I wish Rachael Maddow had a show in Franken's time slot

[AlCzervik]

Don't get me wrong i like Al but i've been listening to her all week subbing for him and i think she's doing a great job.

[charmsicle]

1. I agree. She rules.

[ronnykmarshall]

2. Me too.

I'm loving Rachael's show.

If Al does indeed run for Senate, I hope Rachael takes over w/ Katherine.

[Mika]

19. I can just hear Al's 2 minute speeches on the floor..

Umm.. uhh.. There are.. umm.. there are.. ahh.. there are many.. umm.. there there there are.. umm.. there are many people who are.. who are.. umm.. lemme lemme say.. umm ahh.. there are many people not making enough.. umm.. there is.. ummm..

Senator's time is up! (Banging of gavel).

[AspenRose]

3. I concur

She's doing a bang-up job. I thought "Unfiltered" was a great show.

[Imagevision]

4. Rachel's on Air America now (12:37)

[AlCzervik]

6. i know, i'm listening but she's only subbing for a week

[K-W]

13. She will be doing majority report next week I think.

Before going back to her early morning slot.

[Oreo]

5. Agreed

He'd be doing mastication theater right now.

or...

Kathryn: There are people dying at the superdome.

Al: OY OY OY!

[tridim]

10. Now, let's check in with our resident dittohead

and get his fucked up opinion of Bush's performance.

[RSchewe]

7. Indeed.

I did not know until recently that she was a Rhodes Scholar. She gets straight to the issues and cuts out all the crap. Hopefully soon she can be given a better spot in the AAR daily schedule, that 5am show is rough.

[AlCzervik]

12. yes, she asks the questions i think many of us would and then she lets

answer. I just really appreciate her style.

[NYCGirl]

8. Rachel will be subbing next week for Janeane and Sam on "Majority Report"

and you can download or podcast her morning show — MP3s are available every morning after 7AM EST.

[K-W]

9. I am a huge Franken fan, and I agree.

I will support Franken as long as he wants to keep doing his radio show, but I cant ignore superior radio talent when I hear it.

[AlCzervik]

14. me too, i run a Franken web site and i still would like to have her

keep that slot.

[dpbrown]

11. Could be prep for when he runs for Senate

Maybe this is also an audition.

[deutsey]

15. Between the two, I'd choose Maddow, too.

[styersc]

16. AMEN.

I love Al, but when the other quarterback is better, it is the first stringer's responsibility to sit down and let the 2nd string in. (My first sports analogy ever!!!!)

[feminazi]

17. she's doing a great job

i can tolerate al, but she's so much better.

[Panda1]

20. She's on a roll

And she's great.

[faithnotgreed]

18. i will definitely kick for rachel - ive listened all week

[Inland]

21. Give her Spinger's time. It was hers first. nt

[Jacklyn75]

22. I wish she would take Al's time slot too!

She's doing a great job!

[DemNoir]

23. We need more Rachel

For all of Franken's good qualities, he is terrible on the radio and Springer is worse.

[Puglover]

24. Totally agree

I can't listen to Springer.

[jane_pippin]

25. Are you hearing this call now? Repub young woman...

"I voted for him twice and I'd vote now to get him out if I could."

Rachel saying we're united right now...Young woman sounds near tears at poor Americans, any Americans being treated this way by our government.

Maybe a teeny tiny bit of good will come out of this.
