Unabridged Audiobook
Thank goodness it was as funny as it was or I would have driven off a cliff. This book is unbelievably troubling but in a way that every American should be troubled. (Did that make sense? Point is: everyone should read this book, and his other ones too -- all worthwhile.) Reading this book motivated me to become involved and make my country a better place in a way that startled me. I highly recommend!
This was a great audiobook! Both funny and extremely disturbing, anyone who interested in politics in America is sure to enjoy this book. Al Franken's passionate opinions are backed by countless facts that could make even an ardent Christian conservative think twice about the true agenda of the party that he supports.
OK, I am a middle-slightly-to-the-right Republican. But I do have an open mind and I have found Al funny in the past. His self-help book was very funny indeed. But in this book, Al's attempts at humor swirl around the lamest of political arguments. If you already agree with him, you might find the book funny (though I even doubt that). If you are inclined not to agree with him, you will be in disbelief at his arguments. I found the whole enterprise awkward. Not true, no jokes. Oh well.
I like Al Franken (less so after this book), and agree with most of his opinions, but this is sooo repetitive repetitive that I got bored and started skipping tracks, then by CD 3 I just ejected the whole thing. Plus while there may have been truth, there were precious few jokes. I recommend Jon Stewart's book "Inside America". More jokes.
If you think about it, the subject matter covered in Al Franken's newest book is no laughing matter. The average American should find no humor in the Bush Administration's not-so-funny business foisted upon our nation. Their lies, bungles, backstabbing and cheating have been the cause of immoral preemptive war, shameful torture, unprecedented deficit and other disgusting debacles. However, Mr. Franken has super-human comedic powers, and thus tells even the most dire truths with sharp-witted hilarity. Woe to those who find themselves the butt of his jokes. I laughed 'til I cried...or was I crying until I laughed my way through this audio book?
Yet another great read by Al Franken. His best, yet. Too bad more people aren't reading, who are able to affect more change.
Wow, quite possibly the best Franken has offered up yet. As usual, no one is safe from his lashings and his research staff is one of the best in the business.
Great book for anyone who wants the truth behind the 2004 election.
