100 People Who Are Screwing Up America (Abridged): And Al Franken is #37 Audiobook

" The catchy title caught my attention, along with a reviewer's comment: "uncommon sense about the things that have made this country great---and the culprits who are screwing it up." It is written in chapter form, some long, some very short, for each person, and clearly from a very conservative perspective. It includes people such as Al Sharpton, Barbra Steisand, Howard Dean, Dan Rather, John Edwards, Bill Moyers, John Kerry, Gloria Steinem, Ken Lay....the list goes on and on....100 names, in fact! Some interesting, some not. And not just politicians and liberal icons, but also celebrities and uber-liberal college professors. The top four on the list are: Michael Moore, Arthur Sulzberger, Ted Kennedy and Jesse Jackson....'nuf said. "

" I agreed with some of his choices and reasons though his reasoning worldview has many holes. I wouldn't read it again nor would I really recommend it. "

" This is a good book to pick up when you only have a few minutes at a time to read something. Where no one will be able to agree with all 100 of Goldberg's picks, it is comical to see why and how he chose his top 100. "

" If you enjoy Geingrich you'll enjoy Goldberg. Sorry if you find that statement offensive. The two men are very "passionate" and forceful in their opinions, and rather crude, in my opinion. "

" Good dose of what people need to hear, regardless of their political views. "

" I agreed with most of what the author said although some of the people I hadn't ever heard of. I do think its terrible the way the culture is changing. THe author talks about how a man on a crowded airplane used the f word and how people seem to think its okay. I'm not okay with it and I'm always offended when I hear it or read it. I wish there was a way to turn things around but I'm not sure there is. I not going to finish this book because its not really my style, just sort of discouraging. "

" I think this book touched on a few problems in america created by its occupents, it was a fun read. Goldbergs use of sarcasm was refreshing as most people take books like this too seriously. "

" I don't necessarily agree with every point Goldberg makes, but it was an entertaining read (die-hard liberals might want to ignore this one though!) "

" Missa, you've gotta read this, just because I want to have a discussion about how much you disagreed with everything Goldberg writes--particularly the chapter titled "Sex Warriors" about feminists. "

" Very easy read and funny is you are conservative "

" It is a funny book, but author is a victum of the same accusations he makes. Also research is incomplete and only focuses at fault of the subjects rathern than actually the "facts". "

" Great book by Goldberg...He is on the money with most on his list! A Must Read! "

" yada, yada, you can get the jist by the first 20 . . . "

" Countdown of extreme individuals on both sides. "

" Just a fun read. What the media won't tell about these 100. "

" The people he claimed to be ruining America was so funny. I cried I laughed so hard. In all honesty though, to delve into this book for a serious read would be unbearable. "

" Love anything Bernie writes, he is smart and dead on. This is a quick fun read! "

" Funny read, whether you are a republican or not. And he lists some conservatives as well. Funny stuff. "

" A conservatives view of 100 people who are screwing up America. At the end he tells readers to make their own list. I agree with most of his choices however there are some different ones I would have added. "

" Great commentary on influential people in this country. It's a great read regardless of your political affiliation. "

" I read it because Barbara Kingsolver is #73. Nothing really ground-breaking or eye-opening so much as eye-rolling, but he has an opinion and I guess these days anyone can write a book and call people names. So's your face. "

" a pretty decent read, even though it's a few years old. I really liked how he didn't go after all the obvious people. "

" Found this book at half price and decided to read it. It was actually interesting to me. I always wonder though why all of Americans can't just get along with one another and do away with the name calling on both sides. "

" Don't read this if you are in any way sensitive about your political views. I found it hilarious (and pretty true most of the time). "

" Bernie Goldberg tells it like it is. Enough said. "

" A fun book that roasts nincompoops on both sides of the political aisle (but mostly the left). The book was written in 2005 and could use an update. "

" I thought this book was amusing and informative. I agree with all 100 people, although my order may have changed a bit. "

" Interesting for awhile but the relentless focus on Liberal bashing made the guy lose some credibility with me, more balance would have been nice. I'm certain there are more than just the handful of the listed Conservatives screwing up America too. "

" Blood will shoot out of your eyes by page 72. You'll need rehab, a cupcake, and Dionne Warwick's Psychic Friends Network to find hope again for all mankind. "

" This book is an absolutly awesome book who's authour is not afriad to voice out his opnion on who are screwing up America. This list includes famous actors and actresess, presidents (fairly obvious who), singers and idols (too bad this book was published in 2005 and so is slightly outdated). "

" Yeah, it's very conservative. You know that going into it, but I do admire some of the points made. The Hollywood jokers and athletes on the list are just that...jokers. They don't need to be here because, Latrell Sprewell's actions really don't matter that much in the grand scheme if things. "
