Summary: Great book.
Review: I must confess I didn't buy this book until the recent drug scandel because I wanted to see for myself the hypocracy of Rush Limbaugh.
While the book itself is not entirely about Limbaugh it does expose a lot of his dogma as well as have a great parody interview with Limbaugh's fact checker "Waylon".
He has great pieces on Newt Gangwrich, Pat Robinson, and Ronald Regan. A really funny must read for anyone wishing to know more about the "Rebublican Revolotion" and who was behind it. You will also notice a lot of similarities between the first Republican takeover of congress and the second one.

Summary: Rush is not just an Idiot, but
Review: Al Franken proved that Rush is a big fat stinking idiot, but Rush himself proved that he is the outcome of bad birth. Sorry, but true.

Summary: Finally a blow that is deserved
Review: Al Franken has proved to be not only hilarious, but also factual. Unlike Limbaugh, Franken can back up what he proves with facts and let's face it, plain common sense. The immense amount of research in this book is phenomenal, and yet the book proves to be of pure enjoyment in revealing what a close-minded bigot Rush really is.

Summary: great except for the Affirmative Action Chapter
Review: This is a wonderful book. Its not too intense and is funny almost throughout. The only problem, where Al's reasoning falls flat is on the affirmative action issue. He points to Thomas as a hippocrite for challenging affirmative action after benefiting from it when he was admitted to law school. The obvious arguement, and one that Thomas has given several times is that during the early seventies, racism and lack of diversity was much more of a problem than it is today. He and people like him argue that it was a good program but has run its course. Al is usually good about this kind of reasonable arguement and states them in his books...but not in this case.
BTW: im very pro affirmative action, but I like to understand both sides fairly.

Summary: The Liberal Loser
Review: Sorry, but this book was full of falsities in its own way. I am a democrat, but I hate to think of Al Franken as a fellow comrade in politics.

Summary: Rush is a big fat money-laundering junkie crook!
Review: We already know Rush has been addicted to "hillbilly heroin", but now we find out that he was also involved in illegal transactions to launder money for his supplier. It's incredible how far his fans will go to apply a different standard to judge their "hero". I think Rush and his supporters misinterpret the title of this book. The phrase "big fat lie" refers not to the literal weight of a lie, but to it's figurative dimensions. Similarly, a "big fat idiot" is someone whose idiocy appears unbounded. It should not be taken as a literal reference to their BMI. Whether Al Franken or Rush Limbaugh are currently at their ideal body weight is irrelevant to a critique of their opinions. In addition, a man who slandered the then 13-year old Chelsea Clinton by calling her the "White House dog" deserves every cheap shot he gets. Don't dish it out if you can't take it, Rush!

Summary: Big Fat Waste of Paper and Ink
Review: I'm no ditto-head and I've enjoyed Mr. Franken's humor on occasion but this is a sorry attempt at discrediting Rush. It's loaded with inaccuracies and lies of Mr. Franken's own. The cheap shots come across as hateful rather than funny. The arguments given to support his positions are embarrassing. I appreciate someone having a strong political position but those positions should be based on rational thinking, not demagoguery. Mr. Franken should stick to humor and leave politics to those with a little more intellect.
