‘Why We Suck’

Denis Leary attempts to bring us the answer in his new book titled: “Why We Suck: A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid.”

According to the Product Description:“In Why We Suck, Leary’s famously smart style and sardonic wit have found their fullest and fiercest expression yet. Zeroing in on the ridiculous wherever he finds it, Leary unravels his Irish Catholic upbringing, the folly of celebrity, the pressures of family life, and the great hypocrisy of politics with the same bright, savage, and profane insight he brought to his critically acclaimed one-man shows No Cure for Cancer and Lock ’n Load, and his platinum-selling song, “Asshole.”Proudly Irish American, defiantly working class, with a reserve of compassion for the underdog and the overlooked, Leary delivers blistering diatribes that are penetrating social commentary with no holds barred. Leary’s book will find wide appeal among people who want to laugh out loud or find a guide who matches their view of what’s wrong in America and the world-at-large; and fans of his one-man shows, his many movies, and Rescue Me, Leary’s Golden Globe and Emmy–nominated television show. Why We Suck is the latest salvo from one of America’s most original and biting comic satirists.”USA Today has a review that readers can find here. Apparently some of his opinions are causing a stir, but then again, it’s only Denis Leary. Viking Adult is the publisher. Read the full review here.

I guess we all know that Denis Leary is Irish,from Boston loves the red sox and has a crush on firemen. Other than that and his command of every vulgar and profane cliche in the world, I see nothing inthis book you couldn't have gotten from the first 3 minutes of one of his monlogues. I think the book is a rehash of his old stuff to prop up a saggin career. Just because you played a firefighter don't make you on, Denis.
