AL FRANKEN

For the first time since his bestselling RUSH LIMBAUGH IS A BIG FAT IDIOT, Franken trains his subversive wit directly on the contemporary political scene. Now, the "master of political humor" (Washington Post) 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 Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, Roger Ailes, the entire Fox network nor the Bush administration. This is the book Al Franken fans have been waiting for (and his foes have been dreading).

¿Recorte de impuestos? ¿Es seguro que se beneficiarán los más pobres, como deja entender el presidente Bush? ¿Armas de destrucción masiva? ¿Dónde están? ¿Y el ataque a las torres gemelas? ¿Hemos sabido toda la verdad? Según Al Franken, uno de los humoristas y comentaristas políticos más osados del panorama de EE.UU., el gobierno tenía a punto un plan antiterrorista llamado 'Operación Ignorar'. Y después del 11 de septiembre, toda la culpa fue desplazada a Clinton, a los demócratas y a algunos 'malditos' progresistas que controlan los medios de comunicación y que son según la prensa conservadora y el entorno de George Bush, más peligrosos que el propio Bin Laden.

Former Saturday Night Live writer Al Franken directs his satiric skills at two large targets: the George W. Bush administration and the right-wing media embodied by Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, and others. While Franken is as outrageous here as he was in his previous RUSH LIMBAUGH IS A BIG FAT IDIOT AND OTHER OBSERVATIONS, he was taken very seriously by Fox News Channel which initiated a lawsuit just prior to publication, claiming copyright infringement because his subtitle borrows their "fair and balanced" phrase. The judge in the case declared the suit to be wholly without merit, and Fox News subsequently dropped its suit.
