The book makes good and valid points, however much of it is filled with statistics, graphs, and long lists not many would be willing to wade through. It is very simply written, easy to read, but unfortunately mixes fact with opinion. The annoying "action agendas" at the end of each chapter were seriously annoying just because they are all the same and involve nothing more than common sense exhortations. Really not much I did not know already in here, and I probably would not buy another Morris book, although I'll watch him on Hannity and Bill O.

I'll never forget when Morris was forced out of his pollster job in the Clinton Administration after reports of drug use and depraved sexual activity, including engaging in S&M activity with a prostitute and singing "Popeye the Sailor Man" to her on a hotel balcony in his underwear. It's good to see that he's recovered from that shameful episode. He has now entered into a highly lucrative career stringing long lists of random, unrelated issues like Obama, United Nations, John Cusak, tobacco companies, lobbyists for foreign governments, drug companies, John Kerry, Madeline Albright, etc., and creates these delightful book titles out of them and fills the pages inside with his highly informative analysis of how liberals are to blame for everything that is wrong in America. Even though he was publicly exposed as a depraved sexual deviant during his Clinton job, Morris nonetheless makes valid points about how liberals have destroyed the moral fabric of this great nation.

This book should be a must for all Americans as it reveals just how we are being ripped off, particularly by our elected representatives. No one (except Bill O'Reilly) is looking out for us.

I found this book to be a mixed bag.
On one hand the authors documented the outrageous spending and ethical violations in Washington. They offer some sensible solutions. On the other hand their validation of domestic spying is questionable.

On Immigration they use the 9/11 high-jackers as an effective example of how visas sometimes shouldn't be issued and that visitors that overstay their visas have to be dealt with more effectively.

The chapter on the internal A.C.L.U. battle and the behavior of Mr. Romero (which is very J.Edgar Hooveresque) was mind-boggling!

The authors advocate the idea that Congress and Senators should work for minimum wage. This is fantasy, but it sounds good!! It's hard to argue for the ridiculous, self-serving, abbreviated work schedule of Congress. The authors are totally on point.

The pharmaceutical companies and their relationships with health care professionals in over-medicating patients is an issue that deserves more public scrutiny.

The authors serve up many examples of family members of Senators and Congressmen making the easy money as lobbyists.

They document the U.N. scandals very well. Particularly the Oil-For-Food scam. The authors listed the many beneficiaries of bribery. I disagree with their solution and would propose instead that the U.S.A. shut down and expel the United Nations.

I don't agree with the authors' positive attitude toward the PATRIOT ACT. There has to be a better way than giving up civil liberties and advocating the monitoring of internet usage or library reading lists. I am skeptical of the "thwarted terrorist activities" outlined in the book. By their very nature these cases would be difficult to detail. Spying isn't something any government is going to rush to admit. We are left as citizens to trust and believe what the Bush administration leaks to the public.

Overall "Outrage" is written quite well, although with a conservative twist.

I try to read both sides of the political spectrum, but 'Outrage' seems unfortunatly typical of conservative messages. The book seems to mirror the Fox News style of presentation. It seems written for a slightly less informed crowd, I felt the language used was a bit dumbed down, and there was a bit of scare-mongering going on. Being in the financial industry, I really was interested in a topic I felt conservatives would have a better understanding of, yet, the book seemed more about taking random swipes at groups the author disagreed with. For instance, the section on the ACLU seemed to be a random attack. Most other parts of the book delt with the waste of tax payer's money, while that section focused on the ACLU wasting their money. Who cares if the ACLU wastes their money? It's their money, not ours. The books bills itself as a look at wasted taxpayers money, and that chapter is just one example the skewed writing. I finished up to about the three quarters mark of this book, before moving on to better books. It's fairly rare that I do not finish a book, to be honest (the last being "The Republican War on Science", which I found to have similar faults). On a final note, most of the sources seemed dubious at best. I realize the author worked for Fox News, but working at Fox News should only further discredit the organization, in my opinion. Using them as a major source of citation did little to reinforce the weight of their arguments.
