Title: Very Good...but not fair and balanced
Review: The book is fun. Franken is witty and intelligent, but he distorts the truth as much as Ann Coulter or Bill O'Reilly. For example, he goes on about "lies" by Coulter, and makes a point about Evan Thomas not being--as Coulter claims--the son of Socialist Norman Thomas. True enough, but Evan Thomas is the grandson of Norman. He apparently notes the distinction in the footnotes, but those of us listening to the audio book didn't get footnotes.Second, Franken is especially venomous toward Christianity. His comments about wanting to be photographed on a cross at Bob Jones University were neither funny nor tasteful.Those comments aside, this is a very interesting and-for the most part-funny book. The section about the pig geyser is not to be missed. "Fair and balanced" it isn't, but entertaining it certainly is.
