This book is laugh-out-loud funny. ( The Washington Post ) Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right rings with the moral clarity of an angel’s trumpet... Although Franken is a self-proclaimed liberal, his work differs in that it presents well-substantiated arguments and damning examples of false accusations that conservatives have effectively used against Democrats... sharp analysis and humor.

"With a nod to Dr. Seuss and his popular tome for graduates of all ages, Franken offers his own advice guide, which covers pretty much anything anyone wants to understand about life...

It matches  Lies  in wit, and its subjects are tougher. The gags have bite. . . . And it is effectively leavened with bits of dialogue, many of them all too real."-- The New York Times "Subtle, laugh-or-cry-out-loud and ultimately devastating . . .  The Truth (with jokes)  is guaranteed to rile the right again with its forensic lasering of Republican skullduggery and media mendacity, laced with sharp humor. . . . [Franken] is the voice the American left has been waiting for."-- The Guardian  (London), This book is laugh-out-loud funny.

Synopsis
The #1 New York Times bestseller by Senator Al Franken, author of Giant of the Senate Al Franken, one of our "savviest satirists" ( People ), has been studying the rhetoric of the Right. He has listened to their cries of "slander," "bias," and even "treason." He has examined the GOP'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 and candidly exposes them all for what they are: liars. Lying, lying liars. Al destroys the liberal media bias myth by doing what his targets seem incapable of: getting his facts straight. Using the Right's own words against them, he takes on the pundits, the politicians, and the issues, in the most talked about book of the year. Timely, provocative, unfailingly honest, and always funny, Lies sticks it to the most right-wing administration in memory, and to the right-wing media hacks who do its bidding.

    The item that I ordered was shipped promptly and what I received was exactly as described and detailed by the seller. The packaging used for shipping the item purchased was robust and more than adequately protected the item shipped. Overall the experience with this seller was excellent.

    Book in almost perfect condition, better than described. Delivered swiftly, at reasonable cost, and very well packaged. It's a magazine that I omitted to buy 46 years ago, because at the time I was 8 years old and the book wasn't available in Britain. What an amazing service we can get these days. Thanks Ronaida's Books
