Breaking News...... Al Franken agrees to change title of book.

[TioDiego]

The book will now be called "Lies, and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them. A You-Know-What and You-Know-What Look at the Right."

[Cooley Hurd]

1. Nooooooooooooooo!

Dammit! I wish he wouldn't capitulate to the thugs!

[HootieMcBoob]

2. is this for real?

do you have a link?

[5thGenDemocrat]

3. Link?

John
Gotta have the link, please and thank you.

[a_random_joel]

4. Link Please!

I don't see it happening...

[hang a left]

5. What a sell out!

They would have been in courts forever. I wonder if it has something to do with the early release of his book? Oh well, he got alot of free publicity out of it. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

[qb]

6. The new title is actually...

"Lies, and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them. A No-Spin Look at the Right."

on edit - I'm assuming the original post is satire by either the poster or Franken himself.

[Doomsayer13]

8. a direct shot at O'Reilly now

even BETTER!

[TioDiego]

10. That's it,,,,, Satire

Sounds better than the lame "I fibbed".

[goobergunch]

11. Even that's impossible...

*glances at book next to keyboard*

[TioDiego]

7. Awww Geez....

Golly Gee, I was, well, I fibbed. What can I say?

[HootieMcBoob]

12. So...you're a lying liar are ya

:)

[TioDiego]

14. It was satire, dang it. Even that other guy said so.

So stop saying that!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

9. no fucking way!

[Bertrand]

13. The only way he should have changed it

was if a court order forced him to.

[alaine]

16. Is it true or not?

Please tell me it's not true...

I wanted him to fight it....

[sujan]

17. no

[TioDiego]

21. It's not true, Darlin'

I fibbed... I mean it was satire.

[Kolesar]

15. Franken should have changed it to "Balanced and Fair"

Everybody would have known what that meant.

[denverbill]

18. Wait. I thought it was the Lies part they didn't like.

Didn't Faux copyright the "Lies and the Lying Liars who Tell Them" part?

[Caution]

23. no..but i think they probably believe

that the actual act of lying and knowledge of how it is done are their trade secrets.

[RobertSeattle]

19. Bought it just 2 hours ago

Will put a Post-It pad and affix the new title...

Have already gone through the chapter wear he destroys (Sl)Ann(dering) Coulter - awesome.
