Product Description
Congratulations--just by looking at this webpage, you became 25% more patriotic.

From Stephen Colbert, the host of television's highest-rated punditry show The Colbert Report, comes the book to fill the other 23 hours of your day. I Am America (And So Can You!) contains all of the opinions that Stephen doesn'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 at the very least, you'll understand that your differing opinion is wrong.

I Am America (And So Can You!) showcases Stephen Colbert at his most eloquent and impassioned. He is an unrelenting fighter for the soul of America, and in this book he fights the good fight for the traditional values that have served this country so well for so long.

Don't Waste Your Money September 4, 2008
I am glad I got this from my local library rather than waste good money. While entertaining at times, this mishmash of nonsense has the feel of Colbert's appearance - a deer caught in the headlights, and wired out on caffeine.

More of the same from the TV Show September 3, 2008
I'm a huge fan of Colbert, but unfortunately I felt a little robbed after buying this book. The book is undoubtedly amusing but it mainly illicits chuckles and grins from the reader rather than genuine laugh-out-loud moments, which you would come across infrequently throughout the entire book.

This stems from the fact that the entire book is more or less the same diatribes from his show (mainly "The Word" segment), just converted to text and far more lengthy. And its other significant flaw is that it is just not insightful enough to be memorable.

Don't get me wrong, if you're a Colbert fan this is a book worth reading - just not to be bought as a pricey hardcover.

Unreadable images on the Kindle September 3, 2008
The book is great, the first half had me in stitches. Unfortunately as a reader on the Kindle I couldn't make out most of the images. If they were available at higher resolution and with the proper contrast they would be OK, so its not a limitation of the Kindle. The publisher obviously never previewed the book on the Kindle before sending it out.

I Am America! August 30, 2008
If you like The Colbert Report, you will love this book! It is typical Stephen Colbert humor, and you even get "The Word" as you read. This book is hilarious and a must-read for anyone who likes sarcasm and outrageous humor. It is full of truthiness! Be a hero, read this book, and I promise, you will laugh out loud!

Colbert-rific August 28, 2008
Simply put, this is a must for any fan of Daily Show, Politically Incorrect, or any similar show. Stephen has an unusual wit about his comedy. The footnotes give the book just that much more value. And, you can nominate books for "The Stepehen T. Colbert Award for The Literacy Excellence"
