THANK YOU Rachael Maddow!

[Gold Metal Flake]

For a great week of radio filling in for Franken. Would that the slot be permanent.

[chalky]

1. Hear, hear!

She has been an excellent replacement substitute for Al during this terrible time.

[DURHAM D]

2. She needs this timeslot permanently - lets start an e-mail

campaign.

[Lex]

3. She really is terrific, isn't she?

I wouldn't have known of her if Franken hadn't been out this week.

[brentspeak]

4. Yeah, she's pretty good

much better alone, too, without Chuck D. and Lynne Winstead (who I think is still trying to sue AirAmerica for some whatever reason.

[Danmel]

5. I've enjoyed listening to her too

I can't stand Springer. I really can't I wish she'd get that time slot back- 5 am is too early for me.

[MamaBear]

6. She is the best.

Clear, intelligent, articulate, agile, kind and concerned.

If she is none of the above, add an excellent actress.

[LeahD]

9. Yes!

[Rosco T.]

7. Remember, Al is planning on running for Senate in '06...

they'll need someone to fill this slot :)

[coffeenap]

8. When Al runs for Senate, this show should be hers (w/ Katherine) nt

[eleny]

10. they would make a terrific team

one high powered and the other more mellow. a good balance of brains, wit and radio sense.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

11. Guess I'll go back to listening to my ipod during that time slot

Franken just bores the vitality out of me

[no_to_war_economy]

12. yes yes! great week of radio

[faithnotgreed]

13. i dont listen to franken anymore but i tuned in for rachel

and would listen anytime she is on (cant make the 5 am time though)

[donco6]

14. I rarely listen to Franken, but I listened to Rachel.

She was good today. Did you hear that whacko who blamed the rest of the world for our not having enough Nat Guard available?

[fudge stripe cookays]

15. Did you hear her hang up on the freeper today?

Brilliant. And explained it away saying that there were so many people waiting on the phone that actually had INTERESTING things to say!

I could have kissed her. Al would have just sat there and tried to reason with the idiot. the more I hear him, the more irritated I get with his constant humoring of the assholes and idiots destroying our country.

I found him humorous on SNL, but Rachel blew his ass out of the water this week. She speaks better, she's more articulate, and I know I'd love to have a beer with her. She sounds like an incredible person.

16. Ordinarily I tune in Thom Hartmann in that time slot,

but I didn't miss any of Rachael. She's a real asset to AAR!
