[N. Theknow]

Air America = Excrement In Broadcasting, the liberal EIB network.

[cardinal4]

A veritable whos who of losers...I give the network 6 months. You can get only so much mileage out of Bush bashing.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Getting all the heavy hitters out in a hurry. By next week, they will have run the gambit on their guest list.

[Howlin]

Former Bush administration counter terrorism expert Richard Clarke will be a guest on Friday

Gee, wasn't it this guy who said just this morning

"I just don't want to be used," Clarke told The Associated Press. "I don't want to be part of what looks like a political TV ad. I'm trying hard to make this not a partisan thing but a discussion of how we stop terrorism from happening in the future, keep this on a policy issue. I don't want this to become any more emotional or personal than it has already."

Clarke Asks Anti-Bush Group to Pull TV Ads (MOVEON.argghhh says NO!)

[Poohbah]

Jitters plague Franken during show's debut

Making excuses already?

Al, me boy...if you ain't ready to party down with the big dogs, you're better off just stayin' on the porch.

[cricket]

Not so easy huh Al? Seems he sounded like a 'big fat idiot'.

[ysoitanly]

Hillary wants to get on early so after it folds in a few weeks, she won't be able 'to recall' being on the show. I wish I could get this station somehow, just once to see how horribly awful it must be. I'm dying to hear it, but can't get it here.

[threat matrix]

Oh my, Shrillary tomorrow?

[kingu]

Man.. That is dedication. Suffering through all three hours of that program just to write a story. I actually feel for the writer.

[capt. norm]

"Franken, the “Saturday Night Live” alumus"

Now we find out he is an alumus.

Sounds like a nickname for an aluminum oxide compound.

Or perhaps an aluminum oxide based laxative, since that's what he amounted to on Saturday Night Live. He brought out the excrement in other liberals on the show.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

...Hollywood hobnobber Al Franken...

Typographical error. It should read 'Hollywood knobgobbler'.

[small voice in the wilderness]

The sooner franken gets a kiss of death phone call from algore the better off he'll be. Oh, he may not admit it at first, but in the long run, it's better to blame it on gore than look in the mirror. If not, within 2 weeks, he'll be interviewing phil donahue for ratings. BWHAHAHAHA!!

[Dolphy]

By the second hour, when former 9/11 Commission member Bob Kerrey came on...

Kerrey is no longer a member?

[Recovering_Democrat]

By the second hour, when former 9/11 Commission member Bob Kerrey came on, Franken found a comfort level, although the interview itself was a slightly more informal version of what you’d get on public radio.

Oh, you mean the bipartisan 9/11 Commission??? What a joke. Bob Kerrey ought to resign from that commission, after going on a blatantly anti-Bush show. What a jerk Kerrey is. And so is Kerry.

[Vision Thing]

...although the interview itself was a slightly more informal version of what you’d get on public radio.

The point being that Air America is Public Radio Version 2.0.

I have no doubt that when Air America finds itself on the verge of bankruptcy, it will continue to follow in Public Radio's footsteps by seeking taxpayer-funded subsidies.

[MamaLucci]

Sen. Hillary Clinton is scheduled for Thursday’s show. Former Bush administration counter terrorism expert Richard Clarke will be a guest on Friday.

Gee, between this and Jesse Jackson getting his own radio show, watch out, Rush! /sarcasm

[Argus]

Franken...was clearly feeling the pressure of being the tent-pole of the much-publicized new network

But a few years honing his skills on a small station in the sticks are beneath him, so what the hell. The leftwing dummy audience isn't interested in professionalism anyway - Franken's juvenile name-calling will do until the plug gets pulled in November.

[NYCVirago]

By the second hour, when former 9/11 Commission member Bob Kerrey came on, Franken found a comfort level, although the interview itself was a slightly more informal version of what you’d get on public radio.

Former? Kerrey's still on the commission!

[Cinnamon Girl]

excerpt from Frankenfraude's Hot Air America debut:

"So, um, the guy's an idiot. He's a total dumbass, rearend talking, stupid, frat boy. Right? I mean, what a total idiot... The guy's just dumb. What a stupid idiot. Who could vote for this guy? How dumb is this guy? This guy is so dumb... he's the biggest idiot in the world. And he's a liar. Check your facts, Republicans. I've just given you tons of solid reasons why George Bush's record stinks... How can anyone argue with that?"

[APFel]

I listened to about ten minutes of it here on the local Minneapolis station. The segment I heard was a bit where they had "Ann Coulter" (a voice impersonator, duh) locked in a room and was upset about being unable to get out. She then spouts some racist stuff about the guy who locked her in there.

About as funny as removing a contact lens with a power drill.
