"In the kicking, spitting spirit of all-star political discourse, Al Franken gives as good as he gets." --New York Times

"Riotious…provocative reading for everyone…Franken's sardonic critique of our culture of political disinformation is serious business." --Minneapolis Star Tribune

"The former Saturday Night Live comic knows how to deliver a punch line along with a punch." --Washington Post

"Memo to Fox: Hire Al Franken." --Business Week

In one of the most anticipated books of the year, Franken takes on Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, Dick Cheney, and George Bush. His specialty is using his targets' own words to make his comedic and political points. Finding logical inconsistencies, factual errors, and doublespeak wherever he looks, Franken dismantles the myth of the liberal bias in the media, and punctures the mean-spirited sanctimony of conservative media darlings.

Al Franken's latest run at the right is a huge hit. It didn't hurt that Fox News sued, alleging a trademark violation for the use of the phrase “fair and balanced.” Before the suit was dismissed as “wholly without merit,” it generated tons of publicity.

Beyond the hoopla, how's the book? Franken's Emmy Award-winning talent shines in the unabridged audio recording. His delivery packs a punch that is sure to raise hackles and spark hilarity inside the Beltway and from sea to shining sea.
