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.
Please buy this book before you leave the store |

Hysterical, you'll not be disapointed 
Stephen Colbert is truly, a national treasure. Certainly, he's great enough to be considered an international treasure, but America isn't going to share him any time soon.
He is the most intelligent man I've never met, equally funny (if not more so) than any late night talk show host including Jon Stewart.
The book is packed with stickers, and bright colors, so you don't feel like you're disobeying him by actually learning anything.
Although I think some of the jokes can be shared by politicos and non-politicos alike, the only way you're really going to be able to enjoy his work is by having kept up with politics for the past five years, at least. So, take that as a warning to anyone who likes Mind of Mencia and decided that since Colbert is on the same channel that they'd get the humor.
So, what are you waiting for? Buy this book now, you won't regret it.

Got to be kidding
I laughed out loud more than from any book in a long time. The final laugh is to see that most of the negative reviews here are from people who don't even realize Colbert's character is a parody.

Welfare dad 
Two things I find amazing about this guy - 1, he never comes out of character or at least I have never seen him out of character and 2, he changed the pronunciation of his last name to sound what..., French?
I guess I'm considered a Welfare Dad because I didn't buy this garbage, I borrowed it, the CD version, from a friend at work (now I have to reconsider my friendship because my buddy actually thinks this guy is funny). Anyway, after listening to about half the first disc I can honestly say that I haven't even cracked a smile yet. Obtuse cynicism at its worst is all I can call this excuse for a book. Certainly anybody that thinks this is funny, humorous, poignant or sarcastic wit hasn't read or listened to any real humor.
The thing that bothers me most about Colbert (pronounced col-burt and not col-bear) is that I have never seen him out of character leaving me to believe that this guy is really the cynical idiot he portrays himself to be and wondering if he actually applies his value system to his own life. I don't know much about him nor do I care too but I only hope that his family isn't affected by his view of life.
I always read the worst reviews first to see what people have to say negatively about something before I make my decision. I am honest enough to say that I'm not a fan of this guy - I really can't stand him - but I figured hey, he's supposed to be a comedian so let's see how funny he is - well - he ain't funny!!!!

Somewhat funny but basically just a long list of Colberts musings
I like the Colbert Report TV show, and this book is funny, but honestly I only got through a few chapters because much of it is just the wanderings and somewhat random musings of Colbert's mind on everything from politics to families to whatever crosses his mind. Some of it is really quite funny, but it got kind of fatiguing and boring.
