Franken uses the cheap tactics of the far right against the far right, but with humor. There are hilarious bits here, humor on most every page, delightful low blows. "Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot" (never get tired of saying that) is his second. ![]() One of his more memorable characters is the 12-step addict, Stuart Smalley, whose catch-phrase, "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me," became the title of Franken's first book.

It's not just a funny line there's an "emperor has no clothes" quality to it, and I'm glad somebody finally said it. Because if you're like me, you laugh out loud every time you hear it.

"Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations" by Al Franken Delacorte, $21.95. ![]()
