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.

Thank you! I think... :)

This one is working for me.

[A CA Guy]

Guess she had very low standards.

[Badeye]

"Kerrey saying the Clarke's interview on 60 minutes was compelling"

Hey, you don't expect Kerry to talk about his voting record, do you?...ROTFL!

[A CA Guy]

So it sounds like the Tom Dashel piece Rush does now and then?

Their next step will be a desperate attempt to save their shows by moving to public radio and getting the public to involuntarily supporting it financially.

[VRWC_minion]

This is flat-out tedious

Cuomo and Hightower were worlds better than this. For liberal information NPR is much more informative, and for entertainment the Garden Show is superior.

[CaptSkip]

Soros better be ready to fund this radio train-wreck for a LONG time. Anyone who buys time on this losing venture is either a fool or a Philanthropic Leftist.

[Mo1]

I thought Kerrey just said the opposite

I suppose I could be wrong and didn't hear it right ... My 3yr old is running around yelling

maybe someone else can clear it up

[sirshackleton]

See, such great radio will put even devoted Dems to sleep.

Yeah, a lot of this stuff they're talking about with Kerrey seems real esoteric and wonkish. This is stuff that requires digestion.

[A CA Guy]

Sounds like it is very unentertaining radio.

Well, it is hard to hide a lack of takent in plain view.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Remember when some stations were throwing in those silly "Stop The Hate" PSAs during Rushes show? I can't remember what exactly happened but it turned out either EIB's contract stated that, no they can't just throw any commercial they want during his show, or EIB added it later. His is one show where the commercials are set, even local.

[A CA Guy]

Make that lack of talent...

[Peter J. Huss]

The co-host sucks.

For this show to make it, Al needs to be funny.

[Mo1]

Hey, you don't expect Kerry to talk about his voting record, do you?...ROTFL!

This is Bob Kerrey .. not John Kerry :0)

[BigSkyFreeper]

Beyond that they mask themselves by saying they're progressive radio. It is a 7 month infomercial for the leftists in this country. I agree, they won't last long after the November election, because after the election, most voters quit paying attention again. They sound like they are in total denial, unwilling to let go of the Floria idiocy, and anything else the rest of the country has moved on from.

[sirshackleton]

For liberal information NPR is much more informative, and for entertainment the Garden Show is superior.

Agreed. It sounds more like an office telephone conversation than a radio show. I absolutely devour Ric Edelman's personal finance show on Saturdays, and that stuff has much more potential to be boring than politics...but Edelman knows what he's doing. This show just doesn't have any identity....it's like "soft talk". They need to get some drops or something. The only thing that makes my ears perk up is when they chuckle at each others jokes....it momentarily ceases the droning.

[A CA Guy]

And rocks bleed!

[Shadowfax]

Anyone want to speculate on how long it will be before "The O'Franken Factor" has its first of several format revamps as it spirals down into the garbage disposal of liberal failures?

[Badeye]

Oh....(emily letila)

"Never mind..."....LOL!

[BigSkyFreeper]

Many shows in syndication are like that. Imus will even throw an on-air fit if a station in Sioux City, IA sticks even one PSA in during a stop set.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Cuomo and Hightower were worlds better than this

Woah! That bad, huh?
