[Mo1]

On Cheers, she played Lilith Crane, the repressed wife of Frasier Crane.

OK ... I didn't know her real name

[NYC Republican]

Al Franken has jumped the shark on the first show.

LOLOL!!! Love that!

[paulat]

She is not. He's been married to someone named Linda (Laura?) for about 28 years. I would call up the NYT profile, but I'm not gonna pay to do it.

[Mo1]

Bebe Nuewirth is his real life wife.

OK .. Now I'm confused on who's who

[A CA Guy]

I'm not bothering to listen,
I'm sure it has all the charm of watching a chicken with it's head just cut off still jumping around!

[NYC Republican]

I called XM radio at 1-800-967-2346. And told the girl I was thinking about dumping XM because I don't wish to send money to XM. She was confused then said "Oh, that's the new channel? We have had some calls about it". I told her they could take the channel and the leftist traitor Al Franken and stick him where the sun shines.

Fabulous! I wish more folks boycotted it. Can't you just join the competitor (Sirius?) - do they have it as one of their channels?

[Dianna]

Asking Kerrey to "testify" about what the Bush's did. Kerrey won't answer that way.

Bush came in determined to re-write, but Condi says we maintained Clinton's policy. (Oh, were they supposed to change everything in 8 months?) Why didn't Bush attack for the Cole?! (Stupid!)

As President, you don't get a time out! You've got to act.

[Mo1]

He's Criticizing Bush now and saying why didn't you do something after the USS Cole

[Conservababe]

Mo, I am laughing so hard. I listened to it for about ten minutes. Al sure is leaning on his little co-host. If she calls in sick, he will be in a pickle.

[DallasMike]

I don't know who Bebe Neuwirth is
 

I think that she's a babe and am sorry, but not surprised, to hear that she's a flaming lib. She is very talented, which is a lot more than I can say for Al Franken.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

A while back someone from an advertising agency posted how this happens ( on radio and cable stations ). Many times advertisers buy "runs" on radio and TV that don't go to a specific show anymore. The station plays the commercials when they want to ( within some contracted time frames ) and many are paying for the time slot, not the show. The Navy may not know their ad is on that show, just that station. It's why you now watch a show on cable and see commercials for other shows on different channels, something they never used to do.

[dogbyte12]

Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things, Bebe is not his wife. His wife though, weirdly enough, who I repeat is not Bebe, is a national spokeswoman for irritable bowel syndrome.

Kelsey btw is a Republican, or at least a supporter of the President.

[BigSkyFreeper]

LOL an hour is all I could handle. I wanted to listen just to see what it sounded like. I'm not listening now, I switched over to Rush Limbaugh (Roger Hedgecock filling in today).

[MattMa]

[Dianna]

That line of argument is so ludicrous! They same people mad over Iraq would have been mad if Bush had attacked Afghanistan for the Cole 2 years after it happened.

[KOZ.]

i've put in almost an hour and a half of this crap.
i'm gonna check out the RL show, and maybe check this out again tomorrow, to see if he got any better :)
not.
have a wonderful day everyone.

[Mo1]

She is very talented, which is a lot more than I can say for Al Franken.

I agree .. and thanks for clearing up my confusion on who was who

[BillF]

Kerry said "I'm getting a voice in my headphones saying 'we're getting the playlist.'"

Female host: "It's the first day of the show."

Franken: "Dammit. OK, take off your headphones."

[sirshackleton]

This is flat-out tedious. I listen to a lot of talk radio (Pacifica include), and I'm not a big Rush listener, but at least Rush knows what he's doing and has some fun (song parodies, etc). They just don't seem to know what to do or say...and if they do, then they're doing a bad job of it. The only thing they really have going for them is that they have a built-in audience...lefties...but I doubt they're going to attract much else out of that.

[BigSkyFreeper]

PSA's in my opinion are nothing but time killers, or "filler".
