Although the DUmmie anger over the FIRING of Mike Malloy was directed towards Air America Radio yesterday, a lot of their criticism is now starting to find a new target---Al Franken. As we have SEEN, the DUmmies were already less than enthusiastic about Al Franken. However, with the firing of Malloy, the DUmmies are peeved that Air America is continuing to pay MILLIONS to Al Franken for a show that most of them consider boring. The spark that set off the anti-Franken DUmmie diatribes was this THREAD titled, "If it was Randi Rhodes or Al Franken instead of Mike Malloy..." So let us now watch the DUmmie outrage over Malloy being fired instead of Al Franken in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, thanking Al Franken for easing my way into afternoon naps, is in the [brackets]:
If it was Randi Rhodes or Al Franken instead of Mike Malloy...
[Hardly anybody would notice...]
I have the feeling we'd see the same level of outrage. Malloy was one of the original guard on AAR and has his legions of Truthseekers, and he will be sorely missed.
[There might be some outrage over Randi leaving but there would be celebrations if Al Franken's incredibly BORING show was taken off the air.]
Randi definitely. I don't think Al has the passionate fans that Mike and Randi have
[That's because Al's fans are sleeping through his banal monologues.]
But should Al leave AAR, I don't think his fans would be throwing themselves out of windows, if that's what you mean.
[Al's fans will just switch over to strong sleeping pills.]
AL is too bland and says little when you really think about it.
[I never stayed awake long enough to think about it.]
Nothing against Al. I know he is well liked and respected. I don't listen to his show, but I bought Liars and enjoyed it. But to alot of angry progressive's Mike was screaming what we all want to scream sometimes. I listened to him everyday during work, would download his show to my Ipod with AAR premium. I will miss him and Kathy very much. Every morning I download Mike, Randi and Sam, but Mike was the only one I looked forward to hearing what he had to say.
[Why don't you listen to Al? Afraid of causing a traffic accident when you fall asleep while driving your car?]
I don't listen to Al and if he left or got canned I wouldn't care - he is way to middle of the road for me.....a lot of which is most likely due to his potential run for Senate - but for whatever reason I'm not a fan....
[A DUmmie who realizes that Al Franken is using Air America STRICTLY for his planned Senate run.]
If it was Al Franken it'd be on NBC news and on CNN and Faux.
[And treated like a major tragedy even though few can actually stay awake to listen to his show.]
Randi's canning would draw outrage ... maybe more so than Malloy. Franken's would largely draw sighs of relief at DU. He's a milquetoast, mealy-mouthed middle-of-the-roader who's too willing to overlook Israeli war crimes.
[Great support there for Franken.]
Ditto that, Charles. Now they're just tiresome.
I used to listen to him on WLS strickly for comic relief. He was/is completely out of his mind and a total looney toon. He would never complete his thoughts. One of his favorite sayings was "the flying monkey right", I still don't know what the hell he was talking about.
I guess he was obsessed with the Wizard of Oz.
too willing to overlook Israeli war crimes
In short, the Left's problem with Franken is that he's a JOOOOOOOO.
Freaks
I've never heard the network but I thought Randi Rhodes had left some time ago. Not as a result of her 2004 on air death threat against President Bush but within a year of that event.
Wait'll the hardcore left starts calling Michael Moore, Howie Dean, and Ward Churchhill as "right of center"...
And doggone it, people like me.
Needless to say, having Malloy on your station has translated into lower ratings everywhere he has gone. Having Malloy on WSB earned that station the nick - We're Such Buttheads. Thank God for WDUN, WGST, and WGKA.
Didn't Malloy go head to head with Limbaugh and get his @ss handed to him?
Those were the days at WGST. Until that gawdawful Planet Radio thing that Nancy Haystack came up with.
...what you guys said.
Of course, WSB has a great lineup now: Boortz, Clark Howard, Hannity, Savage, Chris Krock...
Thank God that idiotic Planet Radio thing is gone from WGST. Denny Schaffer (sp?) in the morning is decent. And Rush is still on from noon-3 pm...that is, unless they preempt him for an afternoon Braves game.
please put me on your ping list..those guys are a cheap form of outstanding humor..
he was on when boortz had an afternoon show immediately afterwards..boortz used to call him "speedo" for some reason..
