I Am America
(And So Can You!)

by Stephen Colbert



      There is nothing I can say about Stephen Colbert that the world has not already witnessed themselves. He is one unique guy. I Am America (And So Can You!) is in the same mode as his television show, offering up his strong opinions and satiric nature. He narrates the entire audio, which puts everything in first person; so, you get a strong sense of who Colbert is inside and out. If you don’t know who he is, you are in for a shock and might even wonder if this guy is for real. I can say emphatically, yes he is for real or, well, he’s for real, but his words may not be.

You may not agree with his strong voice about controversial subjects but he certainly is no fence sitter. His audio discusses many subjects that could include "fightin’ words" if said in mixed surroundings, but because it is on tape, you can only grin and bear it.

I enjoyed the style in which he delivered his messages and actually found myself agreeing with many of his opinions. I laughed at the intensity with which he attacked his subjects and scratched my head at others. Anyone who follows Colbert will definitely want to add this to his or her collection. And those who have not listened to him before should definitely try it. It is not for everyone, but if you want to take a wild ride on The Colbert Report train, strap yourself in and hang on tight, there is no stopping this one.
