Title: Entertaining enough to recommend
Review: I am a liberal, so I certainly was entertained by _Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot_. However, I was expecting more than hit-and-miss humor from the sharp mind of Al Franken. Mainly, he rehashes arguments traditionally levelled at Limbaugh, conservatives, etc. and unfortunately offers few new observations. In this regard, _Idiot_ is best regarded as an anti-conservative compendium rather than a manifesto. I did not enjoy the cheap shots at Limbaugh's weight (remember, I'm a soft-hearted liberal), but much of the rest of the book is very humorous. Superior books in this vein are _We're Right, They're Wrong_ by James Carville and _The Way Things Aren't: Rush Limbaugh's Reign of Error_ by Steven Rendall, Jim Naureckas, and Jeff Cohen.
