Lies & the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair & Balanced Look at the Right by Al Franken
3.0
Any book that starts out with a conversation between the author and God, I'm a little skeptical of. Unless of course, that conversation is one that points out the stupidities of most of what I find wrong with our political system today.
While it took me a really long time to get through this book, it was fun and enjoyable.
The biggest thing that I will take away from this book isn't an idea that just came to me while reading it, but is one that I've noted before.
Democrats are bad at pointing out all the stupid shit (forgive the language, but it's really the only word that will do it justice) that Republicans do. This book showed example after example of Republican actions and speeches, where, had they been done/said by a Democrat, the Republicans would have been ALL OVER IT. Calling Dems _____________ (fill in derogatory word here).
Republicans are good at calling Democrats out--even when the Reps are in the wrong.
By all means, I am not saying Dems are perfect, they aren't. But, damn, do they let Reps get away with stuff.
Call this book biased, it is. Call me biased, I am. If my dad can read Rush is Right, I can read about all the time Rush has Lied.
An interesting read.
