Comedian Jim Norton is the undisputed King of Cringe, and he's bring his loathing for the world's inhabitants to a new book called "I Hate Your Guts." In his latest publishing foray, he takes aim at some high-profile people, including Hilary Clinton, Al Sharpton, and Heather Mills. I think we can all agree that he has a lot to work with.I personally am really looking forward to what he has to say about Dr. Phil when I Hate Your Guts is released. But there are also sections on Al Roker and Derek Jeter, so it sounds like there will be something for everyone!
Norton is best known for bringing his acerbic wit to two HBO special, five Tonight Show appearances, and he also mans the third mic on the CBS and XM-syndicated Opie & Anthony radio show. If you're a fan of Craigslist humor, you might have run across some of his memorable work before!
Over the past few years, he has released some very memorable sets, including Monster Rain and Happy Endings, so I Hate Your Guts is sure to find some solid footing in a short time.
What makes Norton so funny is that as much as condemns others in I Hate Your Guts, he also condemns himself. If I Hate Your Guts is like any of his other work, you can bet that it will be uncomfortable, groan-inducing, and entirely memorable and entertaining.
For example, his advice to Eliot Spitzer: "If you run for re-election, instead of shaking hands with voters, let them smell your fingers."
Or his advice to Hilary Clinton: "When you absolutely must make a point of laughing publicly, don't fake it. Just think of something that genuinely makes you laugh, like lowering taxes or any random male having his penis cut off."
To Al Sharpton: "The next time you feel the need to protest, do so dressed as an elk in Ted Nugent's backyard."
