The number of people who might listen to Al Franken are probably the same number that showed up to protest war with Iraq. They guestimated what, 100,000 in attendance? Imagine that, 100,000 total radio listeners.

What I don't get is why "liberal money donors," whoever they are, think that their money is going to get anyone on the air even if they do create a "network." It's still up to each individual radio station in the country to decide what programming to carry, and they're not going to air shows that nobody will listen to!

The only possibility I can think of is that they're going to try to create what amounts to the Liberal Infomercial Network. In other words, they're going to buy a couple of hours of time per day on a bunch of radio stations, by offering more cash than the station could make with a real program in whatever time slots they buy. And that will last about six months before Barbra sees the Arbitrons, throws a tantrum and stops the funding.

Liberals are so used to throwing money at everything, (usually OUR money I might add), that they probably think they can buy their way into our minds. But, what they neglect to realize is that radio is a medium which provides no immediate visuals like television. Radio goes from the ear and then directly to the brain. That short route to the brain engages the act of reasoning, thereby, enabling the individual the ability to spot a lie quicker than Bill Clinton can tell one.

Talk radio will always be ours.

That's the gag! They won't spend their money, they'll find a way to spend YOURS! Liberals always do!
