America Again: Re-becoming the Greatness We Never Weren't

by Stephen Colbert
Scott County Library audiobook 3 CDs
read by the author
genre: satire

What I liked:
  • the observations on today's government, economy, health care, etc.
  • the "interviews" with citizens on various topics (my favorite was the Canadian talking about health care)
  • Colbert is intelligent and observant
What I disliked:
  • some of his crudeness bordering on nasty
  • some of his diatribes against liberals or others . . . I wonder if people ever take him seriously? I know some people who agree with some of the rhetoric he's spewing. He means it as satire; but what if folks think "yeah! That's right!" as he's ripping people's point of view
  • lots of swearing
