Defending a trademark is hardly the same as trying to stop him from publishing ANY book. This free speech defense is crap.
If I wrote a book called "Live from New York, It's Saturday Night and Al Franken still sucks" I suspect that NBC would want me to change the title as well.

Good point. Franken's book jacket also has photos of TV's, tuned to Fox News and showing Bill O'Reilly among others. It does seem O'Reilly would have a case against his literal image being used to promote Franken's book?!

thats a great idea. Maybe the guy who wrote Al Franken is a buck-toothed moron could use that title for his follow-up.

You need to change the part after 'and' to: 'Al Franken is a steaming turd.'
