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.

This is really worse than I expected.

Listening to these two is not in any way different than listening to two libs in my office chatting their stupidity. They seem to only be able to try to make fun of pubbie statements, but not a shred of logic. Even the skit sucks so bad, no cleverness, no point and wandering around from one obscure "joke" to the next.

I guess any logic that was used would be lost on both the hosts and the lib listeners.

They probably have more conservatives listening now than libs by a ratio of 12 to 1.

pass it around, please

I dunno if I have enough for everybody . . .

This sounds really lame.

Is somebody going to listen to what Kerrey actually says when he comes on the show? I'd like to know that before I call the Commission and scorch the nice receptionist's ear. . . .

[Mo1]

Ben Stein in on the phone now

[coder2]

This is so stupid ----

where's the BARF ALERT ???

[Constantine XIII]

Heh, blonde's definitely not her color. The pic kinda reminds me of that guy on The Lone Gunmen.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I forgot about the Tom Daschle Show parody. My God, now that I've been reminded, it sounds exactly like that!

[Dianna]

It's just chatty. There is a reason that all the talk shows start with topics. It pulls you in.

Why are Liddy and Ben Stein giving him any credibility?

[rebel25]

i listened for a couple of minutes and got 30 seconds of silence, and it was the only tolerable part of the show

[cyborg]

Rush is right :-) They should be advertizing the sleep number bed because listening to Al Franken is the radio equivalent of a tsetse fly.

[BigSkyFreeper]

If Bob Kerrey comes on being neutral about it all, you just know Al is going to goad him.

[N. Theknow]

I forgot about the Tom Daschle Show parody. My God, now that I've been reminded, it sounds exactly like that!

OK. Cue the Kenny G music.

[KOZ.]

dont think we need a barf alert....most have already barfed.

[FourtySeven]

Well, I've given up. Probably for the best anyway.

Enjoy! Maybe ... well hell I don't know how anything interesting could happen on that show.

[coder2]

LOL !!

Franken intended to have Kevorkian on as a guest, but by the time the doctor arrived, it was too late.

[Dianna]

I feel like I am eavesdropping on people I don't know. How DO Rush and Sean make us feel like we are participating, even when we are not?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Question: I am picturing it being like Rush's parody of the "Tom Daschle radio show" is it anything like that?

Nothing like that. If it was like the Dashle show parody, it would have been more interesting. This show is painful to listen to. Thank God that they're not doing it to make money. At least for the staff's sake they have plenty of leftist cash to burn.

Something nice again;

At least Democrats can catch up on their mindless talking points with one stop. That's it, I'm off of this thread as even discussing the show is becoming painful.

[BigSkyFreeper]

It's pathetic. Rush sounds great without calls, Al doesn't. I'd wonder what Rush is like using both sides of his brain just to be unfair.

My 8th grade son's friends are funnier.
