Funniest Person on Earth

If you like lesbian and gay humor you are in for a treat. Kate will keep you laughing from the first word until the last word of this book. Laughter is the best medicine.

Laughed till I wet my pantiliner

Great book, but I wanted to verify the statement by Maggie B. concerning Rosie O'Donnell. My cousin, Wanda, is in her chub club and before she was allowed on the set, Rosie herself stuck her head in the green room and said, "If any of you are queer, keep it to yourself".

Laugh out loud funny!!!!!

Kate Clinton's debut book is nothing less than hysterical. She has such an easy style of writing and a wide appeal (well, if you are lesbian)! I saw her read from the book in Seattle and her reading was just like her writing....natural, witty and smart! Be careful where you read this book...I read it in the lunchroom at work and everyone had to know what I was reading....I couldn't help but laugh out laugh every few minutes. Good thing I am out at work! You may enjoy this book if you are straight...but you may not "get" all of it! This is one of the best books I have read this year. I highly recommend it!

Funny and truthful, it makes you nod your head "yes".

This book is a sharp, witty, all too true, account of what the world looks like today. Kate goes right to the root of the problem, no matter who it is and holds them up to all of us for inspection. She has an excellent, quick wit that goes right to your funny bone but I found myself identifying with her frustrations with politicians and I experienced deja vue when she recounted parts of her catholic upbringing. I always want her on my side. We should all be so eloquent in exposing the real issues. Of course, lots of the book gives us a glimpse of what makes Kate "kate" and that's even more fun. Miss "Hillarity Clinton" does it again! The book will make you laugh till your sides hurt, but, then you will start to THINK , too.

Hilarious,intelligent,right-on!

Besides being very cute,Ms.Fumerist can hold anyone`s attention,with a great writing style,she`s funny,punny,and along with intelligence,intuition,and wit,she`s able to evaluate the political scene with uncanny accuracy. It is our good fortune that she at last has put on paper what she has so capably done on stage. It is a great loss to our children,however,that the schools have lost a great mind,and a thought provoker. Move over Molly Ivins!!!!!
