LOOPY LOSERS AND THE LOSERS WHO BUY THEIR BOOKS

Al Franken is a dopey looking guy who can be pretty funny. Well, I've heard he can be funny, I can't say I've ever seen him. He also is a bleeding-heart liberal who just can't stand the thought of George W. Bush taking another breath. His new conservative bashing book with the third grade name, Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right is your basic "I hate Republicans because they're mean" rag.

Funny thing, though; The Smoking Gun has a letter Mr. Franken wrote to Attorney General John Ashcroft apologizing for lying to him. It seems Al sent a request to AG Ashcroft trying to get him to tell stories of dealing with abstinence, all in an effort to embarass him in this two-bit rag. And he did it on Harvard letterhead, too. So, who are "lying liars", again? Could it be the party that brought us BJ "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" Clinton? No, couldn't be.
