About this ebook
The New York Times bestseller
One of America’s most original and biting comic satirists, Denis Leary takes on all the poseurs, politicians, and pop culture icons who have sucked in public for far too long. Sparing no one, Leary zeroes in on the ridiculous wherever he finds it—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 CancerLock ’n Load.
Proudly Irish-American, defiantly working class, with a reserve of compassion for the underdog and the overlooked, Leary delivers blistering diatribes that are both penetrating social commentary with no holds barred and laugh-out-loud funny. As always, Leary’s impassioned comic perspective in Why We Suck is right on target.
Leary is the star and co-creator of the Emmy-nominated television show Rescue Me.

Just another foul mouthed liberal whose jealousy of President Bush is evident throughout the book. I thought the book might be funny but I don't even remember cracking a single smile. The filth throughout the book got on my nerves.

I think Denis Leary is an awesome comedian,he shocks you but tells the truth about anything you can imagine , anyone that can relate to everyday life will enjoy this book but he adds that twist,From No cure ,lock an load,to his first movie and movies he's been in, to the serious role of Rescue Me..He's down right funny as hell..
