NEW YORK (AP) - Al Franken wants you to get up out of your chairs, open your windows, stick your heads out and yell ... fuggedaboutdit? Well, yes.
In the spirit of Paddy Chayefsky's classic movie monologue from "Network," the liberal comedian on Wednesday urged New Yorkers - and other Americans - to simultaneously scream the all-purpose local wisecrack at the moment that President Bush accepts the nomination.
"This is a form of protest that is very non-disruptive," Franken said at a press conference in the Park Avenue office of Air America radio network, where he hosts a talk show.
Franken said the Sept. 2 protest, called the "Great American Shout-Out," will not "tax our public safety system at all."
"This is our way of venting," Franken added. "It will be a catharsis."
Franken said he expected the shouts to last less than five minutes. Out of "respect for the office of the presidency," he asked that participants quiet down once Bush begins speaking so "people can hear him give a bad speech."

I love the smell of self-destructing 'Rats in the morning.
How old is he again?
And Democrats think this is intelligent? If it wasn't so pathetic, it would be funny.
I can't wait until the democrats riot. they cannot help themselves and Mr. and Mrs. America won't like it.
"Has Al Franken ever had an original idea?"
I don't engage in metaphysical speculation but, off-hand, I'd say, "NO!"
You signed up for THAT? I hereby nominate you for most pathetic and least amusing troll of the day!

They may show some footage if they can catch a cop really beating the crap out of a protestor.
In that case, they will remove the first five seconds of the tape where the protestor smashes a bottle over a cop's helmet, and only show the last few seconds where the cop nightsticks him into compliance.
If these traitors riot that will provide the perfect excuse to arrest them and make sure nobody hears what thay have to say!
They're already starting to crawl out of their ratholes this week. They hang out by the Starbucks near Penn Station handing out their "beat Bush" flyers. The commuters just hurry past them -- don't seem to want to give them the time of day.
Al Franken is like a tiny obnoxious puppy-dog forever gnawing at the ankles of great conservatives in the hope of getting someone - anyone- to pay attention to him.
unfortunately the MSM will be hanging out at the jail drooling for a snippet about police brutality and Bush
This is just too damn good.
Al Franken has a talk show?!?!?!
Well, maybe "show" is too extreme.
