This is why crap like this usually only makes it over the airwaves through listener donations, like Pacifica Radio.

Caller: Is your refrigerator running?...

[uncitizen]

When this liberal talk radio does so poorly that they have no choice but to pull it off the air, will the media make a big humungous deal out of it and announce it every hour on the hour.

[My2Cents]

Does Err America Radio have a website? I think that would be a great email to them: "Al Franken, Saturday Night Live anus..."

[Cuttnhorse]

Sounds like goofy Al's show has little hope of going anywhere. Watching this thing die a sloooow agonizing death will be great sport.

[Tribune7]

It's sounds like a show that might have peaked in its first hour

[Adam36]

Pacifica Radio is the most radical station ever.
There located in a good area on the dial in NY. I wish they would sell that radio station.

"animus"

I think both Sirius Black And Rita Skeeter were animuses ;)

[jaycee]

My, my. What an intellectual conversion~~~~~~~Just don't think I can understand this high-powered talk. Ughhhhh!

[YankeeReb]

BWAAHAHAHA .... Al Frankin is a Big Fat Idiot... Remember how they said once Rush no longer had Clinton in office to bash, his show would go off the air. Well it's almost 4 years poct Clinton and Rush has over 600 stations. Lets see where Frankin will be a year from now. He was lame on SNL, and he's even worse doing political commentary.

[Incorrigible]

All traitors, all the time.

I remember when he came out of the closet on a first year episode of Saturday Night Live with Tom Davis. Memorable line by Tom Davis's kid when he hears the news, "I hate you daddy, I hate you!"

[lawdude]

Wasn't jitters. It was a display of a complete lack of talent, skill and class.

[mabelkitty]

They'll find out real quick what market forces really are.
I heard from libs that he sucked major.

[Mr. K]

6 months? I dont give it that many WEEKs

[reg45]

It's sounds like a show that might have peaked in its first hour millisecond.

[hershey]

How long will Air America be broadcasting? Hmm. Probably gone by the end of the year. Franken will get upset and opt out when he realizes nobody's listening.

[Don Corleone]

Hopefully no one but McCain will appear from the Pubbie side.

Did McLaim switch to the Republican side? When? Inquireing minds want to know.

[RandallFlagg]

OK, just curious. WHo heard the show? I didn't even know it was starting this week. Is there a website that shows the local station(s)?

The reason I'm asking is because I've been itching to take a few bites outta Flunkin. It'd be fitting to do it on his own show....

And I haven't had any broiled liberal meat all month. I've been a good boy and I think I deserve it.
