Al Franken counters the slanders, libel, and plain ol' accusations leveled against the democrats and the liberals alike during the term of office of George W. Bush. Neither the original accusations nor the rebuttals are tactfully phrased; this is a no holds barred free for all, but I'm inclined to think that Al Franken has the right of it.
There is a lot of data presented; readers must verify for themselves whether the data is relevant and correct. I read the book because Al Franken is one of the funniest guys alive, and it is hilarious to watch him put down the right-wing pundits, who can get incredibly obnoxious. (At least one of these right-wing personalities seems to be emerging as merely a comedian, and undeserving of A.F.'s ire, namely Steven Colbert. Maybe I misread the relevant passages.)
For the record, Al Franken is running for senator from Minnesota, and I desperately hope he wins.
Cheers, Archimedes
