Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right

There are quite a few reviews on this book as of now - interestingly most of them are either five stars or a single with few in between.

Being a supporter of neither political reigns out there, this book was certainly entertaining to me...well, atleast a major portion of it. (I am not sure what 14 Harvard interns did on this book though.)

If you do not like listening to Plato or Bryson or 104.1 on your commute, and are looking for something much more funnier (sic!) than Ellen, listen to this book.

If you detest liberals, stay glued to the "Spin Factor", or agree with the tax cuts (duh!), stay away from this book...but then again, you shouldn't even be reading this review. :)

i purchased this audio book for 3 dollars under a special promotion,and would love to have it back.Under the guise of comedy,al franken uses this book to whine,whine,snivel,snivel,then whine some more.not only do i not find any of it amusing,i found it quite sad that this is considered one of the best arguements from the left.I am an independant,and voted for al gore,but after 9-11,was glad he wasnt our president.I support our troops overseas,pres.bush,and the u.s.a. god bless america

Al Franken puts out there. I loved this book

It's like 9 hours and 51 min in the dentist's chair. This root canal failed in all respects except discomfort. The patient needs a good filling of solid gold Conservatism. Forget the archaic poultice of liberalism. Get in step with the modern way. Liberalism has failed but Doctor Rush has a pill for you. The cure is Conservatism not conservation. 3 of 3 Government branches agree - take two liberals in the evening and bash their heads together. You'll feel better in the morning.

It's always really pathetic to see how popular name-calling can be. Don't have a point? Use sarcasm. Can't make a cogent argument? Call names. Some people will eat it up. And make you a best-seller...

While "Lies and the lying liars who tell them" stays true to its title by being full of lies and written by a liar, it is a dreadful book not worth anyone's time.

Readers who are likely to blindly believe any liberal rhetoric will love it. I advise those you who can think for themselves to steer clear!

At the zenith of Al Frankin's appeal he was a mediocre comedian. Currently he is taking a stab at political left-wing activism as well as the current administration, and failing miserably at both. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the third strike so he'll be out of there. This was a perfect example of why celebrities should leave politics to the politicians instead of humiliating themselves.

I read this book years ago and had forgotten how much I loved it. It was even better listening to him narrate it-I laughed out loud more than a few times while driving and listening to it. I have always been a HUGE fan and he makes being a liberal democrat in a RED state just a little bit more bearable. I doubt that any conservatives would enjoy it however.

I've listened to this twice. It's so good. I'll listen to it again. He's ruthless with those horrible right winger liars. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

Listened to this on an extended car ride with adult kids- enjoyed the commentary not always balanced but usually funny. We did have to stop it many times to have the discussions that it provoked.
