Summary: A great book
Review: Not only did I find it informative, I was laughing out loud. Al Franken presents an intriguing view on the conservatives and the lies we are fed by them, and can keep it funny while he's at it. I'd recommend this for a laugh and for a good liberal read.

Summary: Very Funny
Review: Not only does Franken totally destroy Hannity, O'Reilly, Coulter and other Republican mouthpieces using plenty of documented cases of outright deceit - he has written an incredibly funny book. The story of the Chickenhawks had me in tears. I'm laughing again just thinking about it. Anyone with a sense of humor will enjoy this book. Mr. Franken, thank you for writing such an important book, America needs you.

Summary: Who's looking out for you?? Al Franken, that's who!!!!!!!!
Review: Not only is this book fact-based and well written, but on many occasions I found myself laughing so hard I started to cry. Right wing, left wing, Democrat, Republican, Green or Independent, it doesn't matter....read this book. If for no other reason than the comic relief.I was especially pleased that Mr. Franken rode Bill O'Reilly to the bitter end. For his pomposity alone (never mind his behavior on C-SPAN), O'Reilly deserves every barb Franken tossed his way. The fact that Al despises Ann Coulter does nothing but endear him to me further. Franken's fresh style, brutal honesty and whitty outlook on life make for a quick read that left me wanting more. Rush Limbaugh fans may not like it, but open-minded, free-thinking patriots who value honesty will relish this lampoon of the new century's UNfair and UNbalanced news media. Mr. Franken, bring on the sequel !!!

Summary: An intellectual look at the right
Review: Not only is this the funniest piece of political writing that I have read this year but it is also, by far, the smartest. In "Lies..." Al Franken dissects the arguments made by the right and exposes them for who they really are. He does this in the most respectful, diplomatic and intelligent way possible. Way to go, Mr. Franken! Job well done! For anybody interested in reading this book, I ask that you please do so. It is a refreshing eye-opener, a stark difference from all the mud-slinging and name--calling coming from the right.

Summary: Boss endorsed
Review: Not sure of the significance of it but, during this concert season, Bruce Springsteen, near the end of his shows, makes a short "non partisan" rant about how any American government, right, left, or sideways, must tell the truth about conflicts if they are going to put our young people at risk and in harms way. At his show Sunday night in Fenway Park he did that and mentioned, specifically, THIS BOOK. Good enough for me.

Summary: Drivel
Review: not worth the paper it was printed on. a sad commentary from a comedien who wants to be an intellectual.

Summary: Written by a "comedian"???
Review: Nothing fair and balanced here. It's a lie to say that this is anything but extreme liberal biased crap, and mean spirited to boot. Read Michael Savage's The Enemy Within if you want a glimpse into what's going on in America.
Rating:
Summary: Typical liberal bile
Review: Nothing new here. If Franken were intellectually honest he would point out the lies by both sides.
Rating: 
Summary: It's funny cuz it's true!
Review: Nothing vindicates Franken's book more than the type of comments I've seen here from the "America - love it or leave it" crowd. Would've given it 5 stars but the Operation Chickenhawk chapter was too long and not that entertaining.
