Great, absolutely fantastic. He really breaks down what folk like Coulter, Hannity, Rush and others say and fact checks everything. He doesn't do it an F you format, but with wit and sarcasm.
Just to whet your appetite: My favorite excerpt so far. Franken appears on Donahue and just picks apart Bernie Goldbergs inaccurate take on the late NBC commenator John Chancellor. In response he receives an e-mail:
"Saw you on Donahue you liberal s*&). Blow it out your ass, dick*&^(.
I've composed a stand response to e-mail like that:
Thank you for your kind e-mail regarding my appearance on Donahue. As you can imagine, I've received so many positive responses that I cannot possibly answer them all personally. But, once again, thank you for your kind remarks.
The idea is to frustrate them. It's especially gratifying when they respond to my response. Like the "blow-it-out-your ass" guy did:
Hey ass(*)&. I know you read my e-mail, because you mentioned Donahue. (*&) me.
So, I e-mailed him back again.
Thank you for your kind e-mail regarding my appearance on Donahue.
As you can imagine, I've received so many positive responses that I cannot possibly answer them all personally. But, once again, thank you for your kind remarks.
Sure enough, a few hours later, another e-mail from my new friend.
Franken your a joke!
So, I e-mailed him back.
Thank you again for your kind e-mail regarding my jokes.
As you can imagine, I've received so many positive e-mails regarding my jokes, that I cannot possibly answer them all. But, once again, thank you for your kind remarks regarding my jokes.
Unfortunately, that was the last of our little correspondence." (Franken, 35-36)
Great stuff, buy it or borrow it from your public library as I did. Definately worth your time.
