Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them,
by Al Franken. Pengiun, €10.99
Franken must be the Christian Right's most hated American, with his comic evisceration of Fox News, the Murdoch media, and hard Right commentators. He doesn't just write that they lie, he backs his claim up with the assistance of young super-bright academics. His trip to Bob Jones University is a gem. Irish readers, however, may at times tire of his rows with (to us) un-known pundits, but it's all so smart. An upmarket Michael Moore!.
