For years Al Franken was best known for his hilarious rendition of a supportive, unlicensed 12-step therapist named Stuart Smalley on the comedy show "Saturday Night Live." He played a quiet man in pastel sweaters who forced celebrity guests to gaze in the mirror with him and repeat the self-esteem-building mantra "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough and, doggone it, people like me." In his first book, "Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot," Franken took a decidedly different tone. He bashed the conservative radio-talk-show host and a growing movement of right-wing radicals who have continually scored points against Democrats by haranguing them on the airwaves.
