by Al Franken

Al Franken is 'the perfect guy to write a book attacking America's nasty, mean, vicious right-wing pols, pundits and preachers,' wrote The Washington Post in its review of Lies. 'But his book barely scratches the surface of the Bush administration's well-documented mendacity... Looks like Franken will have plenty of material for a sequel.'

The Republicans won the White House and Congress in November. In Fall 2005, Al Franken strikes back. His new book picks up where Lies and The Al Franken Show leave off. Armed with an arsenal of facts and research (and comedy!), Al is ready to take the fight to the Bush administration and their right-wing cronies. Intelligent, insightful, inspiring, and laugh-out-loud funny, Al's hard-hitting work of political satire is poised to become the most talked about book of the year.

Praise for Lies
'Brilliant... A serious and riotous retort ... searingly funny.'
Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

'Franken has something that his targets conspicuously lack a sense of humor. This book is laugh-out-loud funny.'
The Washington Post

'Lies gets big laughs... Amusing, true and cleverly put... Mr. Franken's best work.'
The Dallas Morning News

'Lies rings with the moral clarity of an angel's trumpet... sharp analysis and humor.'
Associated Press

From the publisher

Al Franken s landmark bestseller, Lies (And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them): A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right, was praised as a bitterly funny assault (zThe New York Times) that rang with the moral clarity of an angel s trumpet (The Associated Press). Now, this master of political humor strikes again with a powerful and provocative message for all of us.

In these pages, Al reveals the alarming story of how:

Bush (barely) beat Kerry with his campaign of fear, smear, and queers, and then claimed a nonexistent mandate.

Casino Jack Abramoff, the Republicans nearest and dearest friend, made millions of dollars off of the unspeakable misery of the poor and the powerless. And, also, Native Americans.

The administration successfully implemented its strategy to destroy America s credibility and goodwill around the world.

Complete with new material for this paperback edition, The Truth (with jokes) is more than just entertaining, intelligent, and insightful. It is at once prescient in its analysis of right-wing mendacity and incompetence, and inspiring in its vision of a better tomorrow for all Americans (except Jack Abramoff)."

First line

It was a cool, misty day in Boston, Massachusetts, and TeamRadioFranken was riding high.
