Attorney General John Ashcroft would not be Attorney General today if Liberal Democrats would not have elected a dead man to the US Senate!

"Yeah, you're right. Sandwich?"

Of course, you have to trust me that Franken's re-telling was hilarious. And I have to trust Franken on what a hoot the actual segment was.

That is why no station manager is going commit professional sucicide by signing up Dead-Air America.

It would sure be nice if we could hear that for ourselves.

Which, when put through the LibSpeakFilter(tm) means: "I have an intellect so much greater than yours, I could really appriciate this program; it should be paid for with money from your pocket, just like NPR, so that everyone will be forced to hear it's hopelessly unpopular views at your expense."

I'd expect this kind of condesention from a woman raised in a home where they re-spell a perfectly normal girl's name as "Elizabethe". They probably just loved the PC "Alamo" movie as well. (Hank Hill would "kick her @$$$", I tell you whut!)

Well, at least Elizabethe Holland thinks Franken is "hilarious". That's one...

"The knee-jerk reaction that liberal talk radio isn't proven is not fact-based," Cohen said. "Liberal talk has never been done in a robust manner."

Liberals are stupid, exhibit #2,445,786,321.

It's never been done, but that doesn't mean it's not proven. Maybe this reasoning is why liberals are so susceptible to junk science.

We've got Rush, Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly - conservatives all.

O'Reilly's a conservative? I'm sure he'll be pleased to hear that.

That skit sounded like a real knee-slapper.

It's funny, even in Boston the libs are limited to one hour at noon, although the liberal/populist/confused Mike Barnicle also gets three hours in the morning on the same station. But the afternoon goes to O'Reilly and Jay Severin (libertarian). Laura Ingraham at night. The AM talk station has a liberal and a conservative in morning drive time, a conservative next, Rush, and then Howie Carr(conservative/populist). Michael Savage does late night.

If liberal talk can't make it in Boston, it can't make it anywhere.

"I've had nothing to apologize for yet," Franken said last week after finishing his 10th show.

How about your entire grandstanding, bullying, drunken life, you POS. And I mean that in a good way...

Welcome to wonderful world of the St Louis Post Dispatch, who hasn't met a liberal it doesn't like yet...durn communist rag.

Of course, if you happen to find the P-D a little too conservative you can always pick up a copy of the secularist Riverfront Times...imagine, Bush-bashing, homosexual personal ads, and furniture restoration tips all in one neat package. I wouldn't even put this filth under my birdcage, it might hurt their delicate conservative sensibilities!

In terms of big-name talk radio in the Gateway City, we don't have many options. We've got Rush, Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly - conservatives all. You'd think that in a large city, we'd mix it up some.

There's no NPR outlet in St. Louis?

If it is a money maker, stations all over the country would be standing in line to get the show on the air. Only the vultures have gathered to dine on the dead carcass

Soros should throw some more money into it. Rats should donate large sums to support it, that is how they react when their favorite public program is floundering. Just dump a larger portion of the public treasury in an attempt to revive the dead.

The problem is, is that they will put your money where their mouth is, but they do not have the gonads to put "Their" money where their mouth is. Hypocrites everyone.

Blessings, Bobo

And a daily feature in which one of Franken's high school friends, an avowed Limbaugh "Dittohead," is confronted with a Rush statement he can't defend.

This complete lack of logic is the trademark of liberals. He wants to use a third person, a supposed high school friend of his (his definition of the word 'friend' is probably anybody who didn't stuff him in a garbage can), whose level of intelligence is unknown, whose level of understanding of Rush's arguments is unknown, and whose true political philosophy is unknown, in order to to try to discredit Rush himself. Franken probably couldn't hold his own for 1 minute with Rush, so he has to use a lesser proxy for his debate in order to have half a chance. Then he'll claim he has "proven" Rush's arguments false.

Franken makes schizophrenic crack addicts look well-grounded in reality.

I heard the Cheney/Scalia skit today.

It wasn't funny.

So this is how Liberal Talk Radio works.
Broadcast over your mammoth 5-station network, then tell everyone over the Internet and in print just how funny it is.

"...trust me, it's funny And a big success!!"

I can get him here. I just tune the radio in to static and pretend.
The only problem is, the static is funnier.

What meanum "we", paleface? You think you own the radio stations?

Anyone who deems Bill O'Reilly a conservative has already disqualified themselves from discussing the topic intelligently.

You don't necessarily have to be a card-carrying member of the ACLU or a hater of mega-conservative Rush Limbaugh to welcome the idea of liberal radio.

Any anti-American group will do.

"O'Franken Factor" is nonexistent in land of Dittoheads

Did the author also write a piece about success of the "O'Reilly Factor"?

Or is the O'Reilly Factor "nonexistent" among the titles of her columns?
