Michael Kinsley on O' Franken Factor.

I can't stand this wanna be liberal. I quit watching Crossfire because of him and here he is again playing the liberal. And sticking up for Bush on 9/11..."orgy of hindsight is unfair"

:puke:

1. This guy is so lame...

2. I agree about Kinsley

Kinsley and Colmes are in the same ballpark. LAME!

3. His writing is very sharp

But his "live" presence is the essence of pencil-necked geek.

6. He is.

He wrote the article that Al borrowed heavily from, which dismissed Kerry's flip-flops.

Kinsley is much more of a liberal than Colmes, BUT mainly in writing. In person - on Crossfire, on Al's show - he tones down his rhetoric. There's a lot of politician in him, for some reason.

8. Kinsley is very thoughtful

IOW, he takes a lot of time to thing about things before he says them.

For that reason, I think he plays better in writing than in person. Perhaps Al should have him read his articles on the air? That way Michael would not have to think on the fly so much, and he would sound much more confident, much more like the way he comes across in his writing.

5. He sounds like Don Knotts

Not a criticism, just an observation

9. I don't know

what to make of that. :shrug: You would have to know much more about who was doing the buying and the selling to say whether or not it had something to do with 9/11.
