Marcus, 38, said Franken is the first author he has read cover to cover in years. “His politics and mine are almost identical,” Marcus said. “I love his intelligence, his wit to the point of making me almost cry.”

Someone run this through the lisp machine.

Frank, funny, liberal

Well, one out of three isn't bad. In fact, it's terrible.

I expect more Conservatives will listen than Liberals. However, will they be allowed to speak on the air before being shouted down and muted away?

first author he has read in years, huh? Why does that not surprise me?

No reason to read... it's all on his television. Letterman, Leno, SNL... where else do you get news? /sarcasm

"This book was so good... it was worth the time to sound out the big words!"

[N. Theknow]

the left’s answer to such right-wing pundits as Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham.

If Franken is the answer, the liberals obviously don't understand the question.

I loved the way how Rush ignored Franken's book about him. Didn't give it one lick of attention.

Oh, I will. Betcha anything their initial audience is going to be mostly curious conservatives.

If nothing else, I can soak up their bandwidth and learn who their advertisers are, so I can write nastygrams to them :)

Proof that Dr. Seuss is really dead.

[tractorman]

Good point. If only conservatives call I expect Franken will melt down within a week.
