Summary: Funny set of observations and anecdotes
Review: In the tradition of Sat. Night Live the humor here is edgy and will seem in poor taste to some (not me!). Shooting holes in Limbaugh's arguments is NOT the main point of the book - probably because it is too easy - Limbaugh is so obviously a hypocritical idiot that it is not worth cutting down some trees to point that out. It is largely a funny and interesting random set of political humor, arguments, and anecdotes of famous politicos with R.L. figuring in only about 1/2 of them at most. The paperabck has some fun material written after the book was a huge success.

Summary: Sick and Twisted
Review: If you enjoy giving your money to someone as sick and twisted as Al Franken, buy this book. If you think drug addiction if funny, buy this book. If you think seeing a cop "push someones head down into the car" is funny, buy this book NOW! You won't regret it.

Summary: A new edition!
Review: I heard an unconfirmed rumor that Al Franken is going to release a new, retitled edition of this book soon. The new title will be, "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Junkie". Although I have to say that it would be more fair and balanced if Rush were to change his name to Smack Limbaugh.

Summary: Al Franken is VERY NEARLY CLEVER
Review: One thing this read has going for it is that if you're comfortable with the meandering buffoonery of Franken, you'll be overjoyed to see that nothing much has changed for him in, oh, about 25 years......if you're new to Franken then be prepared for mindless twittering from a broken down has been who has had neither an original thought nor a sound premise in over two decades... depends on how you see him....but this book doesn't claim to be totally factual, relevant, or even humorous...instead it is, quite frankly, a self admitted slap at a guy who has so far eclipsed Franken in every media driven way that one cannot help but feel sorry for him. The book is utterly without any redeeming value whatsoever and should be read only by those with the most basic sense of humor. If you want to see the train wreck Al Franken has become then buy this book by all means. Otherwise... ...to sum it up, this is the political equivalent of one long fart joke..and fart jokes are funny...once. Beyond that they're just old and stale.

Summary: I didn't buy this book...
Review: because I felt that the title was overly combative. However, my girlfriend did buy it, and lent it to me. Had she not strongly recommended it, I woudln't have bothered. Don't misunderstand: I am a liberal, but calling someone a "big fat idiot" isn't my idea of a class act. All of this became moot, however, once I'd read the book: it is one of the funniest, most well-researched, and nevertheless biting books I've ever read. Al Franken is a genius. He's unapologetically biased, but he -- almost with glee -- proves his point again and again with objective data. Showing that Rush, for all intents and purposes, used figures to lie ("liars, damn liars, and statisticians..."), that the RNC (?) contrasted economic figures with non-normalized dollars... all of this sounds incredibly boring, but is laugh-out-loud fun when presented by Mr. Franken. Even if you love Rush Limbaugh, it's something to read; if you hate him, this will be all the more insightful. Oh -- and the title is a bit of a misnomer; the book deals with Rush a great deal, but he is by no means the sole target of Mr. Franken's razor-sharp pen: Newt Gingrich, and many others of the "republican revolution" get to share the blame. And, to show that I'm not a Franken lakey, I found that the books between RLIABFI and _Liars..._ were tepid, at best. Good stuff. Buy it.

Summary: Franken achieves his aim
Review: The brilliance of this book is that it simultaneously debunks many of Limbaugh's oft-repeated lies while humorously throwing his immature, schoolyard style back in his face. It's lovely to see the dittoheads crawling out of the woodwork to give this book knee-jerk, one-star reviews (without ever having read it, of course) in a pathetic act of "sabotage." What could be funnier and more ironic than this bunch of people, who spend half their day listening to hateful, name-calling conservative radio hosts and the other half thinking of nasty nicknames for liberals, calling the kettle black! And now that Rush has been exposed as a major consumer of the illegal drug market, they're at it again, expressing mock outrage that anyone would take any pleasure in his fall from grace. Excuse me folks, but aren't you the same people whose favorite hobby is unmercifully and disgracefully ridiculing Bill Clinton and taking unlimited perverse pleasure in his downfall? More power to Al Franken for exposing Limbaugh for the lying hypocrite he is and to the one-star reviewers who expose themselves for the hypocrites they are. Read Franken's new book too, unless you have to look up "irony" in the dictionary to understand what it means.

Summary: funny and accurate
Review: Even though this book was published in the 90's the material is still relevant today. He doesn't just call Limbaugh names. He tells about some of Limbaugh's lies. This book names many of the chicken hawk republicans and their excuses for avoiding Vietnam. It is very common among republicans to be pro other people fighting in wars but to avoid it themselves.
