Title: Well done, but flawed.
Review: This book is considerably more scrupulously fact-checked than several on the opposite side of the aisle, most specifically those by Hannity and Coulter (Good lord! Isn't there some sort of legal penalty for unleashing that much untruth on such uncritical minds as her fold?). My problem wasn't with the factual (which I checked on Nexis/Lexis; pretty much every quote was verbatim and the facts check out).While I realize Al Franken's job is to entertain, I wasn't fond of some of the tone of voice. I think Joe Conason's book was a bit...well...classier. Yes, he's a comedian. Still, the opposition is so meanspirited and ugly that I find I'm particularly critical of that type of tone of voice.That said, I do not give four stars lightly. The Wellstone chapter alone was heartbreaking. Al, look me up and we can go flog some of the deserving.
