"Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations" (ISBN 0-385-31474-4) is a 1996 book by political satirist Al Franken. It is satirically critical of right-wing political figures, such as Bob Dole, Phil Gramm, Newt Gingrich, and particularly radio host Rush Limbaugh. Franken often makes his points through humor, including the use of graphs with his handwriting superimposed over them.
Franken has said that he chose to make the book's title an ad hominem attack as "an ironic comment on the fact that Rush makes ad hominem attacks all the time." [Al Franken, Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, p.85.] Franken said his motivation for writing the book was the rise of Newt Gingrich, who used Limbaugh as "his mouthpiece."
