Poll question: Al Franken's as entertaining as...

[babylonsister]

1. Another example of Dems beating on Dems. nt

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

3. That's what makes us Dems...

We can dis our own as well as the others. And that's OK IMHO. :toast:

[NYCGirl]

2. This is your second anti-Al thread. You have a problem. NT

[maxfisher]

4. you must not be very familiar with al's career.

[NYCGirl]

6. I'm very aware of Al's incredible career. Are you talking to me or to the

guy who hates him?

[Ameritopia]

17. Franken is the most boring

person on radio. Tapes of him should be sold for insomnia cures

[NYCGirl]

19. Well, then don't listen to him. There — your problem is solved. NT

[babylonsister]

23. So who do YOU listen to? Please enlighten us all! nt

[Ameritopia]

[cboy4]

[IChing]

5. As you are?

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

12. I only wish I had his publicity....

LOL

[IChing]

13. Actually he is better than you or your choice of topics.

sorry, raise money for the election like he can.
or help start a radio station.

also you have been treating GD like the lounge lately.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

15. Actually, you have in resorting to persnal attacks...

But that's okay.., It's you, so it's appropriate.

7. Tom Davis.

8. This poll is not a poll and it's vile. I suggest self-deleting it..

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. Lay off Al!

After he hands Norm Coleman his ass in 2008 he's going to be my Senator, and I'll be damn glad for it.

By the way, he's already managed to raise $800,000.00 for Democratic candidates in the upcoming election.

[BuyingThyme]

14. Yes.

[Downtown Hound]

10. I don't like Al's radio show

But I do like him. His books are wonderful. Insightful, informative, and gut-bustingly funny. Al's done a lot for the progressive community, and I honor him for that.

[ComerPerro]

11. Fantastic writer, total bore

[The_Casual_Observer]

16. Never seeing another one of these merit-less posts.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

26. Thanks for bumping it!

[Union Thug]

18. I respect Al, but I really don't care for his AAR show.

I loved his old SLN stuff, but his radio show has never done much for me.

[longship]

20. I *like* Al on Thursdays and Fridays.

Thursday is Tom Oliphant, who did an absolutely wonderful job filling in for Al (with Christy Harvey). I really love his insights and his stories. He's a real pro.

Friday is Joe Conason, who needs absolutely no introduction here.

[Phredicles]

21. I like his show; it's very informative,

and doesn't rely on buzz-saw like shrieking and heavy-handed lecturing like certain other AAR programs.

Stephanie Miller rules the airwaves, however.

[benddem]

22. I love Al

he'll make a great Senator. Can you imagine his floor speeches? We'll all be tuned in. I can't wait to hear him in committees.

[walldude]

24. I don't listen to Al to be "entertained" I listen to be

informed. Sometimes information is boring, that's why we live in a world of sound bites. Al sure handed Tony Blankley his ass today:

25. What did Al do all of a sudden for you to post this unfunny poll?

Unbelievable.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

29. IMHO, his last interview with Colbert...

He was slow and I remember when he was in the process of ripping O'Reilley new ones.

[cboy4]

30. So one off-night in your opinion is enough to call the man unfunny?

I mean, that's fine if you think he's unfunny.

But the more important point is he's very actively involved in our party.

He is on our side. DId you see his Hardball performance? Check out C&L.

Why is there the need to post something like this and start attracting trolls and generate negativity?

I just don't think a lot of us appreciate it so close to the election.

That's why everyone is hammering you.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

32. I've thought of Franken as "unfunny" for the last couple of decades...

Yes, he's on "our side," does that mean I have to like him?

[eleny]

27. ...he needs to be for a political show

[madrchsod]

31. i`ve never thought he was really all that funny

and politically, whatever..

[Swamp Rat]

33. Hooray for Mike Malloy!!!
