Book Description:
Al Franken, "one of our savviest satirists" (People), takes on the issues, the politicians, and the pundits in one of the most anticipated books of the year.
For the first time since his own classic Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations, Al Franken trains his subversive wit directly on the contemporary political scene. Now, the "master of political humor" (Washington Times) destroys the myth of liberal bias in the media, and exposes how the Right shamelessly tries to deceive the rest of us.
No one is spared as Al uses the Right's own words against them. Not the Bush administration and their rhetorical hypocrisy. Not Ann Coulter and her specious screeds. Not the new generation of talk-radio hosts, and not Bill O'Reilly, Roger Ailes, and the entire Fox network. This is the book Al Franken fans have been waiting for (and his foes have been dreading). Timely, provocative, unfailingly honest, and always funny, Lies is sure to become the most talked about book of political humor in 2003 and beyond.

Al Franken has come a long way from his SNL days and he (and Team Franken) have put together a coherent, informational and sometimes amusing rebuttal to the Right.

Funny look at the Fox News Network.

Great Book. Funny, well researched and it must be true or Al Franken would have been sued by now.

I love Al Franken's books. He has a great sense of humor and this book was as good as his others. A Great read!

An excellent and well-documented book. Franken writes with detail and documents his accusations well. Good read - but nothing new for those of us who read and follow the news.

Well, I guess for a book about lying, how can you believe the author? His lies are so blatant that it makes me wonder if his editor can read!

What a funny book! My husband and I really enjoyed it, but now it's time to pass it on

What a hypocrite Al Franken is. He does all the things he knocks others for doing. And calling someone else a liar doesn't make it so. And yet he doesn't seem to think Clinton lied...

"Lies . . ." is the TRUTH! Al Franken (now the junior Senator from Minnesota) gives a funny and objective look at the neo-cons and ultra-conservatives, including Ann Coulter, Cheney, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwel, Bush, O'Reilly and Hannity. If you can, get your republican acquaintences to read it!
