(And Al Franken Is #37)

Audiobook

Bernard Goldberg takes dead aim at the America Bashers (the cultural elites who look down their snobby noses at ""ordinary"" Americans and detest so much of what this country is about)...the Hollywood Blowhards (incredibly ditzy celebrities who think they're smart just because they're famous)...the TV Schlockmeisters (including the one whose show has been compared to a churning mass of maggots devouring rotten meat)...the Intellectual Thugs (big-wigs at some of our best colleges, whose views run the gamut from left-wing to far left-wing)...and many more.

Goldberg names names, profiling the villains in his rogues' gallery, one by one, from 100 down to 1 — and yes, you-know-who is #37. But Goldberg doesn't just round up the usual suspects we have come to know and detest. He also exposes some of the people who operate away from the limelight but still manage to pull a lot of strings and do all sorts of harm to our culture.

100 People Who Are Screwing Up America is about a country where as long as anything goes, sooner or later everything will go.

      The winner of eight Emmy Awards for his work as a news correspondent takes to task 100 people who he believes are muddying the integrity and morality of American society. While his voice is better suited for the newsroom, he makes his case with vocal agility and verbal cleverness. Goldberg takes pokes at celebrities like Michael Jackson and Michael Moore, politicians like Ted Kennedy and Howard Dean, activists, intellectuals, and television "Schlockmeisters." He also takes aim at former Louisiana State Rep and KKK leader David Duke, as well as Judge Roy Moore, who refused to remove the Ten Commandments from his Alabama courthouse. In all, this program is as thought provoking as it is rousing and entertaining. S.E.S. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine

      Starred review from March 15, 2006
      Left-wing, right-wing, blue state, red state, Republican or Democrat, no matter what label you wear, this is one fascinating -and challenging -book. Goldberg is definitely a right-wing, red-state Republican, but his look at the 100 mostly left-wing, blue-state Democrats is right on target. His argument isn -t that they are stupid for believing what they do but that they bear a large part of the blame for what -s wrong in America and for the garbage that passes itself off as -art - in today -s society. For example, there is the Florida congresswoman who is outraged that hurricanes seem to be given only -white - names and that good African American names aren -t being heard; there are the egghead college professors who seem to equate America-bashing with meaningful educational dialog; and the rap -artists - who gleefully rhyme about every depraved sexual and criminal act known to man. Goldberg -s narration adds greatly to the overall enjoyment of this book, and no matter what the listener -s personal viewpoint, there is a lot to think about in this collection of the -Who -s Who of Contemporary Nincompoops. - Highly recommended for all collections." -Joseph L. Carlson, Allan Hancock Coll., Lompoc, CA"
