Satire: FOX viewers mistakenly buy new Al Franken book
"Completely dense" FOX viewers mistakenly buy new Al Franken book

U.S. District Judge Denny Chin admits he overestimated the intelligence of conservative book buyers.

New York--Preliminary sales figures and exit interviews at area book stores over the past week indicate that millions of FOX News viewers are too stupid to realize Al Franken's new book is mocking them.

The rest is here.

3. I love it I love it I love it!
Bill O'Reilly will get a big bang out this piece of news. His audience is so intelligent. Bill O'Reilly thinks he has so much to give
and in reality his audience at Fox News is as insipid as he is full of himself, 'eh?

4. The last paragraph looks like an actual Franken quote.
If he didn't say it, I bet he wishes he had.


This whole sorry incident just goes to show why comedians prefer to have Republicans in power. It makes their jobs so much easier.

6. I Like This Part:
"'There is no way a person not completely dense would be confused by this cover,' (Judge Chin) said. 'I mean, you'd have to be a total jackass to not get that this is a joke.'

"However, experts testified that anyone who watches the O'Reilly Factor on a regular basis may, indeed, be just such a jackass."

7. I think I'll actually buy this book...
I'm not one to buy books usually, to be honest, and especially not those of contemporary political commentary. I'm more of a historical reader, but I'll buy this book. I saw Al Franken on David Letterman last night, and he had a genuinely good sense of humor (and sanity!) that's very refreshing.
