6. I'm very aware of Al's incredible career. Are you talking to me or to the
guy who hates him?

17. Franken is the most boring
person on radio. Tapes of him should be sold for insomnia cures

9. Lay off Al!
Edited on Wed Sep-27-06 10:42 PM by ocelot
After he hands Norm Coleman his ass in 2008 he's going to be my Senator, and I'll be damn glad for it.

By the way, he's already managed to raise $800,000.00 for Democratic candidates in the upcoming election.

10. I don't like Al's radio show
But I do like him. His books are wonderful. Insightful, informative, and gut-bustingly funny. Al's done a lot for the progressive community, and I honor him for that.

18. I respect Al, but I really don't care for his AAR show.
I loved his old SLN stuff, but his radio show has never done much for me.

20. I *like* Al on Thursdays and Fridays.
Thursday is Tom Oliphant, who did an absolutely wonderful job filling in for Al (with Christy Harvey). I really love his insights and his stories. He's a real pro.

Friday is Joe Conason, who needs absolutely no introduction here.

21. I like his show; it's very informative,
and doesn't rely on buzz-saw like shrieking and heavy-handed lecturing like certain other AAR programs.

Stephanie Miller rules the airwaves, however.

22. I love Al
he'll make a great Senator. Can you imagine his floor speeches? We'll all be tuned in. I can't wait to hear him in committees.

24. I don't listen to Al to be "entertained" I listen to be
informed. Sometimes information is boring, that's why we live in a world of sound bites. Al sure handed Tony Blankley his ass today:

29. IMHO, his last interview with Colbert...
Edited on Wed Sep-27-06 11:26 PM by Tom Yossarian Joad
He was slow and I remember when he was in the process of ripping O'Reilley new ones.

30. So one off-night in your opinion is enough to call the man unfunny?
I mean, that's fine if you think he's unfunny.

But the more important point is he's very actively involved in our party.

He is on our side. DId you see his Hardball performance? Check out C&L.

Why is there the need to post something like this and start attracting trolls and generate negativity?

I just don't think a lot of us appreciate it so close to the election.

That's why everyone is hammering you.

32. I've thought of Franken as "unfunny" for the last couple of decades...
Yes, he's on "our side," does that mean I have to like him?
