For the first time since his bestselling RUSH LIMBAUGH IS A BIG FAT IDIOT, Franken trains his subversive wit directly on the contemporary political scene. Now, the "master of political humor" (Washington Post) destroys the myth of liberal bias in the media and exposes how the Right shamelessly tries to deceive the rest of us. No one is spared as Al uses the Right's own words against them: not Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, Roger Ailes, the entire Fox network nor the Bush administration. This is the book Al Franken fans have been waiting for (and his foes have been dreading).

"Funny, Funny, Funny, Funny.... I laughed out loud so much while reading this book and that was at a time when it was hard to laugh at the political climate in this country..... remember those days when so many people were afraid to say anything critical of the ruling party/president? Well, Al Franken did and what a breath of fresh air that was......."

" Perhaps one of the best uses of footnotes ever. "
— Laura, 2/18/2014" Another brilliant, well researched book my favorite satirist. This is all politics though and really upset me. Bush and the Republicans are evil! "
— Cindy, 2/13/2014" He's funny, but the content was sadly dated and not nearly as relevant anymore. "
— Rmtobin, 2/11/2014" What can I say, I love Al! "
— Kinsley, 2/3/2014" one of the few books where I'd say the audio was superior to the print. In the audio they actually have clips from the speeches Franken is critiquing, and if they don't have the clip, he does an impression which of course is often funnier. "
— Carin, 1/19/2014" Love Al. "
— Colleen, 1/18/2014" this book is just too darn funny, but it is not for everyone. Smart, witty political satire. and it is funnier now that Franken's running for senate in Minnesota! "
— Patricia, 1/16/2014" Al Franken is absolutely hilarious. He does a terrific job of exposing the unsavory aspects of our politicians and is never afraid to back down from a challenge. He's a brilliant comedian and writer. I wish I had the IFC so I could watch his radio show. "
— Sherry, 1/12/2014" Always a funny read! "
— Gregory, 1/8/2014" Take with a grain of salt and have a good laugh. "
— Summer, 1/8/2014" So funny! My husband thought I was insane with all the laughing! "
