Favorite Air America Show and Host Poll?

[Chicago Democrat]

Poll question: Favorite Air America Show and Host Poll?

OK WHICH AIR AMERICAN SHOW AND HOST (S) are/is your favorite?

[rniel]

1. Alan Colmes???

He actually got a vote?

[JDPriestly]

5. Who is he, anyway?

[thefloyd]

11. You know

I thought Colmes was too soft on Hannity and Colmes but if you listen to his radio show he really is a hard hitter and makes excellent points

[RobertSeattle]

2. Missing Stephanie Miller

Not that I'd vote for her, but she's on various AAR stations as well.

43. Love Steph & Jim Ward!!!!!!!!

I LOVE Jim Ward's voices.:loveya:

[turbo_satan]

3. YOU FORGOT RACHEL MADDOW!!!!

[Chicago Democrat]

9. SOrry put in Liz instead.... I always got them mixed up... Corrected

I hear Rachels voice and I think Liz'a face and its silly! i AM SORRY RACHEL.. i MEANT RACHEL

[JDPriestly]

4. Randi, but I also like Al Franken and Ed Schultz a lot.

Different points of view. I disagree with every one of them on occasion, but I love to hear what they and their guests and callers have to say. I like Mike Malloy, too. Actually, I like all of them. There aren't any I dislike.

[Fox Mulder]

6. Mike Malloy.

[LaPera]

41. The Great Mike Malloy and The Excellent Thom Hartmann!!!

[blondeatlast]

7. Other: Just glad to have a choice at last... nt

[mandyky]

8. My favorite show is no longer on

Unflitered

Now, Rachel is on before I get up.

I rarely listen to AAR right now, but I check the website ocassionally for news.

[damntexdem]

12. I keep my car radio tuned to AAR, but ...

I switch to NPR frequently during the horrible, often disgusting AAR commercials.

[John Q. Citizen]

19. Me too!

[NYCGirl]

15. If you have an MP3 player, iTunes has that morning's Rachel Maddow show

available for download every morning after 7AM. I download it and listen in the evening at the gym.

[scarletlib]

42. I love every show on AAR and thank god it is on the air

I absolutely love Morning Sedition and also Randi , Al and everyone else on the station.

[damntexdem]

10. Yeah Randi is great, and Jerry is good, but there's no question that ...

it's Al Franken and Catherine Lanpher that are best! She is the perfect straight person to Al's bad-boy humor. Yesterday, he gets this deranged-evil look in his eye (it was also shown in the Sundance outtake) and comes out with his shocker, while Catherine sits their with her jaw dropped in disbelief. Perfect!

[Blue Belle]

13. Had to go with Randi...

She's extremely entertaining and always spot on with her research... plus, no one feeds freepers their own ass better. I's also vote for Thom Hartman or Rachel Maddow if they were options.

[Jamison]

16. Me too

She gives it to the freepers pretty good.

[acmejack]

14. Since Thom Hartmann wasn't on there I voted for my 2nd choice!!

I guess he is an AA host now?

[Chicago Democrat]

17. Not really... Part of the new 'syndication entity' for ala carte show

purchase... Not part of the official line up (neither is Colmes or Schultz either)

[Talismom]

18. Malloy rules! Randi is good, but she needs to learn how to

treat her callers with a little more respect!

[LisaM]

20. I voted Randi, but might have voted Stephanie Miller

who is great.

[SharonRB]

35. Me, too

I love Stephanie. I also really like Nancy Skinner, who is on here in Detroit.

[mwb970]

21. Stephanie Miller!

I know it's not on AAR, but her show is my favorite.

[Rude Horner]

23. I like Stephanie Miller too

One of my favorites, because her show is just so damn funny everyday. She starts out my day with laughs, and to me she's like DU on the radio.

[rurallib]

28. I love Steph!! ( raised by republicans!)

Just wait til tomorrow when MIchael Brown gets the "Lying sack of crap" song til we can't take it anymore!
I like Randi second. Love it when Jeanine gets on a tear. She can be outrageous. With Sam Seder, it's a good combo.
On the weekend I look forward to Bobby Kennedy and Sam Palantonio and Laura Flanders. love that 'Ring of Fire' show.

[longship]

29. Stephanie Miller's father

was US Veep candidate in 1964, William Miller. Remember the Goldwater/Miller ticket? That's him.

[Chango]

52. Definitely Stef!

Yes!

[melissinha]

22. Randi, then Morning Sedition

I wake up tot the Sedition and rely upon it every day, but first comes the Goddess.....


I like Mike too, and the Majority Report (Sam is really polishing up). You gotta remember that Sam was all over the whole Ohio coin scandal and Duke Cunningham from the very beginning.

Love Rachel and Laura too. Real troopers.

I can rarely stand to listen to an entire show with Jerry or Al, Jerry is too wishywashy and Al has a huge ego.

[Pirate Smile]

24. You forgot Stephanie Miller - she is on many of the stations like Ed

Schultz.

[Ksec]

25. I like listening to Randi dress these conmen down to blabbering idiots

These repub fools keep callig her show and she keeps reducing them to blabbering fools on the verge of nervous breakdowns.

Its fun to watch!!

[Deep N RedLand]

26. Listen to the Majority Report the most...

...only due to the fact of the time it is on and the time I can best listen to AA on the net.
Though I will admit that I think it's better when Sam Seder is by himself as Jeanene does seem to come off as a little elitist at times and while she may speak the truth, I think it just gives the Right Wing fodder to stereotype liberals.

But Randi Rhodes will always be the goddess...I just wish she was on later so I could listen more.

[longship]

27. Malloy First, Morning Sedition Second.

That's my instant runoff vote.

If I were to take a third, it would be Majority Report with Sam or Janeane (but, not with the both of them).

Other candidates -- Rachel which I catch occasionally (too early). Randi is okay, but I never listen to the whole show. Franken is funny when he's on.

On the weekend, Laura Flanders and Ring of Fire are tied for tops with me. Both are excellent.

Thom Hartmann? Good, but talks about himself all the time. Can't stand that. And charges for downloads. Buh-bye Thom. Lunch with Bernie is a stand-out, though.

[cry baby]

30. Sam Seder is my fave...I like Janeane, too, but seen to enjoy the

show more when it's just Sam.

I like Al, Randi (in short bursts), Malloy...well after having to listen to limpballs and other reicht wingers, I am just so glad to have XM so I can listen to people that make sense. All sound good to me.

[cquik18]

37. Sam and Janeane are good too...

I love it when Janeane gets pissed....she's cute when she says, "You can kiss my FAT ASS!" LOL!

[MamaBear]

31. Mike

I like Mike the best, followed by Rachel, Randi and Marc-n-Mark (all tied for second), Laura Flanders, Majority Report.

Jerry can be okay. I also like the weekend shows with Papantonio and RFK Jr., and Mother Jones News, and Eco Talk. I'm not sure if they are syndicated to all AAR.

They have a bunch of new stuff on weekends here in NY; we'll have to see how they develop.

[Justpat]

32. I love Mike Malloy.

I wish they would move him to an earlier slot.
I loved it when they had him covering for Randi in her slot
a couple of weeks ago. My husband had never heard him and
liked him too.

[cquik18]

33. That kneepad queen Alan Colmes is NOT part of the AAR lineup...

at least not in MY town...check the AAR website, and take his bitch ass off the damn poll...

[cquik18]

36. Randi is my fave....

but Mike "the Crazyman" Malloy is right after her...then Rachel Maddow and Laura Flanders (who are BOTH hot, so what if they're lesbians? I always liked what I couldn't have, LOL! Smart women RULE!)...I also like Morning Sedition, mainly on Fridays when Marc Maron becomes "Mark the Shark"...

[kimpossible]

34. Wake Up Sheeple!

It's Morning Sedition!

[AspenRose]

38. I like Mike Papantonio on "Ring of Fire"

eom

[Chicago Democrat]

39. me too...

he's great

[hogwyld]

40. Randi Rhodes Rocks!

I also like to listen to local legends like Bernie Ward and Ray Taliafaro on KGO.

[nvliberal]

44. Malloy, in tiny doses.

When he goes into his bitching mode, forget it. I shut him off.

KGO's hosts run rings around AAR's.

[volitionx]

45. Here's My Ranking...

I am an Air America fanatic, and have analysed this stuff bigtime:

1. Laura Flanders (because she's the most informed) although where the fuck is her accent from? South Africa? Who knows. When I can't place an accent it drives me nuts. Anyway, she's hot and smart and I agree with her politics.

2. Sam Seder (ALONE) or Janeane (ALONE). Together, they did that annoying crosstalk shit for months before they finally learned not to do that. But alone they're awesome. They've both really gotten the radio format down.

3. Ring of Fire. Papantonio is awesome, as is RFK, Jr., although his poor, raspy voice wears on me. I feel bad for him, but he's got great politics. A bit too mainstream for my tastes, but good.

4. Jerry Springer. He's informed, really intelligent, educated, very humble, and compassionate. He doesn't burn me out like Malloy and Randi do.

5. Ed Schultz. He makes lefties look good, he's fairly well-informed, he's a nice guy. A bit too mainstream, but a good addition to the station.

6. Randi Rhodes. I don't think she's funny. I can't stand her whiny voice. She cuts herself off in mid-sentence, which is VERY annoying. She treats many of her callers like crap and cuts them off whether she agrees with them or not, talking over them. She has a HUGE ego. But I like her politics. She calls Bush a fascist, which I like, and she's on the right track regarding the 9/11 coverup.

Random mentions:

Mike Malloy has GREAT politics, but he's so fucking depressing that I can't stand to listen to him for more than like 10 minutes. It's on right before I go to bed, and I really don't like to end my day with that sort of harsh shit, although I agree with about 99.9% of what he says. It's HOW he expresses himself that I don't like.

Mark and Mark: The white guy is ANNOYING AND NOT FUNNY, the black guy is great.

The Rachel Maddow show is great, but I do get tired of the apparently ENDLESS discussions of gay issues. Yes, lefties support gay rights, in general, now shut up about it and talk about something that truly affects the bulk of Americans, like Bush's Global Corporate Fascism.

[AspenRose]

46. Laura Flanders grew up in England but is an American citizen.

eom

[volitionx]

48. Oh yeah...

Al Franken can be fairly funny, but he also cuts himself off in mid-sentence, which is ANNOYING. His show is very slow-paced and stilted, and he interrupts his callers and guests, even the big-time guests. Just finish a goddamn sentence, man!

His co-host just seems to burst into laughter for no apparent reason, which is also annoying.

And Al's pretty mainstream. But he's a decent guy.

Thom Hartmann is great. He should definitely have his own show on Air America.

[PowerToThePeople]

47. I like em all.

[AspenRose]

49. Here's an FYI about Mike Papantonio

http://levinlaw.com/CM/FirmOverview/FirmOverview140.asp

He looks good for 50!

[Castilleja]

50. Since i can only vote for one, I chose Randi, but.....

Mike malloy is also my big favorite.

[flyarm]

51. MIKE MIKE MIKE MIKE MIKE MIKE MIKE MIKE MIKE MIKE MIKE

in case i haven't made my choice clear.............

mike mike mike mike mike mike mike mike mike mike mike mike mike mike mike mike mike mike mike mike mike mike mike mike mike mike mike mike
