Colms' book
My baby sister is starting college next year. She plans to be a political science major and get involved in politics.

She is a huge Clinton supporter (both of them) and has intelligent reasons for dispising Bush.

However, she recently read Alan Colms' book and she is raving about how good it is. She thinks this guy is a great progressive and liberal. She even wrote to him to tell him how wonderful she throught his book is.

Okay, maybe she's only 18 years old and just doesn't really know how to evaluate the messages in a book yet. Or maybe Alan Colms has discovered his soul and written a good book. I haven't read it so I can't say.

So my question to all of you is, Have you read this book? Can you give me a review of it? I would really like to hear what some adult, politically savy people have to say about this book that my sister loved so much.

Thanks.

1. Haven't read it, but I saw that it was already in the discount bin
at B&N...Apparently, not many people HAVE actually read it.

What did he think? That Fox viewers would actually buy his book?

4. Franken's book is comedy- it is not as affective a tool as
Joe Conason's book. Start her with it.
