The full title being rather unwieldy, let's stick with the abbreviated version that everybody knows. I also note that America (The Book) is what is used in the book to refer to itself. Stan 16:31, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
-You do know that Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz was Jon Stewart's name before he changed it, right? He didn't spell anything wrong.
The second link down, to the Reuters story, appears to be 404. Anyone have a good version of the story? Turnstep 22:19, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC)
The last page of my copy (pre election) includes an "open letter" to Sean Penn. Should this be added to the table of contents?
I got the book after the election, but would like to see what's in it. If it's on par with the rest, it'll be hillarious (of course). Does anyone know:
a. Where could I find it? b. If this is even the right place to ask about it? c. And, if so, where should I look for it?
If anyone can answer any or all of these questions, please tell me at WAS 04:03, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
The election guide only appears in editions published before the election, IIRC.
What I did was go to a public library and read the last section. Libraries usually have first editions, which would include the election guide. I read the election guide, and while there were a few good bits in there, it was rather forgettable, so I'm not too upset that my copy doesn't have it.-- 68.58.76.109 ( talk) 20:13, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
Big negative review...can we add a link to a positive one to balance out? Thanos6 06:40, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
Any chance you might be able to replace "public schools" with something like "state schools"? The british will inevitably be confused as, to us, public schools are actually private fee paying schools for the wealthy rather than actually for the general public (I know, don't ask.....)? -- Mcginnly | Natter 22:59, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
I believe that Stanley K. Schultz is a real person and a legitimate Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and rly did collaborate on the "Teacher's Edition". This wasn't just Jon Stewart making up a "real scholar" to back his views. Can anybody confirm or refute this? I just think it's important b/c the current article made it seem like that Mr. Schultz was a ficticious person concocted by Jon Stewart. - Angelwings
I believe the purpose of Dr. Schultz's contribution was so that there would be an incentive to purchase the paperback (Teacher's Edition) version of the book, other than naked photos of Roberts and Alito.-- Bermy88 ( talk) 20:18, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
I removed the following, because none of it is cited, or even attributes the claims made. And most of it appears to be wikieditors opinions of one joke in the book Ashmoo ( talk) 10:04, 24 July 2009 (UTC):
Some Asian-American organizations criticized the book for a section called the "Color By Numbers Senate" which claimed that every US senator as of 2004 was white. citation needed In fact, Asian-Americans Daniel Akaka and Daniel Inouye of Hawaii were both senators in 2004. In addition, Ben Campbell of Colorado, who is of Native American descent, was a senator until he retired in 2005. Historically, the Senate has had at least one non-white member every session since 1959, when Hiram Fong was elected as one of Hawaii's first two senators.

I deleted the contribution to the book by Ed Helms where he basically says to would have some people executed if he was in political power. I deleted because in these times, there are statements like this from extremist groups.
However, I was confusing him with another "Daily Show" contributor who made disturbing, violent comments on the show. However, I explained my edit but do not know how to remove that part of the explanation of the edit. Starlighsky ( talk) 19:22, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
