lying liars and the lies they tell

by al franken. this was a fun, and at times maddening, book. al franken is a funny guy and he spends the majority of this book going after the right wing media like bill o'rielly and sean hannity. these guys are idiots, but that's nothing new. what was new was learning about how john mccain got push polled, details about fox trying to sue franken, and how bush, although claiming to be a man of faith, really probably isn't. another interesting question franken asks is, why is john walker lindh such a big deal when there have been far more treacherous traitors in our past - they're called confederates, and they killed more americans than lindh.
