Lies (and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them)

Meet Al Franken, the man who's had Murdoch's media suing and readers in hysterics.

Famous in the US as a political satirist and sought-after speaker, Al Franken is the bestselling author of five books. He is currently a Fellow at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government where he enlisted the help of his students to research this book, affectionately known as 'Team Franken'. He lives with his family in New York City.

Al Franken, one of America's savviest satirists has been studying the rhetoric of the Right. He has listened to their cries of 'slander', 'bias' and even 'treason'. He has examined the Bush administration's policies of squandering our surplus, ravaging the environment, and alienating the rest of the world. He's even watched Fox News. A lot. And in this fair and balanced report, Al bravely exposes them all for what they are: liars. Lying, lying, liars.

But from that moment of triumph it's downhill all the way...
