3 out of 5 starsI haven't read this book, but..., 2008-08-26
...the title intrigues me. Why entertainers think it's their job to tell me how to vote is beyond me. I have a t.v., a radio, an internet connection and a brain. In other words, shut up and sing.

3 out of 5 starsTypical Neocon Rantings, 2007-11-02
Laura Ingraham is hysterical, the best comedic writer I've come across in years. This neocon nut job thinks liberals are "un-American" and that those who are not Baptist bible thumpers are "morally bankrupt". I could go into which ideology our Founding Fathers favored- conservative or liberal- but I'll just say this: if you think questioning political leaders, as our Founders did, is "un-American", or that protesting WAR is anything but Christlike, you'll probably love this book and reference it many times in debates with those of us with sense. But for those of us who prefer rational arguments to calling someone with whom we disagree "un-patriotic", we'll stick with authors who aren't headed for the loony bin.

4 out of 5 starsThe Truth Hurts, The 'elites' are not elite!, 2007-08-20
Political commentator and radio talk-show host Laura Ingraham decries self-styled "elite" groups who believe themselves superior to those with traditional American values. She singles out mainstream media, academic intellectuals, and showbiz celebrities as well as the United Nations and antireligious and pro-immigration supporters. This is an interesting book and an easy read.

1 out of 5 starsDon't waste your money!!!, 2007-08-12
This book is a waste of time. It has no real substance. She constantly contradicts herself, and drones on and on about nothing.

2 out of 5 starsFeels like a high school term paper, 2007-08-10
I knew nothing of Laura Ingraham before picking up this book. Never heard her radio show, never read anything (that I'm aware of, at least.) Though I agree with much of what she says, she says it in a boring, repetitive, know-it-all, condescendingly-laughing-at-the-condescending, smarmy and whiny manner. The personal asides, where she describes those she disagrees with as failed actors or once-funny comedians may work on radio, but in print just come off as mean spirited and irrelevant. We care about the views, not the source.

Besides being smug and pompous, she is a mediocre writer. (And the typos--come on, guys....) Her prose reads like someone who talks extemporaneously for a living. And I don't think I learned anything new at all. The same ideas are expressed far more eloquently by many others. Mona Charen, Daniel Flynn, Peter Wood. Go to those authors to read excellent prose and thoughtful reasoning. This is stream of consciousness blather, a product that feels rushed to market. Books written in a hurry die equally fast. Save your time. Go elsewhere.
