> Another thing you forget is that conservatives are boring people as a rule...

Rush is convinced that there can't be a Liberal Rush
because his show derives the bulk of its entertainment
factor from the actual behavior of liberals... the
contradictions & hypocrisy (e.g.Lahey on fillibustering
judicial nominees, Daschle on Iraq), and the jaw-dropping
zealotry (.e.g.PETA complaining to Arafat about suicide
donkeys, but not about the deaths of human bombers or
their victims).

Franken is gonna hafta make stuff up, and you just can't
top the truth when it comes to wacky entertainment value.

> Sure you have a Trent Lott now and then...

There's only limited entertainment value in Lott
apologizing for something that didn't need to be
apologized for (unless it did).

The humor in Lott was his post-foible attempts to 'splain himself sort of apologize. A fine example of the "stop digging" analogy. There is also the male cheerleader thing.....Lott has always bothered me for serious reasons. Every time I saw him those little hairs on my neck stood on end. That's not entertainment, that's a natural God given response to a smarmy spineless parasite.

On the upside to Al Franken et al, doing their show is that it will provide endless buckets of coffin nails to seal their own coffins. Unlike e-mail and FBI files, what goes out over the air cannot be burned, shredded, erased, or forgotten. And you don't need an order from Lamberth to find stuff out. Any guest on liberal talk radio had better keep his/her yap shut cause Bill and Hillary will have the tape rolling. The format will be as spontanious and informative as Hillary in a deposition. 14 hours of "I don't know about that Al, but........those old fart rich republicans are the real evil in our society Al......" will not be very funny or entertaining.
