What in the world was that on Franken?

[AspenRose]

A Katrina sex line? I have the 7 month old I'm trying to keep up with so I only heard part of that!

[NYCGirl]

1. Al was suggesting that the toll-free line set up for the evacuees should

have been 1-877-KATRINA, but it seems there's already such a number — to a sex line with a girl named Katrina!

[ronnykmarshall]

2. That's a crack up.

That Katrina's gonna be busy today!

[stellanoir]

4. That was the funniest

thing I've heard on Franken in eons or perhaps ever. His impishness was really hysterical.

[AspenRose]

3. He's ON HOLD for the "sexy" Katrina?!?

my gosh

[AspenRose]

5. Katrina's on!

Franken's talking to the phone sex worker.....this ought to be good

[NYCGirl]

6. "If we hook you up with the Federal Government"....LOL!!!

She's from Louisiana.

[LincolnMcGrath]

7. RW Phone Whore!

:mad:

[NYCGirl]

8. How do you know she's a right winger? I'd bet that most sex workers are

Democrats, because they aren't hung up about sex.

[LincolnMcGrath]

10. Just Listen

[K-W]

12. Because of the things she is saying.

The Katrina victims already have enough help because they got debit cards and used them on designer bags.

[AspenRose]

9. Yep

"'Those' folks have more than I do" (referring to victims)

The hurricane victims are wearing designer clothes and the hurricane was overblown, and SHE knows because SHE's in Louisiana....

[NYCGirl]

13. Yeah, I just heard that. She's not too bright. NT

[LincolnMcGrath]

14. Designer Purses!

Disaster BLOWN OUT OF PROPORTION!

[Cleita]

11. OMG. She's a **tch.

Says the Katrina victims got $2000 and they spent it on designer bags and clothes.

[SoCalDem]

15. Just the modernization of the "fur coated-welfare queen in her caddy"

:puke:

[AspenRose]

16. Boy, THAT was a very revealing segment

I don't know for sure but she sounded white. If she was, there's an example of how the GOP has placed a wedge between black poor and white poor.

[LincolnMcGrath]

18. She was a perfect example of "A red state

state of mind"

[eleny]

17. I wish he asked her what she thought of W's speech last night

[eissa]

19. I can't believe what I just heard!

Blown out of proportion?! Victims spending their money on designer clothes?! In the words of Dan Akroyd, what an ignorant slut!!

[demgrrrll]

20. The masks are really dropping all around me. Bushites are not even

trying to maintain a mask of concern or compassion. Angry Angry people. I read that the designer purses they are talking about were the knock offs that were confiscated from the federal or local busts where these items were sold. BFD. I will say this, Rove and the gang were far more aware than I was of the bubbling undercurrent of rage and hate that they could tap into to bind people to *. I am stunned by what I am hearing around town.

[Cleita]

22. This is why we are stuck with them.

It was the racism, of a large portion of the American white population and the homophobia and misogynism of not only white but other ethnicities of males, that brought us George W. Bush. It was fed by the RW radio talk show hosts, like Rush, Sean and Bill whose lies they wanted to listen to because they told them what they wanted to hear.

We as a nation really need to look at our bigotry and prejudices to change the direction we are heading in.

[demgrrrll]

23. I couldn't agree more. I will also add that in the past many people

who held those views kept them to themselves rather than offend others. Bush and the RW media cabal have given them the opportunity and permission to be who they are. I wasn't aware of how much hate there was in this country until this Hurricane struck. I know you must think I am naive but it is like all manner of bugs have crawled out from under their rocks into the sunlight.

[AspenRose]

24. Both you and Cleita are right

Preying on the fears and prejudices of a nation....fuelled by greed....

[FreedomAngel82]

25. And can you believe

they call us the "angry left"? :eyes: Sure, we're angry but we're not angry at people because they're poor. Ugh. This is all disgusting.

[AspenRose]

21. Discussing it with Conason now....

...they seem to be glossing over the racist undertone of the phone call....
