Book by Colbert Stephen

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

What The Daily Show is to evening news, The Colbert Report is to personality-driven pundit shows. Colbert brings his sarcastic charm to a half-hour report, tackling the important issues of the day and telling his guests why their opinions are just plain wrong. Stephen stands for truthiness and his American right to copyright that word and claim ownership of it.

I AM AMERICA the audiobook, features an all-American cast that includes Paul Dinello, Kevin Dorff, Greg Hollimon, Evie McGee, David Pasquesi, Amy Sedaris, Allison Silverman, Bryan Stack, and Jon Stewart. Stephen Colbert describes his audiobook as a simple audiobook from a simple mind--Stephen Colbert. It is one man's attempt to wedge his brain between hardback covers---in this case CD jackets. In plain conversational language, not to mention the occasional grunt and/or whistle, Stephen explains his take on the most pressing concerns of our culture: Faith, Family...Hygiene.

Why now? Stephen fears America has lost its balls and he hopes to re-ballify us. Even the ladies. Ladies can have balls--lady-balls too. Stephen likes to call those "Thatchers." Stephen will show how he got his mammoth swinging sack, with tales of courage and vital documents from his own life: the Mother's Day card he made at age six, disputed credit card bills, putt-putt score cards--all the major milestones.

Oh and don't buy this if you don't have any balls! But if you do buy it, you will get them, and then you can buy another copy with a clean conscience.

Quatrième de couverture :

'A great read! I laughed, I cried, I lost 15 pounds! I cannot recommend this book highly enough' - Stephen Colbert

Congratulations - just by opening the cover of this book you became 25 per cent more American - even if you're not American!

From Stephen Colbert, the host of television's favourite* punditry show, The Colbert Report, comes the book to fill the other 23½ hours of your day. Dictated directly into a microcassette recorder over a three-day weekend, this book contains Stephen's most deeply held knee-jerk beliefs on The Family, Race, Religion, Sex, Sports and many more topics, conveniently arranged in chapter form.

Always controversial and outspoken, Stephen addresses why Hollywood is destroying his great nation inch by inch, 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 come to understand that your differing opinion is wrong.

Stephen Colbert is America. With the help of this book, so can you!
