Congratulations on 300. You’re still listing Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them as Al Franken’s most recent book before becoming a Senator on your Audible ad – it wasn’t, it was published in 2003. The Truth (With Jokes), published in 2005, was the mot recent book by Al Franken before he became a Senator.
