Good Time To Re-Read Senator Al Franken's: O'Reilly's lies in 'Liars: The Lying Liars Who Tell Them'

[kpete]

Heck, SENATOR Franken wrote an entire chapter about O'Reilly's lies in 'Liars: The Lying Liars Who Tell Them.'

"Actually God asked me to write this book, because he was so pissed off at Bush who claimed, whose friends claimed, he had been chosen by God. And God said, 'No, he hadn't. He was just chosen by Clarence Thomas,'" said Franken at a book convention, where he was promoting his book "Lies and the Lying Liars who Tell Them."

"So Bill, I'm sorry that I call you one of the many people who do lie in my book," he said to Fox News' conservative commentator Bill O'Reilly, who was also present.

A heated exchange with O'Reilly, who was also hawking a book, turned the usually sedate event into a shouting match.

O'Reilly responded by saying, "You're supposed to be here 15 minutes, this idiot goes 35, OK? All he's got in six and a half years is that I misspoke, that I labeled a Polk award a Peabody."

Soon the two were talking over each other.

"You had your 35 minutes, now shut up," said O'Reilly.

"This isn't your show, Bill," Franken countered.

And then came the lawsuit.

Fox News' lawyers, reportedly at O'Reilly's urging, filed suit against Franken, claiming the title of his new book violated their trademark motto.

But, Franken got the last laugh. The judge threw out the case and Franken got a windfall of free publicity.

2. Or re-listen to the audio book.

It's even funnier when Al reads it himself. I'm glad he's a senator, but I do miss the Oy Oy Oy show! I miss his singing too. Al is the best!

3. Senator Franken is a great actor!!

Shakespeare-worthy performance as "AMTRAK Baggage Handler #1" in Trading Places.

His comedy partner, Tom Davis, was "AMTRAK Baggage Handler #2". Also truly a great thespian.

9. He's the star of Stuart Saves His Family and of the creator and star of 'LateLine' a short lived but

excellent sit com about the news media....

4. Billo the Perv is pissed that Al Franken has achieved the status

of a United States Senator. It is a position that Billo will never achieve.

5. Radio version: The Al Franken Show -- Sgt Bill O'Reilly, Tales Of Combat!

6. Correct the book title, it is "Lies and the Lying Liars who tell them"

Not Liars and the lying liars who tell them.

It is a great book btw

8. Ha ha, Billo is still trying to "get at" Al.....if you can, watch this little ditty from last night.

O’Reilly ended his rant by saying the criticism of his claims about the war reminded him of a time years ago when Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) questioned his working-class upbringing. O’Reilly called Franken “perhaps the biggest liar I have ever known,” and a “dishonest smear merchant.”

Asked Dad if he wanted to read it, and ever the liberal Democrat, said,

"No, I know that."
