Title: Al Franken Successfully combines information with Satire.
Review: Lies mixes biting satire with plenty of factual insights into the flaws of many of the popular leaders of the right. Mr. Franken is most successful with the chapters that combine this satire with insights into either the facts neglected by the Right Wing Commentators or the errors in their logic. The factual portions of the book are well documented and appear to be carefully checked --generally consistent with information from other sources and the failure of any of Mr. Franken's critics to rebut more than the most trivial issues.The one weakness of lies is the regression into somewhat juvenille humor in a couple of chapters -- particularly the "Operation ChickenHawk." This chapter creates a hypothetical wartime scenario with John Kerry and several right wingers who had never served in the military ("hawks" who were chicken).
