Franken Readers?? Who is "Anonymous?"
Anyone currently reading The Truth (with jokes)? Have just finished the foreword, written by Anonymous, and would love to know who anonymous is....have googled, but nothing comes up. Does anyone else have any ideas? I have one or two, but would like to see what someone else thinks.

1. I've heard rumors, but nothing provable. I've heard "Anonymous" is...
Bill Clinton.

8. Considering the over-the-top praise
Edited on Wed Nov-16-05 06:57 PM by Geoff R. Casavant
I figured it was Franken himself, with his usual faux ego trip on himself. His portrayal of himself as a big ego shines through all his books.

12. I don't think so...supposedly, this person is MAJOR FAMOUS
and, if you can't remember the guy's name, and I can't either....then it probably isn't him. Do you mean Clarke?

13. no
the book was actually published by an active CIA person, which was why the actual author was listed as "Anonymous"
