Publisher Description
Fed up with the Republican Right? Then you'll love Al Franken's scathingly hilarious look at America's largest talk show host and his conservative cronies. Hear this Emmy-winning
Saturday Night Live writer's thoughts on exploding Medicare costs ("Why not shoot the elderly into space?"), feminism ("Limbaugh was railing about how feminists believe that all heterosexual sex is rape. The thing is, though, I know a lot of women, almost all of whom consider themselves feminists, and I know of only one who holds this belief. And we've been married nearly twenty years"), and Rush Limbaugh's fact-checker, the man with "the easiest job in America." Funny yet uncompromisingly fair, Franken tackles the issues - and the politicians - in ways few have dared.
Customer Reviews
Awful is a kind word for this!
The few reviews on this book have obviously been written by Al himself. This book is disjointed and all to unfunny. I'm an independent, if not liberal leaning, person. I hoped that the humor would ooze off he page like an SNL skit, but to be honest it just came off as a 12 year old boy trying to say "ye well you smell funny and are dumb and I'm smart" while putting his finger in his ears an humming.
If you want good book, don't buy this one. Buy this if you need some paper too start a quality camp fire.
Very Funny, Worth the Read and Re-Read (or "listen" as the case may be)
I bought this as a book on cassette tape when it first came out. Now that I am throwing all my books on cassette away this was one that I decided to come back and buy a digital copy of. It's a great read and I've probably listened to it a half dozen times. It does have political comedy in it, but it also has other comedy in it which makes it great.
On of my first books
My mother (who is currently a Sarah Palin fan) got me this book when I was in middle school. It was one of the first I ever read. And to this day, when I read it I still crack up. The "Chicken Hawk Chapter" it golden.
