Absolutely! You nailed it.
RMN: "Crafted with cutting wit, the book skewers some of the right's highest-profile voices. Fox News Channel personalities Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity fall prey to Franken's pen, along with political pundit Ann Coulter and nearly every top official in the Bush administration.
Consider the former Saturday Night Live scribe's portrait of White House adviser Karl Rove: "A man whose fleshy and formless physique belies a heart as cold and steely and deadly as a discarded refrigerator with the door still attached."
To drive the point home, Franken adds in a footnote: "In an elementary school playground during a Minnesota winter." "
Where is the substance? His "cutting wit" insults but there is not one word to back up his "ascerbic" assessment of Karl Rove's character. Erika Gonzalez chose that to make her point so she must feel that is an excellent example of Dum Dum's work. When it comes to insulting I had much wittier friends in the fifth grade. As far as I know they have long since moved on to an adult life and tell jokes to amuse rather than to cast them as baseless defamations.
