Franken -- shove that slide whistle up your a**!

[iconoclastNYC]

Thought i'd give him another chance because I heard David Sirota was goign to be on but now he's got that fucking slide whistle on....how many times is he going to do this bit? It sucks! Not funny! Annoying!

Switching to Thom Hartmann now.

1. Thanks for posting

I was shouting at the radio. I do like Al but that was right on top of the last nerve I have which seldom gets used.

[BlueEyedSon]

2. I ALWAYS switch to tom harmann

3. Love Franken.

Hate how he presents himself on the radio.

Does that make any sense?

4. I Just Did the Same Thing

I prefer substance over humor most of the time. Just my preference.

7. That's not even humours tho.

You know....Morning Sedition was almost all humour but it was actually FUNNY.

That slide whistle bit is just annoying. I swear he just does it because someone has told him NOT to do it and he's being stubborn. He has to know how not funny it is. It wasn't even funny the first time!

5. Al's heart is in the right place.

But I'm with you guys. Hartman provides more useful info.

6. I listen to Al because...

...I need to try to keep a sense of humor about all the crap that's going on in the country/world. Al has great guests who do provide valuable information and I like Al's sense of humor and the banter with his staff. Sure, he does many of the same gigs over and over, but so what. I don't know about any of you, but I'm getting wound up way too tightly lately about the state of political affairs and need to keep things in balance.

So flame me, but that's my $.02 worth.

8. You like the slide whistle?

Seriously? :wtf:

9. Spare Us The "Al" Bashing

turn him off for good and spare us please

the man is working hard to expose the BS, lies, corruption from the right. If you've ever been to one of his road show, he suffers from back pain, but still he's out there doing as much as he can for the dems, liberals, progressives....

don't like him, don't listen

[iconoclastNYC]

10. It's the slide whistle!!!!

I don't care about his back pain. He's stupid to do things that annoy his listens. Like f'in slide whistles.

[otohara]

11. How Petty

he can't please you personally - so turn him off and stop bashing the man.

You don't care about others "pain", but a slide-rule - whoa, that's deep!

Ever try working everyday in chronic pain? NO I didn't think so!

[iconoclastNYC]

12. Petty - ok.

Having pain is an excuse for producing a bad product?

He'd have more listeners and more impact and do more good if he'd cut stupid bits like that slide whistle.

[otohara]

13. You Just Don't Get It

his pain has nothing to do with his product.

He could just sit at home and write columns, speak at a college on occasion for a fee, do some comedy writing....But no, he's out there working in pain for his party, his listeners, and this country.

Why don't you write this little rant about the "slide-rule" to his show and we can maybe hear it in the next "hate mail" segment.

and....FYI working in chronic pain does suck - and not that this applies to Franken, but yeah, pain does interfere with work.

14. I like him. The whistle thing is annoying.
