{"product_id":"the-truth-with-jokes","title":"The Truth (with jokes)","description":"Al Franken’s landmark bestseller, Lies (And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them): A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right, was praised as a “bitterly funny assault” (zThe New York Times) that rang “with the moral clarity of an angel’s trumpet” (The Associated Press). Now, this master of political humor strikes again with a powerful and provocative message for all of us.\nIn these pages, Al reveals the alarming story of how:\nBush (barely) beat Kerry with his campaign of “fear, smear, and queers,” and then claimed a nonexistent mandate.\n“Casino Jack” Abramoff, the Republicans’ nearest and dearest friend, made millions of dollars off of the unspeakable misery of the poor and the powerless. And, also, Native Americans.\nThe administration successfully implemented its strategy to destroy America’s credibility and goodwill around the world.\nComplete 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).\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0525949062\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0525949062.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Franken, Al\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
