About this title

Review:

Praise for Al Franken "Funny, angry, and intelligent."

"[Franken] picks the scabs off every logistical inconsistency, factual error, or act of mailce he can find in contemporary conservatism... A very funny book."

"Knowledgeable and funny... [A] tough-minded look at politicians and the press."

"A laugh-out-loud funny book... [Franken] fights fire with facts... his points are swiftly and deftly made, and his sense of humor about the current carnival of political grotesques is badly needed."

Al Franken, "one of our savviest satirists"* takes on the issues, the politicians, and the pundits in one of the most anticipated books of the year.

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

This book is laugh-out-loud funny. ("The Washington Post") Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right rings with the moral clarity of an angel's trumpet... Although Franken is a self-proclaimed liberal, his work differs in that it presents well-substantiated arguments and damning examples of false accusations that conservatives have effectively used against Democrats... sharp analysis and humor. ("Associated Press") A typically unabashed blend of razor-witted denunciation and old-fashioned gumshoe detective work directed at right-wing crazies both in and out of government... [An] exquisitely irritating new book. ("The Independent", London) [A] heady mixture of scathing humor and righteous indignation. ("The Onion")
