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.

Y'all should understand that today is their "A" material. All their best stuff.

This is simply bad radio.

"I was just about to tune out when Franken's program crashed my browser. Even Windows has standards..... "

LOL, that is too funny! I'm not bothering to listen. His prior movies were horrible and this is the best supposed talent the Democrats have to offer, so they are in trouble.

As it is, think about it, a comedian is who the Democrats choose to defend and get their stuff out there. Get that? COMEDIANS are the tools democrats choose to go forth and defend them... LOL

[Mo1]

All the conservatives are trying to give Franken a listen.

*L* .. it won't last long

Bob Kerrey is up now

[finnman69]

Except 100 DUmmies does not create a national base for liberal radio. LOL

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".

Was that this year or late last year?

I'm surprized that she would ever go back on Fox after Brian Kilmeade of Fox & Friends verbally destroyed her during an interview in spring of 2003.

Relative to the banner, it was used in San Francisco, but similar banners calling for troops to mutiny have been at "peace" marches here in DC. Also, disgusting, anti-semitic and obscene signs are common along with signs indicating support for some Korean Unification Project (or similar: a front of support for Kim Il Song, North Korean dictator front), Che Guverra signs, and anarchist's flags.

Geez. Even if Franken is inexperienced, they supposedly got him a 'professionals' to work with. They are talking over ads, etc. all over the place.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Radio stations don't make money on PSA's of any sort. Believe me, in radio when I worked, I hardly used PSA's because I wasn't getting paid to play them, and my boss told me not to play too many because they take up air time the station can't profit from.

[Mo1]

Frazier's ex-wife? Wow! Good catch. Wasn't she Bebe Neuwirth?

I don't know who Bebe Neuwirth is

[A CA Guy]

Comedians are the people choosen to get the Democrat message out there. That one alone busts a gut with me.

[Dianna]

Rambles about Kerrey's injury then asks if he's nervous? It's just weird.

Kerrey says we were losing the whole Condi argument. It's not unusual for this Admin to drag it's feet. Withheld money, documents, etc. The commission got a late start.

Good gawd, Mo.
I can't believe you are listening to it.
Strong stomach.

[dogbyte12]

On Cheers, she played Lilith Crane, the repressed wife of Frasier Crane.

[VRWC_minion]

Kerry is almost as boring sounding as Lieberman but not quite as bad as Franken.

[Mo1]

Kerrey says he'll ask the same kind of questions he asked Sandy Burger

[BigSkyFreeper]

Bebe Nuewirth is his real life wife.

I gave up trying to listen. The RealPlayer link from the AirAmerica page kept dropping out, and had nothing but dead air, and I couldn't find most of the other stations, and not all of them (as far as I could tell) have live streaming. So I guess I'll be spared the pain.

[Dianna]

Criticizing Clinton for inaction. Franken mentions the Cole, Kerrey says even before the Cole.

[sirshackleton]

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

Yup...nailed it.

[onyx]

You're listening too?
I am shocked.
