The Truth (with Jokes)
By Al FrankenAl FrankenÂ?s landmark bestseller, Lies (And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them): A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right, was praised as a Â?bitterly funny assaultÂ? (zThe New York Times) that rang Â?with the moral clarity of an angelÂ?s trumpetÂ? (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 Â?fear, smear, and queers,Â? and then claimed a nonexistent mandate.
Â?Casino JackÂ? Abramoff, the RepublicansÂ? 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 AmericaÂ?s credibility and goodwill around the world.
Complete with new material for this paperback edition, The Truth (with jokes) is more than just entertaining, intelligent, and insightful. It is at once prescient in its analysis of right-wing mendacity and incompetence, and inspiring in its vision of a better tomorrow for all Americans (except Jack Abramoff).
