Title: Franken did his homework.
Review: Franken hilariously cuts down pompous blowhards of the far right in the opening chapters of this book. What makes it screamingly funny in places is the way he ingeniously uses their own words to skewer them. (I'd be embarrassed to show my face in public if I were a certain Mr. O'Lie-ly . . . and I'm not referring to splotches, either.) Don't get the impression that the book is all humor, however. There are some gripping and saddening chapters which left me depressed and enraged. What one comes away with in the end however, is a remarkable analysis of how the game of political and media manipulation is being carried out in this country by those who seek to hide facts and distort truth. This book rings true in all its facts. What it makes most clear of all is Franken's passion about this country and its true ideals. An entertaining and eye-opening must read for anyone truly concerned for the future of the country and our "phantoms" of freedom.
