There have been plenty of news-sourced articles that discuss the decline of Rush Limbaugh and the enormous exploding success of Air America.....but the success that is touted is non-existant. Even the DUmmies admit that their hero, Al Franken, sucks. He must suck judging by the reviews of his show today:

Al Franken seems to be really struggling on his own. He needs a sidekick to do his job well. This is so sad.

I was thinking the same thing. He may yet find his legs......But I wish he'd get a fireball sidekick....dunno who though.

What happened to what's her name? I stopped listening to Al months ago.

Thom Hartman needs a sidekick too However, his presentation sometimes is a bit too pedantic for my tastes. It almost seems more like going to class rather than listening to the radio. I wish he'd get some kind of sidekick who could loosen up the show a bit.

No He Doesn't Suck. Turn it off if you can't handle day 2 of Al Franken getting used to being by himself.

If I turn him off it's for good.

Al Franken should be the COLOR commentator....And it' shouldn't be his show. I understand they need a big name but the quality of the product is poor. They need to do something. The guest can't carry the show forever......
.
He was interviewing the Honorable (HA!) Sol Wachtler last week.
Somehow they managed to skirt over the good judge's sordid past, and focused instead on how EVIL the Republican Party is.
They were grousing over the insidious "Talibanization" of the United States, i.e. Christians asserting their rights under the "free exercise" clause of the First Amendment.
Like I said, a putz.
He's got this whole snide, condescending attitude as a result of growing in up in some corrupt, backward Dem. backwater in FLA.
So now he gets to scoff at all those stupid "bible-thumpers" who want to stone gay people and feminists.
*eye roll*
He pretends to be a libertarian-because he believes in the 2nd Amendment, and occasionally denounces "El Hefe," unlike the other mindless, doctrinaire leftist zombies-but no one is buying his schtick.
He's just another run-of-the-mill, Bush-hating liberal hack.
If you want to listen to a left wing moonbat that's actually talented, then I suggest you listen to Ron Kuby on 77-WABC.
Al Franken's show on the Providence, R.I., station was "up 325%" before it was cancelled. If you go from 4 listeners to 13 listeners, you have just gone up 325%. Unfortunately for Al, 13 listeners is just not enough to attract any sponsors.
