Being a reformed rightwinger, I decided to read some material put out by the other side. I thought Al Franken would be a good start since the Republicans put up such a fight to try to keep from from his senate seat in Minnesota that he rightfully won. What did he know that they didn't like? I think this book provides some answers on that, even though this was written a full three years before he ran for election. Intelligently written with lists of sources to back up his claim, this book is a good read to learn the stories behind the stories. While I now think that both sides use the same tactics, at least I can see them both.
Very insightful look at how politics works.

All joking aside -- and the book is entertaining -- this is the most complete, most well documented and most easily understandable chronicle of the Republican Party's actions, motives and propaganda methods out there. From the time of George W. Bush's election right up to the publication date, each of their significant actions is discussed, and the relevant quotes are presented along with the facts that show how deceitful Republicans are. There are many books out there that deal with this issue or that issue. This is the book that shows the whole picture.
Liked him before reading this.very impressed with his insights, candor and irrepressible humor. A must read in these times.

Briefly, if you're thinking about seeing Man of the Year, I suggest instead to read this book. This is the man you're looking for. If you don't read, very soon a movie called God Spoke will be coming out all about The Truth and Al Franken. This time Al is very pointed and factual. You'll be amazed what some people get away with. Sadly I consider that these books, which ever the political lean are going to be read by the choir. If you're not an Al Franken fan, I still suggest this book.
