Uses humor effectively wisely and effectively to go after Republicans, conservatives who for years has been spewing crap. He's very witty. His book Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them was a hit because it was time someone uncovered the lies and twisted nonsense from the far right. It may have made some Republicans and conservatives uncomfortable and angry, but I really don't care. Franken does indeed do his research, he just uses humor to get his point across. As for his radio show being called The O'Franken Factor, I think it's a hilarious jab to Bill O'Reilly.
