Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations is a 1996 book by liberal author and comedian, Al Franken. It is satirically critical of such right-wing political figures as Senator Bob Dole, Senator Phil Gramm, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, and particularly radio host Rush Limbaugh (among others). Franken often makes his points through humor, including the use of graphs with his handwriting superimposed over them.
