That's right, Eagler. Why bother reading something before you try to form an intelligent opinion on it, when you can instead save time by making belligerent statements while remaining blissfully ignorant.

LOL indeed!

Why read something that is only going to give you one side of the argument, in a hostile fashipn, no less?

If I'm interested in expanding my mind, I'm certainly not going to try to do so by reading an overtly partisan book.

If there is anything to be learned from Al Franken, it's...well...uh..

A Satyr is a mythical 1/2 man 1/2 goat-like Greek creature.


Which sounds like the two-backed beast that would be created should Coulter and Franken 'get it on'.

I've just ordered 'Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot: And Other Observations'.

Sounds like a laugh.

I bet more Brits are interested in American politics (like Dowding) than the other way around.  Just an observation limited to this board and a Automotive board that has a politic forum.

I just like to be aware of the nutcases across the pond in case they decide to set up a franchise over here, like some moronic McDonalds.

Besides with Bush in power, satirists have never had it so good. And good satire is borderless.

Oh yeah... pride in ignorance is a wonderful quality.

in my opinion al franken can be described several different ways.  great american is not one of them.  great writer is not one either.

a decent writer of political satire?  sure.  I will give him that.  worth paying for?  no!  Not in my opinion.

Yeager.. how did you like the book really?

Here's another Coulterism....

On page 68 of "Treason" Coulter claims as one of her proofs that there is a liberal bias in the media that Newsweek Washington bureau chief Evan Thomas "is the son of Norman Thomas, a four time Socialist candidate for President"

Norman Thomas actually ran 6 times. Oh and BTW he's not Evan Thomas Jr.'s father either. (Al actually called Evan Thomas Jr to confirm this. Something Ms. Coulter deemed unnecessary)

heheee!!! Coulter would get trounced by Franken... she would be curled up in a little fetal ball whishing for Saint Reagan to save her lying soul!

The book is a work of fiction.  It is satire.  Liberals now get their factual quotes from fiction, or are you just posting us fictional quotes for our enjoyment?

Coulter's book is fiction?

Does she  know that?
