100 people who are screwing up America-- and Al Franken is #37 / Bernard Goldberg.
Goldberg takes aim at the America Bashers (the cultural elites who look down their snobby noses at "ordinary" Americans), the Hollywood Blowhards (incredibly ditzy celebrities who think they're smart just because they're famous), the TV Schlockmeisters, the Intellectual Thugs (bigwigs at some of our best colleges), and many more. Some supposedly "serious" journalists also made the list. 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. Most of all, this book is about a country where as long as anything goes, as one of the good guys in the book puts it, sooner or later everything will go.--From publisher description.
