I am America and So Can You [52 Books #1]

I received this as a Christmas present from someone who knew I watch the Colbert Report every day. It's a good fun book for a few chapters, better organized than Jon Stewart's similar book. But like Stewart's book the humor seemed to fall away after a few chapters, becoming a haze of similar jokes repeated and recycled for new topics. Colbert's over-the-top ultra-right persona screams aggrandizement and significance on every page, and I worry some people won't get it's a joke. Ah, well. It's pretty funny but I'd like it at half the size and half the price.
