I hope Al Franken gets the job. He will flop within the first six months. Maybe a year but I doubt it. The left uses Franken or should I say uses his big dirty mouth to put down the right but I can't believe that even any of them actually like the guy. IMHO

[suzyq5558]

yep i'll be tuning in....NOT! franken is cretian,foul-mouthed pig who's only audience will be the extreme left party base. I just dont see where this lefty radio gig is going to last very long, how can it?
i dont think leftists spend a lot of time listening to the AM band. besides they sleep intill noon after a night of dope smokin and munchin down on anything they can find in their mom's fridgidare.

along with the occasional peace march or anarchist meeting they just vote for who there told to vote for.
they dont need radio anyhow they have the media and NPR and the media does the bidding of the left,as seen by the non-reporting of the DEM memo's.
but i do hope they throw tons of money into the project before it goes down in a flaming mass of failure.

[suzyq5558]

Just had anthor thought,i live about eight miles from a collage town here in the northwest and we get plenty of lib radio on the underground stations on campus.

i have tuned in for laughs in the past. mainly crazed anarchists types calling for all homeless people to rise up and break windows and pee in the street or some such thing, or insane enviro's shrieking about a slug thats had it habitat crushed under the bootheel of the developer.

no one's listening cept some poor soul who's traveling through, took a wrong exit off the freeway and is hopelessly lost in the maze of one way streets downtown and can't get anything on his radio but the collage stations at three AM.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

So, where're they gonna get a thousand radio stations ?

[PeteFromMontana]

As long as they do not do it on the public dime I couldn't care less.

Having said that, I hope they try to compete honestly. If they do, they will be gone in no time.

[Astronaut]

I hope the smarmy little faggot gets a radio show. It wont last any longer than his sitcom of a few years ago. Rush and Hannity will laugh about it because Franken wont be serious competition for anyone. Franken is a washed up SNL comedy writer from the 1970's with pretensions of being politically astute. Competing with Rush Limbaugh will put this commie worm in his place.

[RedMonqey]

The Drobnys dropped this turkey of an idea because their numbers people told them the demographics aren't there. The only people interested for their proposed radio network(mostly welfare moms, the unemployable) are too addicted to idiotic TV programing like Monte Williams, Jerry Springer, etc.
They get their daily "fix" of victimhood and about "feelings" and whining about the haplessness of life and thru them. After the first thirty minutes of humourless name calling and mindless rantings from Al Franken, their target audience will drift back to lesbian sister catfighting on Springer. After all, how long can you say F@ck Bush" and "It's all Bush's fault" without being redundant?

On the other hand, Rush and other conservative radio personalities get their listeners from ACTUAL WORKING PEOPLE who tune in at work. They talk about real issues and real solutions with humor and good taste. The only possible audience for Franken's droning about public policy are stuck in Lesbian Afro-Centric History class at the local Liberal Arts college. Hardly an demograph with expansive possibilities.

Let Al Gore and the Dems sink their fortunes in this "Titanic" expedition. There's an iceberg out there waiting for them.

The only way alfranken can have a talk show is with the militant use of call screeners. There will be no marketplace of ideas.

Hopefully his agent is smart enough to negotiate a guaranteed payment deal. (and payment up front)

[PJ-Comix]

The Chicago couple have sold the majority of their shares in the corporation they created to launch the project, AnShell Media, to Mr. Walsh.

At least the Drobnys had the sense to bail out when they realized their dopey project is HOPELESS. Maybe the point at which they decided to bail out was when they started actually LISTENING to their designated choice to counter Rush---Ed Schultz. Schultz turned out to be nothing but an empty blowhard. So who is breaking the news now to Ed Schultz that he is OUT before he was even in?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

[geedee]

Al Franken . . . the one embryo that might've made us RIGHT-TO-LIFERS pause if we'd known.

[PJ-Comix]

Ed Schulz. Ed Schultz. ED SCHULTZ!!!

Right now I am laughing about that idiotic blowhard is being DUMPED by the liberals before he even began his talk radio show. Bye, bye Schultz. Looks like you WON'T be leaving Fargo.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

[timydnuc]

Franken is so terribly unfunny and very slow on his feet that I expect that the call screeners will have a pretty tough job keeping him safe from us big, bad, evil conservatives. I expect that there will be a lot of 'hang ups' on this talk show. Now Rush, on the other hand, most always has lefties hang up on him. It's always because Rush is pelting them with the truth so badly that they have a 'psychotic episode' and lock up.

I'm dead on sure that there are FReepers out there, including myself, that are already making plans to give Franken a call, just for 'grins'. But, sadly it would be a futile effort. The commie left doesn't want the truth, just the power OVER the People.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Is this the same goofy guy from saturday Night Live along time ago? Whenever I hear his name I think it is a joke to illustrate how out of control the Dems are. Is he seriously getting airtime as a liberal? Where?

[DEPUTYMAYTAG]

'' centrist with a hint of liberalim'' BULLS--T.

[Destructor]

It's "the Wild-Eyed, Bleeding Heart Liberal Show" with your host Al Franken! Broadcasting live from that corner room of his parent's basement. Al is sitting the prestigious "Lenin the Commie" chair behind the gold-plated microphone...

[TomHarkinIsNotFromIowa]

Al Franken's will be broadcasting from:

[BSunday]

"Hi everybody! Welcome to the Al Franken Is A Big Fat Idiot Show!!!" Also called the No-Brain Zone

[MinuteGal]

My take on this is that it has to do only peripherally with Franken, Schultz or any other potential "celebrity" talk show host. This is a red herring thrown out to keep the public distracted.

I see it as a network temporarily and specifically set up for the purpose of dumping GWB prior to the election. It's a cover......and a place for moneybags liberal/commie investors to tip-toe around the already-porous Campaign Reform Bill. What looks like big money to us is mere peanuts to potential wealthy investors whom I predict will be culled from the ranks of leftist Hollywood, LA and NYC entertainment and big business moguls.

They hate the president and his administration so much that their investment in this network would be viewed by them as a campaign donation to the Dems rather than a solid business investment, although they will cover this aspect up. They know they won't make money on their investment, and they don't care.

I don't think they would care a fig how many main-stream advertisers they get prior or during the duration of the presidential campaign. This is not their mission.

If GWB is re-elected, the network will disappear immediately because the covert mission failed. If he's not re-elected, it will also disappear because the moneybags are not stupid and will not remain after the election pouring cash into a network doomed to failure from a commercial standpoint. Their campaign ploy would have failed and they'll move on.

This proposed network is merely a clever short-term propaganda vehicle designed to fool the masses who will think it's a genuine, long-term business venture.

Forget Franken, Garafalo or any other moronic "talk-show hosts" being talked about. This is a distraction. This proposed leftist network is deadly serious business with a short-term purpose, and the purpose is NOT to provide entertainment or celebrity hosts over the long haul as a true business investment.
