Be Honest, it's very funny
September 14, 2003
How many reviewers actually read this book?
That's the problem with books like this biased "reviewers" will no doubt throw out "LIES" or "FRANKEN SHOULD BE IN JAIL", my personal favorite.
I read the book, in fact finished it the day it arrived and let me tell you it was very good I laughed my @$$ off. The funniest line wasn't written by Franken himself, no it was his arch nemesis Bill O'Reilly Let me quote now from his book: Those who trespass "He gently teased her by licking around her most sensitive erogenous zone."
That was so lame!
It's something my Grandpa would write, it pops up two other times in the book and hits a home run. I haven't read that book so I have no Idea if the The 'Orgasm Factor' had been reached or if the fore play was 'Fair and balanced'.
It does refute the lies given by the right. I didn't vote for Gore but I defended him on the Internet fiasco and the Love Story misunderstanding but both of these are minor things compared to lets say going AWOL from your military post or removed thousands of black voters from voter files you knew were over 90% inaccurate... but maybe that's just me?
I found that Franken's son was very typical of most teenagers, you could imagine him saying "shut up dad" and him being embarrassed by his dad's antics, namely Bob Jones university "interview" saying "They didn't do anything to you" and I think that gave us a glimpse of integrity from his son he should be proud.
The chapter I was most agreeing with was the Hannity and colmes chapter, The "Centrist" (His Label) balances out Hannity or so they say, do yourself a favor and watch one show you will hear some whacked out, completely untrue statement come out of Sean's mouth and Alan will jump to commercial, If it were me I would slap him but I don't want to further his brain damage to the point of drooling I care about others well being.
It's no wonder Republicans watch that show they get to see a SUV drivin’, Country Music luvin’ Republican walk all over a weak "Liberal". I wish he recorded Hannity saying he was upset that when he appeared on Good Morning America he was labeled a 'Conservative commentator' under his name during the broadcast, because as we all know he's really a world renowned Swedish Chef and this screw up needs to be corrected immediately, how dare they call SEAN HANNITY of all people a Conservative commentator.
I'm giving it 5 stars because it's written very well and I really enjoyed it. I understand that there is no Clinton bashing in the book but why would you think there was? Do you think In 'Treason or Let Freedom Ring' they bashed Regan or Bush for Iran-contra? Seriously it's a book about what liars the right wing are (not the ordinary people but guys like Karl Rove) it's like saying that the Communist Manifesto has a endnote that reads: "Warning: applying these methods will cause economic ruin!"
But all in all this is a very funny book about some very serious things, mainly the lack of a free press...it may be "free" but it's very lazy and worst of all it's profit driven you're beholden to the people who pay your bills or how they deify their leaders as moral pillars all of it worries me they lie and their is no repercussion.
Just be Honest, it's very funny
