An excellent destruction of right-wing lies
After reading this book, nobody will ever be able to take Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannitty, Ann Coulter or the whole Fox "News" apparatus seriously ever again. The book's strength lies not just in Franken's razor-sharp wit, but also in the sheer thoroughness of his research, employing a team of 14 Harvard students to rigorously check his facts, and repeatedly expose the right-wing media for the liars they are.If the book has a fault, it's that Franken sometimes wears his partisanship a bit too much on his sleeve. As a card-carrying Democrat, Franken tends to be a tad sycophantic towards Clinton and Gore, and at times he appears to regard the entire Democratic Party as a canon of living saints. I'm sure the Democrats have told the occasional whopper in their time.However, when it comes to exposing right-wing distortion and hypocrisy, Franken is second to none. Essential reading for anyone interested in the abuse of power under the Bush administration.
