Al Franken is smacking down Neal Boortz with sound clips and commentary!

re: Boortz's McKinney insults.

"I know this guy. He's the third funniest guy at a fraternity."

edit: Boortz is from my state (unfortuantely) and he is a disgusting excuse for a human being.
I'm NOT defending or arguing against McKinney here but Boortz'z racist comments were uncalled for IMHO.

1. NICE! nt

[CottonBear]

3. Al's interviewing David Brock of Media Matters who busted Boortz!

Boortz, at first, derided Media Matters before "apologizing" a few days later.

2. Franken's giving commentary on why it's such GOOD COMEDY.

Deflating that asshole with how saying "shitzu" is always, always good comedy.

4. Al does that so well, doesn't he?

His comedic timing and ability to skewer fools like Boortz is brilliant!

5. Boortz made the comment last week that anyone

who sends their child to a public school is guilty of child abuse. How the Hell can you even debate someone with that mindset?

[CottonBear]

6. You can't. He calls all primary and seconday schools "gov't schools"

but it is ironic that he does not refer to public colleges and universities that way.

Boortz is a faux Libertarian asshat. His only marginally redeeming characteristic is that he refuses to discuss abortion on his show. I get the feeling he is pro-choice but his GOP/corporate masters will not let him discuss such a viewpoint. His co-host, Royal Marshall, should be ashamed to be associated with Boortz but he's not. Marshall is a Republican, Hummer driving black Southerner.

edit: Boortz is carried on not just one but two AM radio stations that broadcast in my town. :puke:
Air Atlanta does't come in the morning in my area so I've begun listening to Colin Cowherd (sp?) on the sports talk radio in the morning on my way to work.
