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 commission knows how I feel about the panel showing up on the media trashing Bush. I've e-mailed them every time I see or hear one trashing the president.

[InvisibleChurch]

and rush is even taking the rest of the week off.. franken loses big to guest hosts

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

It was Liddy, he and Franken are DC buddies.

Glad you reminded me. Liddy was on that lame Franken show "Lateline" at least once.

[rrrod]

trying to be objective on this...sounds like rambling to me...jumps around with sentences...

[Mo1]

Oh please! This is a lame "lie" The clip went on too long too.

It's the same clip that Moveon.Org has been emailing out to people

[Dianna]

So we're bashing Rummy, Sean, O'Reilly. Is there a topic here? Are we discussing something?

Are there no ideas in this man's head?

[facedown]

He says it is the only way that they won't totally try to shut down free speech via radio in america.

The "Fairness Doctrine"?

[RedMonqey]

aggggg You beat me to the Babs-Annn comparsion!


Damn slow connection!!

[Mo1]

Doesn't anyone find it offensive and out of line that Bob Kerrey is appearing on this show? The Commission calls itself bi-partisan and non-political and yet you have a panel member appearing on a show that is clearly organized and run by Bush-hating gutter rats

Yep ... That's why I can't wait to hear what Kerrey has to say

[governsleastgovernsbest]

The girl co-host, Katherine Lanpher, sounds like the strict, humorless school marm trying to keep Franken under control.

She is such a show-killer that I'm predicting she will be axed soon, to be followed by left-wing internal fighting about "sexism at Air America."

[Mo1]

Are there no ideas in this man's head?

Nope

[FourtySeven]

Well, after 5 minutes of listening, sounds like the same ol tired CRAP they say anywhere else!

[meetoo]

This joke is not gonna make it because it's work, and this lib is going to get tired real fast. He wants the money and the attetnion, but not the work. That's why this won't work - cause he won't work.

Not to mention they are wearing out their list of BIG guests fast. Moore in the first day. Yippy! OK... what's next...

Listent to it for about 2 minutes and it starts to sound just like the Tom Daschle show.. full of dead air and un-pregnant pauses...

Aaah yaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnn

soooo sleeepy.

I think Rush will put a link to the streaming site for this schlep in the sleeping room, but then it might be euthanasia if it didn't only last three hours... of course the rest of the yokels will still kerry on so...
well, i guess i couldn't call it euthanasia, because it wouldn't be painless if it wasn't voluntary.

i'm salivating for it's sure and soon demise.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Well, I lost the stream, just in time, I'm impressed at how this show sucks, it's only proof they won't last a week.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Don't worry, you still get credit for the idea, and half the royalties ;-)

[Interesting Times]

[dogbyte12]

I am going to try to listen for 45 more minutes. US V Poland in soccer comes on then. That is a no brainer for me. Hell this show is a no-brainer so far.

[Wacka]

No theme at all. Keeps jumping from "topic" to topic.
As the Comic Book Guy says "Worst show ever!"

[areafiftyone]

Are there no ideas in this man's head?

This show is going to sink like the Titanic. It is soooo boring!!! The same ole stuff over and over again. It's a shame the libs had to choose Al Franken. What a loser!

[freeperfromnj]

To appear on this venue is truly a new low. Bob Kerrey should be acting at least somewhat statesmanlike. Well, maybe the upside to this will be to expose the 9/11 commission for the circus that it is.
