Book Reviews of 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America (And Al Franken Is #37)
Book Review: From a Serious Journalist, this is a huge disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this book "sight unseen" based on the strength of seeing some of Bernie Goldberg's journalistic work on CBS, thinking that since he was a serious journalist this would probably be a serious piece. Boy was I ever wrong! If this is his idea of a joke, then it's a $26 joke on me and other readers like me who paid full price for this piece of literary embarrassment.
So far as I could tell, there is nothing remotely serious in the book. The summaries of even those people included must have been pulled from some airhead's brain, on the fly. This whole production is a pandering and groveling salute of the worse kind to Rush Limbaugh's brigade of ditto heads. I hope Bernie does not get the "guilties" as he laughs all the way to the bank, because this piece of trash is going to come back to haunt his career. He can count on it.
Since G.W. Bush, Dick Chaney and Condoleeza Rice are nowhere to be found on the author's list one must also assume that he has no idea of what it takes to either improve or screw up America. And given this production, he clearly does not even care.
Another possibility is that the America he is trying to keep from being screwed and the one I am trying to save are two entirely different places. In either case, there should be some overlap in what one considers dangerous to the nation. The only overlap I see is Al Sharpton, who since he is so high on Goldberg's otherwise embarrassing list, I suppose Sharpton cannot be as bad as my prejudices have led me to believe him to be. Based on his rank on Goldberg's list alone, means it is time to reassess my prejudices against the oily looking Reverend. Al? Get ready to be promoted!
