Summary: We All Have Our Limitations - Over The Top
Review: I though Al was a great writer and I - especially liked the Nixon and Kissinger thing on SNL. So I bought the book.The title of the book was funny, but the book inside the covers was so so. Over the top, sound likes a guy yelling. I paid my money and took my chance. Would I buy it again after having read it or buy his new book?? No but it is better than one star...so I give it two.

Summary: factual, entertaining
Review: This is Franken's first political book. It is funny and easy to read. Actually, I liked it a little better than Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them. You can find out some things about Rush Limbaugh you may not be aware of. Rush once had to file for unemployment. The book isn't just about Limbaugh though. Franken makes a fool out of many conservatives. If you have the least bit of affection for Rush you probably will be so offended by some of the jokes that you will shut your brain off and not be able to see the points Franken makes. Don't believe the bad reviews because most of them are from Rush Limbaugh fans who have not read the book. I am highly sceptical of the reviewer from the United States who claims to agree with Franken and then tells people that Franken's book is terrible and you should not read it.

Summary: I agree with Al, and I STILL thought the book was bad!!!
Review: Dear Al Franken, Please stop writing books. You're terrible at it. I agree with all your philosophical presuppositions, but the book is truly a chore to read, and not at all funny. Go back to SNL (if they'd take you), make a movie, get a talk show, SOMETHING... but please stop writing books. You're not good enough; you're not smart enough; and goshdarnit, if you continue this behavior NO ONE will like you.

Summary: This is not Literature!
Review: Al Franken is nothing more than a Hate monger who spews venomous filth under the veil of "satire". His book is nothing more than hate and rhetoric which has no place even in Amazon.com! I dont know who should be more ashamed Amazon.com, Al Franken, or those foolish enough to buy this garbage which is supposed to be a book! Of course it is not likely that anyone who would read this "book" has any shame! Al Franken has no ideas or provides any reasonable to solutions to problems, but rather just takes up people calling other people names. It is poeple like Al Franken that tarnishes the good reputation of this Great Country. DO NOT READ THIS BOOK! We cannot let this hate filled trash continue to fill our streets!

Summary: try reading it
Review: This is one of the funniest books I ever read. There are too many people reviewing this book who have not read it. Rush is not a good man and he doesn't deserve to be worshipped. What is it about him that causes such admiration? He sits and talks for a living, and what he says often isn't even true. Limbaugh wrote that there are more American Indians now than before white people came. He doesn't do exceptionally well in his personal life either. He was divorced twice. He is a hypocrite. He once had to file for unemployment. Later he compared the poor to the biggest piglets at the mother pig and her nipples. He does make fun of other peoples looks. On the Letterman show he compared Hillary Clinton's face to a Pontiac Hood Ornament. He is simply getting back what he dishes out. This book points out the hypocrisy of Rush and other conservatives. Franken points out the fact the Republicans do not have better military records than Democrats. The Republican party is full of chicken hawks. These people are pro-war but avoided serving themselves.

Summary: Re: Limbaugh Deserves Better
Review: I have not read this book, and so cannot rate it. But the program requires me to assign it a number of stars to post a message, so I have chosen a neutral three. I do not intend it as an assessment. I was intrigued by the assertion that the widely reported story of Limbaugh and the Chelsea/White House dog gag did not happen. Following is a lengthier portion of the transcript from the show in question, through the end of that segment. (I just retrieved it from Nexis, by searching on the phrase "We are now the sole voice of sanity;" anyone with access to Nexis can do the same.) The way I read this, Limbaugh is saying it's the third time he's made the joke on the show. I've been unable to find transcripts to the previous two. LIMBAUGH: Thank you. This show's era of dominant influence is just beginning. We are now the sole voice of sanity, the sole voice of reason. We are the sole voice of opposition on all television. This is the only place you can tune to to get the truth of the opposition of the one-party dictatorial government that now will soon run America. Oh, I mean, we are only beginning to enjoy dominance and prosperity. Most of these things on the in-out list are not even funny, but a couple of them--one of them in particular is. David Hinckley of--of the New York Daily News wrote this, and what he has--he's got--it's very strange. He says, In: A cute kid in the White House. Out: Cute dog in the White House.' Could--could we see the cute kid? Let's take a look at--see who is the cute kid in the White House. (A picture is shown of Millie the dog) LIMBAUGH: (Voiceover) No, no, no. That's not the kid. (Picture shown of Chelsea Clinton) LIMBAUGH: (Voiceover) That's--that's the kid. We're trying to... (Applause) LIMBAUGH: No, just kidding. I'm just getting. Oh. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. That was a terrible thing. That--that was an absolutely terrible--I am--I am sorry. You know, I just--the end of the week, the pressure's on--actually the pressure's off, and I relaxed a little bit too much. You know, when my radio show started in August of 1988, a presidential campaign then, and Amy Carter was protesting everything American while at Brown University. And I didn't, of course, like that. I didn't like her protesting everything American, and I made a remark on my show that I've now since apologized for and I've taken it back; I didn't mean it. I said, You know, she may be the most unattractive presidential daughter in the history of the country.' (Laughter) LIMBAUGH: Well, there was outrage. No, there was. I mean, there was just plenty--my--my mom called me at home that night. She said, Son, you know, you--if you're going to be serious about this, you can't make fun of the way people look. You're not supposed to--you're not--you can talk about how you disagree with Amy Carter. You can talk about how you disagree with her politics and you think she's doing some bad things, but she can't help the way she looks, and you can't--you shouldn't make fun of that. And, besides, you forgot Margaret Truman.' (Laughter) LIMBAUGH: But I--I apologize... (Applause) LIMBAUGH: There I go. My friends, I apologize again. I--that's the third time the crew makes a mistake by showing you Millie the dog when I intended to show you Chelsea Clinton, and then I followed with that terrible story. I'm--I hope you'll forgive me. I'm fatigued. I'm tired. I really don't--in fact, you know what I'll do? Let's pretend this is a daytime talk show and that I'm a guest on, say, Sally, Phil or whatever. How can I make amends to you for what I just did? I can spank myself. People who spank themselves, next RUSH. Watch this. (Rush stands) I'll do it with my left hand. I--I'm right-handed, so it won't hurt as much. Do it with my left hand. (Rush spanks himself, screaming and crying; written on screen, Ouch!!!') LIMBAUGH: There. (Applause) LIMBAUGH: We'll be back with the rest of our show in a moment. (Imitates Ross Perot's laugh) (Applause and cheers) (Theme music) (Announcements)

Summary: Don't believe the fake transcript
Review: Someone manufactured a transcript of what Rush supposedly said about Chelsea, claiming to have gotten it from Lexis-Nexis, and it's been circulating the web since early October.
