Franken: Lib Network will Take Bush Out

Republican-hating humorist Al Franken promised yesterday that he'll be bashing President Bush relentlessly when the liberal radio network he's headlining gets underway at the end of this month.

"We're going to put it to Bush," Franken told reporters on Wednesday. "Bush is going down in November."

After his radio network - bankrolled by Democratic Party fat cats - supposedly drives Bush from power, the frothing-at-the-mouth funnyman said he plans to "put it to the right-wing media."

In a dig at his nemesis Bill O'Reilly, Franken said he was calling his show "The O'Franken Factor" and promised, "We're going to be baiting him as much as we can."

The Democrat Party's official radio network will also feature Iraq war critic-comedienne Janeane Garofalo, who explained last year that she never protested any of President Clinton's military actions because "it wasn't hip."

Billing itself as "Air America," the network will begin airing the Democratic party line on March 31, hitting the airwaves on New York's WLIB, KBLA in Los Angeles and WNTD in Chicago.

But so far the effort doesn't exactly have radio conservatives quaking in their boots.

"They're hoping - they're praying - that they can take us out," number two national talker Sean Hannity told his audience yesterday, in quotes picked up by the New York Post's John Mainelli. "And [the liberal media] is going to do everything they can to help them."

But Hannity predicted that audiences would soon tire of radio broadcasts that sound too much like bought-and-paid-for party propaganda. "How could I be as intellectually honest as I am on this program -- criticizing Republicans when they're wrong -- if the Republicans funded my show?" he posited.

"Already it's not truth in advertising," GOP consultant Kellyanne Conway told Mainelli, adding, "I guess the name 'hot air radio' is already taken."

Franken et al are not creative enough to do fresh material every day. In 90 days they will have run out of new things to say and then they will be the joke.

Heck, Franken couldn't even come up with an original title for his show!

[I still care]

Yes most of the comedians are liberal, but the elite media never gets to broadcast their monologues on Bush, because they are so busy calling him an #$%&$$&$#$ @ss#^*%.
