Al Franken has an easy to read style that leaves you wanting more. I find myself reading his books over & over, trying to soak up all the little facts and quotes. He backs up his opinions with facts and softens the digs on his adversaries with dry, sarcastic humor. This particular book is full of information that has been largely overlooked by the mainstream media. Perhaps the most telling thing about the ideas & conclusions he comes to is that the facts he uses are never denied by the other side. Pundits like Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity, to name only two, may attempt to assail Franken's character, question his patriotism, and cast doubts upon his motives, but never disprove or even deny any of the facts presented, nor can they poke holes in any of the common sense conclusions that Franken arrives at. Where I come from, that means he is right and they are wrong, period, and that means I feel confident in learning a few things from Al Franken, as well as making his jokes even funnier.Read full review
This book is absolutly amazing. I waiting in line for this book the night it came out I was so excited for it! It doesn't dissapointed. The book points out all the errors and misgiving of the conservative right and backs up the talk with FACT which have been checked by many many people and have been found correct! Amazing in this era or lies in the media. Not only is this book about facts and proving the right, wrong. It is also hugely funny and extremely entertaining! A good read for anyone of moderate to democratic views. Those of the right wing philosophy, should be open minded when reading! A+
Al Franken is a genius, an astute political observer who digs into the top layers and finds the truth underneath. The people of his state should be happy to have him represent them.
The book was typical Franken. He dealt with tough issues with not only humor but facts to back himself up. Great read and listen.
