Personalities for Gore TV?

[Jackson4Gore]

Gore will have the TV station by the end of the year. Now we must think of who he should have on there. Here is who I have so far:

Franken
Garafolo
Maher (Maybe)
Press
Robbins
Carville
Begala

1. Conason and Van den Heuvel. N/T

[Nevernose]

2. Carville can't have a TV show -- it's be illegal

Vicious dogs must be restrained at all times!

If James Carville were thrown in a pit with six rabid tigers and a hungry T-Rex, my money'd be on Carville.

[Jackson4Gore]

3. LOL, it would be called "Straight talk with James Carville"

4. Curious

If Gore has is own TV station (which I think is a fine idea), do you think that will basically signal that he is not going to run again for the presidency?

I'm not sure that's a negative; getting a solid progressive voice in the media would probably be more positive and have a longer lasting effect than a term or two in the White House. But it is sort of a lateral move.

10. I dont know about that

Gore could run again. If the party calls on him this time, he is there. Either way he is helping the party!

[Unknown Known]

5. Sidney Blumenthal - he can have his own show as well

Paul Krugman :)

[Terwilliger]

6. Phil Donahue!

[madmax]

7. Bill Moyers eom

[proud patriot]

8. Micheal Moore

Whoopi

Robin Williams

We need humor

[BattyDem]

16. In that case ...

They need to get Jon Stewart!

[IranianDemocrat]

32. John Stewert and Al Franken!

.

[eleny]

9. Mike Malloy and Bernie Ward, too

[Lefty48197]

11. Olberman

eom

[mkregel]

12. hmmmm

Bill Moyers
Lieberman and Malloy (imagine the two of them duking it out in a crossfire format)
Boondocks - the show

[proud patriot]

18. Boondocks the show ..I love it

Aaron Mcgruder would be great

[janekat]

23. He's friggin great - Bill Maher had him on

n/t

13. They should call it "Liberal Media Television"

Think of all the free advertizing from freepers we'd get. Everyone would want to see exactly what Liberal Media is saying!

[HootieMcBoob]

25. Oh my god!!

That is so funny :) it's perfect. Ok, people. You're always talking about the liberal media...well...let me show you a little liberal media. Excellent idea.

The Real Liberal Media.

[HootieMcBoob]

26. Tim Robbins?

He gave a great speech to the national press club after the whole baseball hall of fame thing.

[Fixated]

14. Me

I'm an asskicker. ::sigh:: I'll tell you guys when I make it.

[TroubleMan]

15. Randi Rhodes

Dave Stewart and Dave Chapelle

[tsipple]

17. Nancy Skinner

But only if Nancy loses her Illinois Senate bid, which I hope is not the case. (I'm voting for her.)

Mike Malloy would be another choice.

Eric Zorn would be yet another good choice. He's a Chicago Tribune columnist.

Also, I think it ought to be called GNN (Global News Network, although we all know what the G stands for :-)).

[liberalnurse]

19. Lets not forget Wanda Sykes!

She really could compliment the comedy end.

John Daily also should come aboard!

[Gingergal]

20. How about Greg Palast?

Molly Ivins and Jim Hightower for commentary.
Maybe Uncle Walter Cronkite might show up!

[Terwilliger]

21. Wanda Sykes??? I think not...she's a friend of Drew Carey

:puke:

[TroubleMan]

27. Did you see her comedy routine? It was anti-bush

and very funny.

I'm sure most of us have conservative friends. She is not (from what I've seen) a conservative.

You know that Chris Rock ain't a conservative, and she helped write a large portion of his jokes.

[Lisa]

22. did you know ... apparently the original plan for "Earth in the Balance"

... was for it to be a TV show, along the lines of Carl Sagan's immensely successful "Cosmos".

I guess David Suzuki is currently doing something like this now ... actually, he's someone who would likely say yes if approached by Gore. The story I heard was that Suzuki's daughter was at the Rio conference in 1992, doing a presentation as a youth delegate, and Gore (who was part of the US delegation) rushed up and gave her a hug, told her how much he enjoyed her talk and hoped she would keep doing it ...

That was the first I'd heard of Gore, and I thought what he did was pretty cool.

[janekat]

24. Mark Shields, Al Hunt, Morgan Fairchild (very smart), Jim Lehrer

n/t

[grasswire]

28. from what I have been reading...

...the format will be for younger viewers and will be news and documentaries. I doubt very much that this will be the shouting pundit format now used by CNNMSNBCFOX. I doubt that our old warhorses will even be represented. Lehrer, Shields, etc. Probably not even Begala or Carville.

I suspect that some of us might even be disappointed and think this venture will not be the "red meat" network that would thrill us all.

But if I know anything about Al Gore, I know that he is a visionary. His eye is on the future. Ten years, twenty years. And so he intends to influence people who might not be currently political.

This isn't directly meant for us. And it shouldn't be.

[Lindsay]

29. grasswire, you're probably right.

But I vote for Al Sharpton anyway.

[LyndaG]

30. How 'bout...

Bill Clinton, Ann Richards, Mario Cuomo

[foreigncorrespondent]

31. I can't suggest a personality, but...

...I can certainly suggest a brilliant tv show that GNN should pick up and run with on a weekly basis. CNNNN is a brilliantly written political humor show airing weekly here in Australia on the ABC network, and is defenately a must for all political leftists out there.
