Lying Liar (and fat, bucktoothed moron) Al Franken, displaying a severe case of jumpsuit envy. :)

"I tried to tell him yesterday he can't eat on the air."One of the grossest things imaginable is listening on the phone to someone chewing food on the other end of the line.

This liberal radio network will have a brief burst of near-success, due to hype and curiousity, and then fade.
The reason? Their core audience already has NPR, CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, etc., etc. They don't have any reason to switch to Franken and his group of fellow amateurs.

The next, he might launch into one of his characters, like Liam the Loose- Boweled Leprechaun (don't ask), who is, depending on your stomach, either achingly funny or stunningly juvenile. Hmmm. I'm guessing...the latter?
At a black-tie dinner in Washington last spring, Franken says, Karl Rove ribbed him for standing when the president entered the room. But Rove remembers it differently. Franken, he says, came over to him and said, "I'm Al Franken. I hate you and you hate me." Rove says he was taken aback. "I said, 'I haven't met you. You seem like a nice enough fellow, sorry to disappoint you but I don't hate you'."
Brrr. Self-important and creepy.

But Franken is lost in his thoughts. Understandably. It'd be virgin territory for him, after all.
He says, with total sincerity, that he is thinking about running for the U.S. Senate in Minnesota in 2008 [...] Hillary Clinton has agreed to give him pointers.
Yeah. "Don't end up making the same mistake that Vince Foster did, fat boy." :)

"I'm Al Franken," he says, "and you're listening to 'The O'Franken Factor'Franken can't even introduce his own show without alluding to one of the most popular TV shows.
Franken is much like Kerry.
All that they know how to do, is rebel against the adults in charge. They contribute little to important discussions other than criticism.
On 9/7/03 Prankin' Al Franken said to H. Kurtz---"My letter to Ashcroft was not a lie...it was a prank."

I look at Al Franken, at his face particularly, and am struck by the impression that he might be suffering from profound and untreated bipolar disorder.

...Limbaugh, is one of a handful of liberal celebs with shows on Air America. Comedian Lizz Winstead will host a program with rapper Chuck D. Comedian and actress Janeane Garofalo has her own three-hour slot in the evening. And these nobodies pass for "liberal celebs"? I've never heard of any of them except for Garofalo, and that's only because of her pacifist, anti-war outbursts a year ago.
This has the potential to lose many millions. Sponsers are likely to be hard to come by, aside from socialist outliers like Birkenstock and..., well, I can only think of Ben and Jerry's, but they're part of some multi-national conglomerate now. And you know this will be kept going through the election, no matter how much money it's losing.

If Franken's show is going to be REAL genuine talk radio, I think it may be a great thing -- here's why:
If Franken takes calls from conservative Freeper types who challenge him on issues, and his 'garden-variety' lib audience is listening, it will provide an outlet for "us" to talk to, and slowly win over, "them".
I'll put my money on a well-informed Freeper against Franken any day of the week. Hell, I'll volunteer to be in the first wave.

"Franken, who goes on in the same time slot as Limbaugh, is one of a handful of liberal celebs with shows on Air America. Comedian Lizz Winstead will host a program with rapper Chuck D. Comedian and actress Janeane Garofalo has her own three-hour slot in the evening. The network will go live March 31 in just four marketsNew York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago. Even if the show is a hit, it could be a long time before Franken makes a serious dent in the market."
Oh boy, he is going on in the same time slot as Rush? He will die very quickly. Garofalo will go down just as quick, lots of libs up for radio talk at night during their favorite TV shows. This project is doomed.

Franken is a disgusting and pitiful soul.

Franken's spacious, comfortable apartment on the city's Upper West Side seems much more Minnesota than Manhattan. How's that again? That doesn't even make any sense -- a big apartment in the heart of limousine liberal land is "much more Minnesota than Manhattan"? What a crock!
