> **Captain Murdoch** , you make an interesting point, which leads me to ask theis question. If the book isn’t considered a parody, then would O’Reilly be right in suing Franken for defamation of character? \*\*

For what? Have you actually read it? You should, everyone should. It’s a terrific distillation of the current insanity we’re living in.

Back to the question…assuming you’ve read it, exactly where do you think O’Reilly has been defamed? Franken’s just telling the truth. Can’t be sued for that.
