Books like Why Not Me?

By 1999, Franken was beginning to work his way up as a political satirist of note. For his follow-up to Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot, his next book was a comedic re-imagining of those Theodore White Making of the President books. Franken beats Al Gore in the primary (by a campaign of fighting ATM fees), and then gets elected. Once elected, he is forced to resign due to strange behaviour and the publishing of his campaign diaries.Why Not Me has got a lot of good reviews on Amazon, so I could be in the wrong here. Still, I wasn't a big fan of this book. It had funny parts, but more smirk-funny as opposed to laugh-out-loud bellylaughs. The campaign takes up 75% of the book, and is the least funny thing about it.Even as a Franken fan, I say 'skip it', though all of those reviewers at Amazon say otherwise.
