"Meanwhile, Al Franken the author of Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot thinks there's another reason for not trying to ape Rush. "I think the audience isn't there for a liberal Rush," he said on the Donahue show, "Because I think liberals don't want to hear that kind of demagoguery." ..........the very definition of a Liberal." Hehe, good call :)

Al Franken’s Suicide Mission

Sheeesh . . . can't hell pit . . . getting flashes of Alfie all dressed up in a Sewerside Suit . . . that is to say, he ignites the pyrotechnic flares that are strapped around his liberal belly . . . while he squats his bare butt down over the open manhole which conveniently appears in center stage . . . and simultaneously farts in rythm with the Great White band !!! ;-))

Just think . . . some people (um... some idiots) would actually spend money to watch it happen !!!

.

[GeekDejure]

BTW . . . Just in case you don't already know . . . Sewerside Boomers are brainless twits who squat down and fart vigorously into open, uncovered manholes !!! ;-))

Conservative radio is popular not only because it's entertainment -- but also because it's coherent. Liberal orthodoxy can't be justified with reason. It's feel-good, mamby-pamby, big-tent, one-world crap. You can't sustain that kind of delusional psychosis with talk radio. The kind of people that are attracted to such drivel only congregate at flag-burnings and anti-American pep rallies on the Washington Mall. They don't have an attention span that goes much beyond asking, "What about ME? What about MY NEEDS?" And they can't simply resort to cheap theatrics and lampoon conservatives because, frankly, our culture is becoming more conservative every year as the Boomers evolve from the Free Love to Gated Senior Community.

I highly encourage well-intentioned liberals to pour their money down the talk radio rathole. It will only detract from their political contributions and elect more conservatives. I've said it once -- and I'll say it again. Let liberals have their fantasy version of reality (ie. The West Wing, etc). They can formulate any policy they like in Fantasyland. Let Martin Sheen pretend that he's relevant to anything more than a mile of cheap videotape. We'll keep the real world.

Jonah normally does a good job but this piece doesn't hit hard enough. It calls Franken a comic genius and seems to indicate the reason conservative radio works is that we pick on women and minorities (while liberals can't). Rush has the best reason why conservative radio works- the content is unique and entertaining, and that content is liberalism- a ridiculous collection of hopeless and laughable ideas for how to run a society. On a separate matter, every time liberals claim to be more intellectual, just remember that the high school drop-out vote goes net 20 points Democrat. According to CNN Exit polls, the more education you have, the more likely you are to vote Republican.
