really liked it

Al Franken is better known for his books "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot," and "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them," but this book is by far funnier than either of those. Unlike his other books, this is fiction.

Al decides to run for president, and his platform solely consists of making ATM fees illegal. He's a bumbling idiot, as are his campaigner staffers which includes his brother Otto (aka Dotto Dranken and Blotto Branken), and Dan Haggerty (of Grizzly Adams fame). He also promises and all-Jewish cabinet, with the assumption that Americans want a cabinet the president is comfortable with, not one that is representative of America. This book goes up to the first 100 days of the Franken presidency, which is, at best, disastrous.

I think this book is hysterical. I had several laugh out loud moments. Sometimes Al Franken gets a little too preachy for my tastes, and in this book he is at his "former SNL-writer" best!
