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

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.

"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.

13. The only way he should have changed it

15. Franken should have changed it to "Balanced and Fair"
Everybody would have known what that meant.

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?
