Thanks for posting this. I'm just ROTFLMAO ... I give the buck toothed "erudite" 6 months before the plug gets pulled.

[hapy]

yawn yawn

is it time for work yet?

[Quilla]

I hope the incorporate a 30 second delay into the program. They're going to need it to bleep out all the John F****** Kerry's.

"...and in other news, Pee-Wee Herman announced that he'll be fighting a 'cage-match' against The Rock. A schedule for the bout has not been set."

This will be more fun than a barrel of Ebola infected monkeys can't wait to hear this

[Vision]

Good luck to Franken

Anybody else think it's strange his book outsold O'Reilly's?

[FreedomPoster]

This scheme is as airworthy as a lead balloon.

I'm *so* glad to see Liberals wasting their money on this.

"Dead-air" Franken. I wonder how much of a discount the advertisers are getting to be associated with this show?

[Petronski]

The radio industry equivalent of walking into a helicopter rotor. LOL

[T'wit]

>> Putting Franken in the midday time slot of noon to 3 p.m. Eastern time is a direct challenge to Limbaugh, whose hugely successful show occupies the same time slot.

"Challenge"?? Do those fruitcakes think that Limbaugh listeners are going to SWITCH? Hahahaha!

[ErnBatavia]

his rival Rush Limbaugh, which Franken described as "non-guested confrontation."

Actually, in this instance Franken is spot on - Rush does not do well at all in a one-on-one debate.

[Sunshine Sister]

I don't even give him 6 months. He'll flop immediately because he has nothing to say!

[Hodar]

Anybody else think it's strange his book outsold O'Reilly's?

Yes, I do find that strange. However, at Costco I saw piles of Franken's book for under $12, while O'Rielly's book was still at it's regular price ($~18).

[bushfamfan]

Sure, he says he'll take calls from opposition. He'll have the 'callers' planted because there's no way he can withstand a debate from a conservative. The man is full of lies and humorless.

It will be fun watching the Frankenstein Retard crash and burn on national radio.

[polemikos]

I always thought of Franken as one of the unfunny second-tier crew on SNL.
He looks funny, but that was about it.
He may very well "alter the political landscape" but I wouldn't be surprised
if it is in ways the Left can't fathom.

[hobbes1]

In an interview, Franken said the format of the show was still evolving, but he said

"When you've gone over something as many times as I have, certain questions get answered....Others spring up....Your mind plays tricks on you....YOU PLAY TRICKS BACK.....it's like unravelling a big cable knit sweater that someone keeps knitting......and knitting......and knitting......and knitting......and knitting......and knitting...and...."

His Rival, Rush Limbaugh????? PUHLEEZE.......

[TSgt]

I'm sure his show will be nothing more than an orgy of comedy and emotion with very little substance.

Only those with an intellect that of a Sasquatch will tune in.
