Al Franken is PJ O'Rourke for the left, so I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
P.J. O'Rourke is actually funny so I don't know what you're talking about.
Al Franken wrote for Saturday Night Live back when it was actually good, so I don't know what YOU'RE talking about.
It wasn't that good.
And it CLEARLY had to be a team effort, because he hasn't written a funny thing since.
I read Rush Limbaugh Is A Big Fat Idiot at the bookstore this afternoon. It was basically what I expected: condemning ad hominem attacks to Democrats as tasteless and unfair, then making ad hominem attacks at Rush because "it's just satire, come on."
By the way, what would happen if someone wrote a book called Jesse Jackson Is A Big Black Idiot? See also: Michael Moore, Stupid White Men and a book called Stupid Black Women.
