6. He doesn't deserve that

Al Franken may not appeal to the "extreme Lefties" here but I've been listening to him for a long time and seen him on TV a few times, and I think he'll do just fine. Furthermore, he's done a LOT for "our side" and the snippy comments that quickly show up whenever his name is mentioned on DU are unwarranted and undeserved, IMO.

13. I like Al n/t

[Lusted4]

29. Whats this we shit? n/t

[grasswire]

2. gack

Franken doesn't do well in a quick-moving discussion. I hope he can pivot tonight.

[rsmith6621]

3. Al Needs To Stay Out

Of The Spotlight....he makes us all look like fools...

[kimmerspixelated]

4. What a total BS

thing to say!

[Gabi Hayes]

5. sadly, he's right about that most of the time.....Franken doesn't always

do so well in quick thinking situations.

AND, he's been pretty weak on handlng the Chavez situation

that said, I hope he's got some good, pre-prepped statements with which to pepper his off the cuff ones

[Gabi Hayes]

7. coming up after the break: Al vs. tweety, Barnicle, and.......

Fat Tony Blankley

surprised at the lineup?

[Gabi Hayes]

8. Al is SPANKING the fat boy Blankely quite WONDERFULLY, at

least at the outset

worth watching/taping at 6:44

he's VISIBLY pissed

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

9. quite, indeed

no-neck blankely's ass is going to be red tonight.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

12. Blankey pulled that condescending tone on Al. Big mistake.

Told Al, "Let me explain..." Al got pissed big time. Fireworks folks.

Said it before and I'll say it again, Tweety is sick and tired of kicking his ass kicked by Keith every night and he is trying (trying to generate some scuttlebutt about his lame ass show.

I fully expect Tweety # 1 to be back in the seat tomorrow night back on board with the lying BushCos. Until then, pretty good TV.

[City Lights]

10. Puff Daddy Blankly made an ass of himself

and Al mopped the floor with him.

What a condescending prick! I wanted to reach into the tv and slap the shit out of him. Sitting there smirking and laughing when Al handed him his ass. :mad: :grr:

Go Al! You're doing a hell of a job!

[oasis]

11. Franken is smacking Tony Blankley back into the stone age.

:wow::wow: :wow:

[City Lights]

14. Puff Boy says to Franken - "You used to have a lighter touch"

in response to Al fact checking one of Tony's articles. Tweety groans, "oh yeah."

[oasis]

15. Franken busts Blankley again for misleading Washing Time's readers

and he's using one of Tony's editorials. Tony just sits up there grinning like the cat that ate the canary.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

16. If Fat Tony calls Franken Allen one more time, I'm gonna put

my foot through the TV screen..

What a typical arrogant arsehole Brit scum sucking neocon he is..

I thought he was bad on the McLaughlin Group, but this display of his arrogance even tops those.

[oasis]

17. Franken in classic form. See the replay folks.

[Gabi Hayes]

19. I'd say this was a new, improved Franken. never, ever seen him

more adept, more prepared, more forceful

his having the Blankley editorial at his fingertips and adapting it to a different use than he originally intended was a both a stroke of luck, and excellent evidence of his quick thinking, which I'd questioned earlier (in this thread, I think)

without a doubt, his best, most formidable appearance on any of this sort of show

look for it to be a LONG time before he makes another appearance

hope I'm wrong

[oasis]

20. Franken's last appearance may be in the replay. Soooo kick.

:kick:

[Gabi Hayes]

22. taping begins in nine, make that eight, minutes

don't miss the Gillespie Grilling that precedes it, followed by the Salon author who reported on the N word stuff with Allen

[oasis]

24. kick

[AnnInLa]

18. Al is the reason I am a Progressive

After reading his book, (Liars) I said, this is a bunch of shit, and became active. I will always like Al. If you don't like the way he speaks, then don't listen to him. But, Al gets it.

[cynatnite]

21. That book had a huge impact on me...

before reading it I thought something was wrong with the US. I knew I didn't like bush, but watching corporate media outlets like CNN and MSNBC I felt like I was in the minority on a lot of issues.

When I read the book it was like the sun appeared. I wasn't crazy and I wasn't the only one who felt like I did. It was effing great! After that I soon found DU!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

25. Ya anyone who rags on Al but has never read "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat

Idiot" or "Lies & the Lying Liars who Tell Them" or especially "The Truth (with jokes)" needs to read them and get a clue. Unfortunately Al's delivery is just so so to mediocre on radio but those books are gold, full of good info, well sourced, and funny as all hell.

[Gabi Hayes]

26. don't forget "Why not ME?"

LYAO, promise

he gets elected president, goes crazy, clones himself

[AnnInLa]

35. Exactly my experience! (Really)

Twins?

[immoderate]

23. Al is one of our major weapons.

He converted Arianna Huffington. I think people forget all he's done for us, and more important, he is smart! At one point, before Air America, his was the only progressive voice on mass media.

I'm gonna watch the replay!:bounce:

27. kick

[CatWoman]

28. al is kicking ASS

:wow:

what bug got up his ass??? :)

[tinfoilinfor2005]

30. Maybe the Clinton bug?

Bill taking off the gloves seems to be invigorating and inspiring many fed up dems, and as much as faux and the rest of the msm are trying to turn it into a Dean Scream, it seems to be having the opposite effect. :)

[CatWoman]

31. I'm fucking impressed here

:)

[immoderate]

32. He LOVES catching wing nuts lying.

Loves it!

--IMM

[eleny]

33. Kicking ass and handing it back in tatters

All Tony can do is smirk.

[Nimrod2005]

34. Al did awesome!!! I am so called he called him on his stupid crap...
