Mr. Franken is also a socialist, and a self-described statist. He supports the welfare state, increased regulation over all manner of private economic activities, gun control, Al Gore’s environmental policies, and abortion.
His new book, Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right, is hilarious, and you should probably read it.
Why? Because even though Franken has little depth on many or most important ideas and issues, he does have something of value to offer the libertarian: a hard look at what some of our most outspoken sometime-"allies" on the right are really like.
