Item Description
I Am America (And So Can You!) is a 2007 satirical bestseller book by American comedian Stephen Colbert and the writers of The Colbert Report and is autographed by Stephen Colbert.
The book is loosely structured around the fictional life story of Stephen Colbert as he appears on his TV show, The Colbert Report. As of the April 6, 2008, publishing, the book had been on The New York Times Bestseller List in the Hardcover Nonfiction category for 24 weeks, ranking number one for 14 of them.
I Am America (And So Can You!) is described as being a "pure extension" of The Colbert Report, delving into the views of Colbert's "well-intentioned, poorly informed high status idiot" character on what he considers to be the most pressing issues facing America. The book draws some influence from the literary endeavors of the character's pundit models, such as Bill O'Reilly's book, The O'Reilly Factor (2000) and Sean Hannity's Deliver Us From Evil (2004), which Colbert says he forced himself to read as a reference.
Red margin notes appear throughout the book, providing humorous reactions and counterpoints to Colbert's arguments in a style comparable to the Report's Wørd segment. The cover features a sticker depicting a burning book, declaring I Am America to be a winner of "The Stephen T. Colbert Award for the Literary Excellence." A sheet of twelve similar stickers are provided inside, with which readers can nominate other books for the award. A second sheet of stickers containing positive expressions such as "Hell Yeah!", "Nailed It!" and "It's Morning In Colbert-ica" is included for readers as bookmarks to remind themselves "when you agreed with me most."
