This book actually HELPS liberals!
We constantly hear from conservatives, especially Rush Limbaugh, how liberals are "touchy", and overly "sensitive" to critisism. Limbaugh makes it a habit to point out that liberals can't handle opposing view points. Well, here we have Mr. J.P. Mauro, a conservative who apparently was so rattled and upset over a COMEDIAN'S book on the conservative icon Limbaugh, that he exposes the conservative side of "touchiness" by writing this weak, poorly thought out knockoff of Franken's humorous and interesting book. Obviously, conservatives consider any sort of investigation or analysis of Limbaugh to be "off limits" (how American!), and Mauro displays his lack of wit and integrity throughout this book. It's a perfect example of the conservative mindset of attack and discredit the messanger, even if the messanger has a valid point. So overall, this book actually helps the left by exposing the "overly sensitive" and desperately touchy attitude of the right.

Not Funny
A surprisingly ineffective and unfunny attack on Franken. It's pretty clear that the author is unclear on the concept, sure, some of Al Franken's skits weren't that funny, but that isn't the way to attack a comedian, especially one with such a sharp satirical bent. The truth is, Mauro is just a humorless right wing sorehead, and that's the way he comes off. The cover is a good indicator of what is to come, Franken's cover is funny as it is a play on Limbaugh's, with goofy old Al aping Rush attempting to appear thoughtful, Mauro just takes Al's cover and tries to make him look buck toothed. Funny? No. Original? No. Pointless? Yep. The best comment ion the book, and the most revealing, is where Mauro admits republics don't care if their leaders are politically corrupt (i.e. taking brides) as long as they don't have sex scandals. That about says it all. The book is self parodying. A real dog.

If the liberal reviewers here don't like it...

...I might just purchase it!

(Before Obama deems it and other Conservative books "hate writing" and bans them...)

further proof the right is wrong
Mercifully I've never come across this bit of printed pulp in any store, but the cover says all you need to know.If you're going to attack someone as bucktoothed, at least the target ought to be bucktoothed.I know my expectations are high but come on now.If the whole premise of your title isn't even accurate, what's left to stand on?For the right it's usually name calling and that's there too.

Hilarious!
I loved the cartoons and illustrations in this book. I especially liked the piece where he studies how Saturday Night Live's entertainment value was conversely effected by the involvement of Franken in the show. The guy is the kiss of death to any form of entertainment he touches. Why the only way HE could get his own radio show is if someone bought him a radio station...

Oh yeah. I forgot about Air America.

Trash talk with no support
The conclusions the author draws are ludicrous in most cases.I make a point to listen to both sides, right and left and this guy did a poor job of representing the right.

If there needs to be a book with this title, the author completely missed or overlooked those who are actually screwing up America.

I listened to the unabridged audio version of this book and found that it was a waste of time.After all, everyone has an opinion, what is so special about Bernard's if he doesn't support his reasoning.

Stevens, R.t. Rybak. Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Keith Maurice Ellison (né le 4 août 1963) est le premier américain musulman élu au Congrès des États-Unis en remportant le cinquième district du Minnesota pour la Chambre des Représentants en novembre 2006 pour le compte du parti démocrate. Il a fait parler de lui après avoir prêté serment à la Constitution des États-Unis sur le Coran. Traditionnellement, les élus prêtent serment en tenant la main sur la Bible. Ce serment sur le Coran a fait dire à la droite religieuse et conservatrice qu'il s'agit d'un « blasphème à la Constitution ». Il appartient à un courant de pensée appelé « black muslim » (musulman noir) apparu dans les années 1930 au sein de la communauté afro-américaine, avec l'organisation Nation of Islam, organisation prônant un nationalisme noir radical, ainsi qu'une forme très hétérodoxe d'islam. Keith Ellison appartient à la branche sunnite des musulmans noirs américains, apparue après 1975 et aujourd'hui majoritaire, qui a rejoint l'islam sunnite orthodoxe et a très fortement modéré son nationalisme ethnique. Il a cependant déclaré en 2006 qu'il avait lié des relation avec le groupe radical Nation of Islam, mais a « affirmé que sa participation à Nation of Islam avait été limitée à une période de dix-huit mois autour de la période de la Million Man March en 1995, qu'il avait été peu familier avec les vues anti-sémites de Nation of Islam pendant sa participation au groupe, et qu'il n'avait jamais exprimé lui-même de telles opinions ».
