A Wonketeer writes, point your browser here (link) at noon and you will be able to listen to this crap fest yourself.

Don't do it before noon or you will be subjected to more 1950's music than you can handle.

When you think about it, it totally makes sense : Air America the liberal radio network, will not be broadcasting in the DC metro area.. DC went 70 percent for Gore! They don't need convincing.

We suspect that Air America will blow. Then again, it could suck.

Or perhaps it will achieve some mysterious simultaneous combination of the two. And while we are normally unopposed to mocking things that we have no direct knowledge of, this material seems rich.

For those of you who reside in one of the five areas covered by the Air America 'empire,' please send along your thoughts and comments.

Where is he working out of ? Is He in La la Land or Minnesota?

This is really bad. Al is really biting O'Reilly's show--Bill also has an insipid woman cohost that subtracts, not adds to the show.

This is really bad!!

[freeperfromnj]

now insinuating that Bush will only testify with Cheney there because Bush is too stupid to answer the questions himself.

He didn't even have to do that. The important and serious chairman Kean took care of that yesterday.

[KOZ.]

sounds like an f'n goose, yeah thats a graphic i see when i hear the laugh.

[amordei]

Forget it. This show sucks worse than I thought it would. Even when Rush makes you wince, he has your complete attention.

If I wanted to listen to democrat talking points, I'd turn on the tube.

Out.

[Socratic]

"The only one in the loop was Usama Bin Laden."

Bye-bye folks. This stuff isn't even good! It's not worth commenting upon.

Hey, maybe he'll be -really- funny, and do that greeaaat sketch where he's broadcasting with a satellite dish on his head... I mean, it was almost funny in 1978, and he is STILL using it (just did again on SNL a few weeks ago)... so everybody'll just love it. And it'll translate just great on the radio!

Frankly, the satellite dish on his head bit was the only 3 seconds that Franken was ever funny. I was then subjected to watching lame, unfunny variations of the same sketch for probably another 2 utterly wasted hours of my life, as Franken milked a marginally funny joke unto put-us-out-of-our-freakin'-misery DEATH.

This station won't be any different. It might be funny today, but it'll be the same joke tomorrow... and the day after... and the day after...

I know, I am listening to this piss as we speak.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Everyone was laughing at Al's jokes 30 years ago. This is the same old schtick he's been doing since he left SNL. He's not funny anymore.

[wallcrawlr]

My local MN station is pitching for DONATIONS to support the show and other "alternative" programming.

Its pathetic.

[cyborg]

If this is piss then I hate to find out what Jeanine Garafalo would be!

[areafiftyone]

Jeeze even the DUer are saying it's boring. They would much rather get mad listening to Rush. Check it out.

Kinda boring and slow paced

yeah, I know it's only 15 minutes in, but really, I'm kind of bored. I'm going to give it a couple of weeks, but really, I enjoy being made mad by listening to Rush at lunch.

[BigSkyFreeper]

They bought 4 radio stations and can't afford a phone number.

[TomGuy]

Did that female host just say to call in and tell them where to go?


hahahaha

[threat matrix]

Are there supposed to pledge breaks for commerical radio stations?

[faithincowboys]

They are listening to Justin Timberlake on the FM dial.

[hattend]

Bye-bye folks. This stuff isn't even good! It's not worth commenting upon.

C'mon, keep listening. You knew the job was dangerous when you took it.

Back to Rush...er...Roger.

[Hatteras]

Okay, I listened. Both have the personality of a boiled peanut. Can I stop listening now? Pleeeeease....

[kingu]

*yawn* My computer just dropped the feed, it couldn't stand listening to it anymore. Shame they didn't wait until tomorrow to start so that everyone else could be in on the joke...

The one thing to remember, of course, is that somewhere, it already is April Fool's Day, and I think I'll stop feeding the fool.

[KOZ.]

HEY !!! they just said hi to chicago! hi AL!
hwwaa hwwaa hwwaa (franken and bitch laugh)

[ChuckShick]

I'd rather drag my balls across broken glass than listen to another minute of this crap. Franken. Off.
