I think I love Al Franken.

[patrice]

This is a surprise to me.

[senseandsensibility]

1. juicy details please!

:-)

[senseandsensibility]

8. Got it!

Turn on Al's show now! He's raking the white house press corps over the coals for not asking Scotty about his untrue statements that rove was not the source!:bounce: Go, AL! I'm in love too.

[patrice]

12. I'd like to oblige you, but I don't do that any more . . . .

used to be pretty good at it too, but I don't save what I write all of the time.

[Pirate Smile]

2. I take it you are an XM person and you are getting your first listen?

[patrice]

7. Must get XM! I'm tied to my wireless laptop.

I'd like to be able to go out and do my yard work.

I've been listening for a while, and there were some things that were bothering me, interrupting and some silliness that was ill-timed or something. He seems to be mellowing a bit or something and works better with Katherine now, even in their little "fights".

He seems more genuine to me now.

[Pirate Smile]

11. I take my wireless lap top outside to listen too.

I have a big backyard and it will continue to stream as long as the computer is within around 50 feet from the house.

Have you tried it?

[patrice]

14. Thanks for the suggestion. I will.

[NYCGirl]

3. I know I love Al. I don't always agree with his political views, but he's

brilliant (and even better to watch on Sundance as to listen to).

[in_cog_ni_to]

4. Why? Did he do something today?

I wouldn't know because AAR left my Sirius Radio today. :cry: Gone. Poof! No more AAR.

[proud patriot]

5. I must admit , I love him too

:hi:

[BlueWolff]

6. YUCK

He is annoying. And that hideous laugh on Kath. Lanfer....YUCK....He is just out for himself. The best shows on AAR are Rhandi, Morning Sedition, R Maddow, Majority Report, Flanders, Ring of fire, Malloy!
Franken is pure fluff. Some great guest because he is a star, but his obsession with Rush and O'Reilly is stale to say the least!

[patrice]

9. Hardly with the Eternity of Lies those guys pump out, all Al

has to do is talk about anything that goes on.

P.S. I wasn't suggesting you have sex with him; were you?

16. The intensity of your reaction is interesting.

Do you ask yourself why you react so strongly? Out of the MILLIONS of things to react to why Al?

19. Hey newbie, she was talking about the RIGHT WING as liars.

I think you owe the poster an apology.

[BlueWolff]

21. Nope

I stand firm. Why are you getting involved. It is over with now?

[patrice]

22. Ok, sorry I annoyed you.

I really am curious as to the answer(s) to the question. I really thought we might talk about it.

[BlueWolff]

23. I apologize

I thought you said that the shows I mentioned were liars.....About Al. He seems to always shy away from the real tough issues. Lanfer is always interupting and asking silly questions a la MSM. All those so called funny skits...not funny to me....He also has Fineman on all the time and never call Howard on his garbage articles. I could go on. I think there are better shows on AAR..As I said he gets great guest...Joe Conason is one of the best writers EVER!...
OK
OK

[Pirate Smile]

18. It is bizarre and the troll accusations? I think there is a race to

see how fast they can get tombstoned.

[onehandle]

10. He's the most effective host on the network.

He can talk about what the media considers radioactive (in other words, the truth) and make it mainstream.

He is smart and entertaining.

Effective.

[patrice]

15. Springer is VERY good with Callers.

I know, I taught high school for 10 years, getting people to talk honestly, whatever their agenda, and keeping anger under control, isn't easy.

[IndyOp]

20. Springer is very good with Callers, but I am not good

listening to the Callers -- today there was the idiot guy who listed a bunch of terrorist attacks on 'sovereign US soil', pointing out that there has been a terrorist attack, on average once every two years over the past few decades and that there haven't been any since 9/11. SO * is doing his job just great. Jerry could not make a dent with this guy. I turned off the radio because I couldn't take the callers.

The callers to Majority Report have similar right-wing views, but don't tend to be quite so unbelievably dense as the Springer callers.

:puke:

[patrice]

24. Yeah, that's hard, but it IS informative, to me.

I'm not around some kinds of people very much.

[Serial Mom]

25. Al hates liars ....
