics (or how to keep a job for that matter) get off in analyzing the right (or left for that matter). Another case where a washed up semi-celeb is trying to cash in in an area where he/she has no business being.

Summary: Franken forges that Wolfowitz said WMD were only"convenient"
Review: Good golly. Guess the laudable David Kay's only interim report will already confirm documentary evidence--along with testimony from Iraqi scientists--that Iraq was developing WMDs, as Kay continues to establish the proof positive.This has been ANOTHER episode of Franken being unmasked, in his 'Lying Lies, terrifyingly told by Filthy, Friggin Franken'!!

Summary: Fantastic Book!!
Review: Good work, you little gremlin. Nothing but a pathetic screed from a pathetic man. You little troll, you attack anyone with a different opinion than his tired little sad rants like this book.

Summary: Written by an expert...................liar
Review: Got midway into the 3rd chapter, couldn't stomach any more. This guy presents his unsupported opinion as though it were incontrovertible fact, and he's not even funny. The first two chapters shows his obsession with Ann Coulter. Ann Coulter - "The sun appears yellow at noon on a cloudless day."
Al Franken - "Ann Coulter is a liar. The sun is really purple. She just used a lot of references to make it look like she did research. Anyone can make up those things. I did it better than she did. The right-wing conspiracy is lying about the sun being yellow. They want to deny poor people a chance at seeing the sun. We need to tax rich people so that all children can learn that the sun is purple. Rich people is anyone that isn't liberal. Ann Coulter is rich. We should pass a law to make her apologize for being rich."
Ann Coulter - "Furthermore, you could get a sun-burn by staying out in the noontime sun too long without sunscreen."
Al Franken - "That's right-wing lies. At least one liberal professor said otherwise. Ann Coulter is obviously racist, along with Rush Limbaugh, because they don't want poor people to get a tan. Those lying liars won't re-elect Bill Clinton, and that proves that they hate children." I never knew until now that I could write a book just like Al Franken's.

Summary: Popping myths, getting laughs
Review: Granted Mr. Franken's targets are easy pickings. Anyone who's watched, read or listened to O'Reilly, Coulter and Hannity will enjoy the all-American thrill of seeing pompous bullys knocked down to size. Through anecdote, research and analysis, Franken examines the seven pillars of truth in conservative and right-wing circles. (Eight of the pillars are "it's Clinton's fault".) He doesn't focus on the broader issues of ideology and institutional bias that Jonathan Alterman discusses. There are several very funny gages, jokes and passages. But overall, the tone is analytical rather than amusing. I recommend this for any reader with an interest in politics and public policy who is willing to spend some time re-examining "conventional wisdom".

Summary: Bill O'Lielly, You Have Been Put on Notice
Review: Great book which exposes Faux (FOX) News for what it is - a right-wing propoganda machine designed to serve & stimulate Rupert Murdoch's many other ventures. Also does a great job of "dressing down" Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly. The best part of the book is that Al Franken employs a mysterious (to the Right, at least) technique I like to call "Facts and Figures" to prove that these "journalists" and politicians are feeding us big, fat lies on a daily basis.
Rating:
Summary: Insightful, honest, and funny.
Review: Great book with lots of laughs. Al Franken does a great job at skewering the right's chief media voices and keeping their feet to the fire. One of the few writers that can talk about politics and actually be funny. Does quite a number on Bill O'Lie-lly and all the usual suspects. Worthwhile reading if you are on the left and want a laugh as well as know what is going on with the other side; or if you are on the right and want to check the intelligent people they have as well as the blow-hards that do nothing but spin but claim otherwise. Neither camp is right and both have their questionable characters. Hope you read it.

Summary: I couldn't put it down!
Review: Great book! I consider myself politicaly neutral, so I really enjoyed the comedy of this book. I also found Al and "Team Franken" to be extremely diligent in reasearching the TRUTH! I recommend this book to everyone. I'd rather have the truth with some comedy than the "Spin" from the Bullying "Bill O'Lilley" as Al calls him. Read the book! Have some fun! Don't listen to the negitive reviews that want to keep the TRUTH from you. Read it yourself and draw your own conclusions. If you don't like Bush you will have some good laughs too. Read it. Laugh. And Al if you read this, Great Work! Keep it comming!
