Al Franken Is a Buck-Toothed Moron: And Other Observations

Rating:
Summary: not so good
Review: i'm someone who tends to drive straight down the middle of the road, but the origonal is much more convincing and better presented.

Rating:
Summary: Sad Effort at Comedy
Review: What a collosal waste of paper and time. This book is clear evidence that Conservatives have a marginal and shallow sense of humor. Franken's book is MUCH better.

Rating:
Summary: LOVED this book!
Review: This is a great book! Despite the title, it's not all about Al Franken (a character I was previously cognizant of only as "that jerk")but lampoons Liberals in general. A great read! If having laugh at the expense of Liberals is "hateful," then this book has enough good ol' hate for everyone in the family!

Rating:
Summary: Franken's probably laughing at this.
Review: Probably, because he dosen't even know that it exists. It should have been titled "Al Franken is a hook-nosed parasite." The Republican party is guilty of perpetrating as many contradictions as Franken's book. Only they are running this country, not Franken. We didn't need this subhuman to elaborately and systematically break down his book for us (well, maybe for some of Limbaugh's slower audience or the one's that gave the book a cursory read). Mauro's vacant humor not helping the brew one bit here. Franken's book was full of witty epigrams and some great caricature and satire. This book only serves to solidify Franken's standing with the left and media. The only literature the right put out in the last few decades that served not to put them in an unfavorable light were, in my subjective opinion, Buckly's Blackford Oakes trilogy. The Jew is laughing.

Rating:
Summary: Not a good representation of conservatism...
Review: As a conservative, I must say that this book left a bad taste in my mouth. The public's perception of the Republican Party as "mean spirited" comes from works precisely as this one, which aim to only attack, and really offer nothing substantive to say. I'm sure I'd agree with many of Mr. Mauro's ideals, but the way they're presented here really turns me off.

Rating:
Summary: Trash..................
Review: What kind of sad human being results to writing a satire of a satire? Mr. Mauro ovbiously has little creativity and a lot of time on his hands. He ovbiously must envy Al Franken quite abit, being he re-tread all his jokes.

Rating:
Summary: If this is what passes for satire, God help us!!!!!
Review: If the author's goal was to create one of the worst pieces of literature in the history of language, he most certainly succeded. This malodorous piece of garbage is without style, wit, humor, and in fact, is not even current. While the title suggests that this book might be a rejoinder to Al Franken's ad hominem attack on Rush Limbaugh, this book is no better. The author seems compelled to spew every cliche he has at the left, even the figures of long ago. This book is filled with pathetic attacks on people who are no longer part of the current political scene. Come on, Mr. Mauro( or whoever is behind the psedonym) you can do better.

Rating:
Summary: A feeble attempt at humor, even for a Republican
Review: This book confirms what I have suspected for a long time: Conservatives are without humor. Author Mauro's feeble thrusts at Al Franken, Jesse Jackson et al fall well short of the mark. The only funny thing about this book was reading about people who actually believed that the parodies of letters exchanged between Mr. Mauro and Mr. Franken's lawyer were real! Better you should spend your money on a book written by P.J. O'Rourke, who at least TRIES to be funny, than to waste a penny of your hard-earned money on this horrible tripe.

Rating:
Summary: Difficulty doing a book review knowing nothing of Mauro
Review: I found this book quite entertaining and a fitting rebuttal to the caustic, partisan comments made by Al Franken in his book "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot". Too many conservatives today seem unwilling to play hardball with the liberals and seem mucked down in their philosophies, unsure how to make their ideals come to pass...

Rating:
Summary: The title says it all.
Review: I thought this was a pretty funny book. My favorite part is the first few pages where Mr. Mauro reprints the letters that he exchanged with Mr. Franken and his lawyer. Mr. Franken apparently felt he could keep Mr. Mauro from spoofing the cover of his book, "Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot". If you look at the covers of both books, it looks like Mr. Mauro must have won the battle.
