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.

The woman answering the 911 commission phone seemed genuinely interested in my complaints. She said she didn't know why he would be on a show like this. SHe asked me where she coulld listen since it isn't played in Washington DC. I told her I was listening via computer streaming.

She said she would pass on the info but asked that I follow up with an email:

info@9-11commission.gov

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

A little drastic .. but definitely funny.

[auboy]

Frankly, frantic Franken's a fraudulent, fractious freak.

How pitiful that they have to pitch for donations to keep "alternative programming" on the air.

The first segment of the first day of this train wreck in, and they're already having PBS-style beg-athons?

[cyborg]

LOL I didn't even think of that.

[BigSkyFreeper]

That's telling that he won't accept phone calls. Franken is a bleeping joke.

He doesn't want to be challenged in the arena of ideas. He's a lightweight. A wussy.

[VRWC_minion]

The local college middle school radio station sounds more professional.

I still love how Garofalo went ballistic on "Hannity and Colmes" several months ago when Sean mentioned the leftists who had the banner "We Support Our Troops When They Shoot Their Officers". She acted angry like he made it up, not knowing that it had been around the web ( and posted several times here ) for months. She was fuming.

That's telling that he won't accept phone calls. Franken is a bleeping joke.

WIMP!! .. WUSSY!! .. CHICKEN!!

[OXENinFLA]

Whoa, Now he's ripping on LAURA BUSH.........He's going way beyond the pale.

[KOZ.]

exactly,
for some sad reason, i actually thought it might be a threat, but this is waaaaay to sad.

oh happy day!

[Lost Highway]

This sounds like that saturday night live skit spoofing NPR radio. All we need is Alec Baldwin talking about his Schwetty balls.

[dogbyte12]

They are letting callers in the second and third hour.

[cyborg]

WHPC (nassau college) and WRHU (Hofstra) IS TEN TIMES BETTER THAN THIS AMATEUR CRAP! It should be shaddenfreude radio. I almost wish Imhotep Gary Byrd was on :(

[.38sw]

apparently so - I was reply to someone who said that they station he(she?) was listening on was pitching for donations.

[VRWC_minion]

He is going to have Ann Coulter on ?

[retrokitten]

what's he saying about Laura? I'm eating my lunch and can't listen.

[Shadowfax]

As a conservative who wishes Al Franken nothing but ill in his attempts to expound on and popularize his liberal ideology, I am completely happy with this show.

This thing is unspeakably horrible. I'm a former liberal, and I'm trying to put that hat back on a little and try to imagine what it would be like to love Franken and have a radio show that speaks to my views. Even putting forth my best efforts, I cannot imagine any liberal being interested in this nonsense.

[kenth]

Wow, they are just so clueless. They have no ideas other than making lame attempts at attacking the Bush administration. They are hopping all over the board. Typical leftist lack of logic, being unable to keep on track of any one thought for more than a few seconds.
