    <p>In the world according to Al Franken, Rupert Murdoch is "evil," Bill O'Reilly is "a right-wing blowhard of the schoolyard bully variety," Sean Hannity is "incredibly obnoxious," Paul Gigot defends Wall Street Journal editorials that are "mind-blowingly asinine," and mainstream media types are, well, a bunch of wimps who dance to the tune of these all-powerful conservatives. Which isn't to say he has lost his sense of humor. The former "Saturday Night Live" comic knows how to deliver a punch line along with a punch, as is evident in his new book. You may have heard about the title -- "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right" -- because of a futile Fox News lawsuit charging that Franken had no right to borrow its "fair and balanced" slogan. And the book doesn't quite meet the hallowed F&B standard. In fact, it's a bit of a screed.</p>
