[N. Theknow]

Air America = Excrement In Broadcasting, the liberal EIB network.

[cardinal4]

A veritable whos who of losers...I give the network 6 months. You can get only so much mileage out of Bush bashing.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Getting all the heavy hitters out in a hurry. By next week, they will have run the gambit on their guest list.

[Howlin]

Former Bush administration counter terrorism expert Richard Clarke will be a guest on Friday

Gee, wasn't it this guy who said just this morning

"I just don't want to be used," Clarke told The Associated Press. "I don't want to be part of what looks like a political TV ad. I'm trying hard to make this not a partisan thing but a discussion of how we stop terrorism from happening in the future, keep this on a policy issue. I don't want this to become any more emotional or personal than it has already."

Clarke Asks Anti-Bush Group to Pull TV Ads (MOVEON.argghhh says NO!)

Jitters plague Franken during show's debut

Making excuses already?

Al, me boy...if you ain't ready to party down with the big dogs, you're better off just stayin' on the porch.

[cricket]

Not so easy huh Al? Seems he sounded like a 'big fat idiot'.

[ysoitanly]

Hillary wants to get on early so after it folds in a few weeks, she won't be able 'to recall' being on the show. I wish I could get this station somehow, just once to see how horribly awful it must be. I'm dying to hear it, but can't get it here.

[MCRD]

Wouldn't it be more accurate to call Richard Clarke the former Clinton administration counter terrorism expert, since he was there for 8 years and with the Bush administration about a year before his demotion.

[San Jacinto]

(It is heard locally, and temporarily, on WMNN 1330-AM from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays.)

LOL! You can say the same thing about all the station this crapola is on.

[threat matrix]

Oh my, Shrillary tomorrow?

[kingu]

Man.. That is dedication. Suffering through all three hours of that program just to write a story. I actually feel for the writer.

[TravisBickle]

My guess is that when the show dies, some management person will complain how difficult it is to compete against the subsidized shows on NPR.

And none of their listeners will recognize the irony.

[anniegetyourgun]

ROFL! You are so quick! And Clarke is SOOOOOO transparent!

[ysoitanly]

When I first saw the headline, I thought maybe Ted Kennedy was holding the mike after a long night.....

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

Well, he can have that little guy from North Korea as a guest. That will extend his radio show for about a minute.

[Poohbah]

And none of their listeners will recognize the irony.

Of course they won't. Limousine liberals send their shirts out to a service.

[capt. norm]

"Franken, the “Saturday Night Live” alumus"

Now we find out he is an alumus.

Sounds like a nickname for an aluminum oxide compound.

Or perhaps an aluminum oxide based laxative, since that's what he amounted to on Saturday Night Live. He brought out the excrement in other liberals on the show.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

...Hollywood hobnobber Al Franken...

Typographical error. It should read 'Hollywood knobgobbler'.

[kittymyrib]

Bet it warms the heart of you who subscribe to XM satellite radio to know that your dollars are helping Al Franken's new show. I was thinking of subscribing myself until this happened.
