Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right Hardback - 2003

by Franken, Al

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

For the first time since his own classic Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations, Al Franken trains his subversive wit directly on the contemporary political scene. Now, the "master of political humor" (Washington Times) 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 the Bush administration and their rhetorical hypocrisy. Not Ann Coulter and her specious screeds. Not the new generation of talk-radio hosts, and not Bill O'Reilly, Roger Ailes, and the entire Fox network. This is the book Al Franken fans have been waiting for (and his foes have been dreading). Timely, provocative, unfailingly honest, and always funny, Lies is sure to become the most talked about book of political humor in 2003 and beyond.


Summary

Al Franken, one of America's savviest satirists has been studying the rhetoric of the Right. He has listened to their cries of 'slander', 'bias' and even 'treason'. He has examined the Bush administration's policies of squandering our surplus, ravaging the environment, and alienating the rest of the world. He's even watched Fox News. A lot. And in this fair and balanced report, Al bravely exposes them all for what they are: liars. Lying, lying, liars.

First line

Asking whether there is a liberal or conservative bias to the mainstream media is a little like asking whether al Qaeda uses too much oil in their hummus.

Media reviews

Funny, angry, and intelligent. (New York Times Book Review)[Franken] picks the scabs off every logistical inconsistency, factual error, or act of malice he can find in contemporary conservatism . . . A very funny book. (USA Today)Wickedly funny. (Newsweek)Knowledgeable and funny . . . [A] tough-minded look at politicians and the press. (San Francisco Examiner)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. (Minneapolis Star Tribune)
