Synopsis

Stephen Colbert was The Daily Show's longest-running and most diverse correspondent. His personality, insight and general rightness led to The Colbert Report, a half-hour TV platform for his views on the issues of the day and, more importantly, why everyone else's views are just plain wrong. In I Am America (And So Can You!) Colbert bravely takes on the forces aligned to destroy America - whether they be terrorists, environmentalists, or brand breakfast cereals - and tackles difficult issues like religion, sexuality, and nature; 'I've never trusted the sea. What's it hiding under there?' With helpful illustrations and charts including 'Things That Are Trying to Turn Me Gay' and a complete transcript of Colbert's infamous speech at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Dinner, this is a hilarious read and a very clever commentary on America today.

From the Back Cover

'A great read! I laughed, I cried, I lost 15 pounds! I cannot recommend this book highly enough' - Stephen Colbert

Congratulations - just by opening the cover of this book you became 25 per cent more American - even if you're not American!

From Stephen Colbert, the host of television's favourite* punditry show, The Colbert Report, comes the book to fill the other 23½ hours of your day. Dictated directly into a microcassette recorder over a three-day weekend, this book contains Stephen's most deeply held knee-jerk beliefs on The Family, Race, Religion, Sex, Sports and many more topics, conveniently arranged in chapter form.

Always controversial and outspoken, Stephen addresses why Hollywood is destroying his great nation inch by inch, why evolution is a fraud and why the elderly should be harnessed to millstones. You may not agree with everything Stephen says, but at the very least, you'll come to understand that your differing opinion is wrong.

Stephen Colbert is America. With the help of this book, so can you!
