ABOUT THE TITLE

The truth (with jokes) is more than just entertaining intelligent & insightful. It is at one prescient in its analysis of right-wing mendacity & incompetence & inspiring in its vision of a better tomorrow for all Americans. Al Franken’s landmark bestseller Lies (And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them): A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right was praised as a “bitterly funny assault” (The New York Times) that rang “with the moral clarity of an angel’s trumpet” (The Associated Press). Now this master of political humor strikes again with a powerful and provocative message for all of us. In these pages Al reveals the alarming story of how: * Bush (barely) beat Kerry with his campaign of “fear smear and queers ” and then claimed a nonexistent mandate. * “Casino Jack”Abramoff the Republicans’ nearest and dearest friend made millions of dollars off of the unspeakable misery of the poor and the powerless. And also Native Americans. * The administration successfully implemented its strategy to destroy America’s credibility and goodwill around the world.
