Where did a comedian like Al Franken get the time, research power and expertise to cover such a wide range of subject matters, almost all of which are out of his normal depth?Horowitz also rips the book for not being funny. I'm almost done with it. It's hysterical - much funnier than the slapstick of Ann Coulter, the wackiness of Sean Hannity, or even the crack comic mind of David Horowitz.
The answer, which Franken himself provides, is Harvard. It seems that the Kennedy School of Government there called him up and offered him a fellowship.
He had to write something, but he could use 14 students to provide him with his research and write as much of it as he cared to let them. All under the auspices of the university.
Although liberals like Franken regularly complain about the unfair advantage "big right-wing think tanks" provide to the Republican cause, Harvard and in fact the entire Ivy League constitute infinitely larger left-wing think tanks that serve the Democratic cause.
Ask yourself: Whose Passover seder would you rather attend: Franken's or Horowitz's? 'Nuff said.
