You were able to listen for 17 minutes?! I lasted mayBE 10 minutes BEFORE i WAS BORED TO TEARS. It was so sad I had to turn the dial.
I was actually quite offended. Here I was thinking he'd get the hair on the back of my neck to stand up, but all he did was bumble all over the place and bored me to death. it is like watching paint dry. I don't think I could do as bad a job if I tried.
I wonder if Rush left on purpose during Frankens "debut". I am begging for Rush to get back on now. Here I was hoping to have a chaneel to go to when I really wanted soemthing to"go off about". Oh well.
I took a series of deep breaths and while hyperventilated made the decision to listen to Air America for 3 whole days. I can do this because I am currently less than fully mobile with a broken leg. I must report that there were moments of awed hilarity at the chuzpah exhibited by the producers of this dilliness. Randi Rhoades (not a porn star) is the only veteran among them having had a 13 year ocal run in West Palm Beach which is some obscure little burg in Florida which no one ever heard of- wait there was something on the news about the place a couple of years ago, something about a guy named Chad. RR is a real screamer and specializes in invective and mindless harangue. She explicates nothing and tolerates no exlanations. She demonstrated some glaring ignorance when a lefty chick called and suggested that computer voting should be made to lead to instant runoff voting. RR was clueless and thought she was being attacked for her thoughts(?) on the 2000 recount. Her argument against Ashcroft hinges on her claim that he has no physical manhood equipment.
Janeane Garafolololo was just boring. She strives, almost successfully, for a monotone. I could not pay attention to the content of her words because they all droned into each other in a kind of rough hum.
"big Eddie" Schultz strives to be a pompous windbag and specializes in the nasty inside laugh. It substitutes for reasonn. He asserts something absurd and laughs/snorts to support his assertion.
Much of the format of some of the other shows was NPR. Two people speak to each other in a smug of course this is true manner and one has an aural picture of professors in easy chairs in the Club telling each other how it is and how the population is not smart enough to understand. That part about the mental competence of the proles runs throughout the shows. It seems to explain why they do not feel any necessity to back up their assertions- the proles would only be confused. The callers were few and, even though there must have been a hundred freepers feverishly dialing, I heard none. The callers I heard seemed to include mostly Naderites (and Nader) and DU types. I heard absolutely no reason why any non rabid lefty would listen to this. NPR has no competition here and Rush has no competition for any uncommitted seekers.
I did not last the whole 3 days. I turned it off an hour ago.
