Synopsis

An unrelenting fighter for the soul of America, Stephen Colbert offers up truthiness, untold insight, and the only correct opinions in America in his hilarious political satire book based on the hit series, The Colbert Report.
Congratulations -- just by looking at this webpage, you became 25% more patriotic.
From Stephen Colbert, the former host of television's highest-rated punditry show The Colbert Report, comes a book to fill all twenty-four hours of your day. I Am America (And So Can You!) contains all of the opinions that Stephen didn't have time to shoehorn into his nightly broadcast.
Dictated directly into a microcassette recorder over a three-day weekend, this book contains Stephen's most deeply held knee-jerk beliefs on:

• The American Family
• Race
• Religion
• Sex
• Sports
• and many more topics, conveniently arranged in chapter form.

Always controversial and outspoken, Stephen addresses why Hollywood is destroying America by inches, why evolution is a fraud, and why the elderly should be harnessed to millstones.
You may not agree with everything Stephen says, but with this book, at the very least, you'll understand that your differing opinion is wrong.

About this title

About the Author:

Stephen Colbert was The Daily Show's longest-running and most diverse correspondent. His personality, insight and overall rightness could only lead to The Colbert Report, a half-hour nightly platform for him to give his take on the issues of the day, and, more importantly, to tell you why everyone else's take is just plain wrong. The show has been hugely successful.

From AudioFile:

Colbert bloviates this all-points spoof, but the full cast includes the oldest man in the world, who flatlines after reminiscing about the joy of racism. God, who also testifies, is a huge Colbert fan. He once answered everyones prayers, He explains, but now its gimme, gimme, gimme. Since players on both teams beg for victory, I usually have no choice but to answer the prayer of whatever team is better. Religion, Sex and Dating, The Homosexual Agenda (Do Not Read By Glowstick Light)--the fabulous fake TV pundit sets the world aright. Its all in Colberts voice: Hes angry, hes confident, and hes kidding. If only all TV and radio pundits traded the hating business for the laughing business. Lord, hear my prayer.
