Review: Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations
Title: Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations
Author: Al Franken
Genre: Political humor
Grade: B

Summary: This is a seriously dated bit of social satire. Franken pokes fun at the Republican party and the key figures of same that were around in the 1990's.

The Good: I never know quite what to say about the nonfiction I read. I enjoyed this a lot, and there were some laugh out loud moments. If I'd been politically savvy at the age of fourteen, I might have enjoyed this more when it came out.

The Bad: I don't quite know if Franken's style of humor works for me. Sometimes I think he is a bit too egotistical, which I don't really care for. I'd probably read another of his books, but maybe it's just that political satire isn't really my thing.
