Title: Humor With A Bite
Review: Why does it take a humorist to reveal truths about ourselves and society? This investigation into the perverse manner by which extremists have hijacked public discourse is a bit sad because Al Franken lampoons behaviors that clearly illuminate the destructive impulses of the so-called conservatives. Hmm...I guess my age is showing when I think of Republican conservatives as people like Rockefeller, Weichert or those in the Ripon Society.When one looks beyond the humor that Al Franken brings to the subject, what he discusses is alarming. More than that, once awakened to the mendacious (aka lying) ways of the people who seem to believe that they have the pipeline to the truth, I feel that they have stolen our democracy. After reading this book I am more aware of how Son of Bushlips distorts the truth and brandishes the flag to conceal his shortcomings and those of the conservatives who support him.Al Franken's book is a real page turner with biting humor that doesn't let up.
