YAWN!!!

He'll invite fellow libs on his show and they'll have a group whine-fest for three hours.

I give this charade six months before it's terminal.

"I'm Al Franken. I'm here to present the funniest ad award. I'm a last-minute substitution, former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill was supposed to be the presenter, but unfortunately he was murdered."

I heard that the little creep said that last night. If that's his idea of humor, I don't think he'll last very long.
On the bright side, he does have a face for radio.

The NEA will find a way to broadcast it live into our nation's classrooms.

As a liberal-leaner, I'm concerned about this. I've seen a lot of interviews with Franken, and while I find him an effective writer, he's not a very charismatic presence. He tends to come off coarse and dismissive. It'll hurt the cause.

They'd be much better off with Jon Stewart (or any of the other folks from the Daily Show.)

Franken said his letter to Ashcroft requesting information about his practicing celibacy was just a prank, not a lie.

I say the new show should be named

The Prankin' Al Franken Show

Yawn, er, Hollywood Leftist Ping!!!

Please FReepmail me if you want on /off this ping list.

Wonder who will listen?

The trolls that grace us with their presence and give us something to ZOT.

[sgtbono2002]

3 hours of Franken would gag a maggot.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

If he thinks he's got a legitimate shot at Rush, or even Bill O'Reilly (who also goes head to head with Rush), he's got another thing coming. Rush may take his call just to humor him, though.

"I've been thinking about what's the best use of my energies - I hope this is it."

So do I, Al. Venting your bowels for the pleasure of a couple dozen leftists straining to inhale your wisdom sounds like a fine use of your intellect and energies. However, if for some unforseeable reason the poor lad's radio gig doesn't work out, the next best use of Franken's energies might be to plunge his head into an industrial blender operating on the 'liquify' setting. Well, at least that's something I wouldn't mind listening to.

[soycd]

I'll listen...AND call in and come off as snide, condescending and dismissive a liberal as I can be :-)

[NormsRevenge]

...about 65 percent of the network's programming has been decided, but he declined to elaborate beyond disclosing another new show to be co-hosted by the environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called "Champions of Justice."

LOL

[Bullish]

The guy isn't even slightly interesting or funny.

And that's somehow going to make a successful radio show?

I think not.

[caisson71]

If Franken talks himself to death and there is noone to listen, will he be gone forever?

[Oh Boy, Wonder Who Will Listen..]

What? What? You wanna turn the FR site into a sexual discrimination hellhole ???

Change headline: [Oh Boy, Oh Girl, Wonder Who Will Listen..] ;-))

WNTD Chicago is a Spanish language station ranked in the bottom 3 of ratings. They're definitely hurting if they can't find a better station in the market.

[Cubs Fan]

Just wondering, has there ever been a syndicated liberal show that lasted over 6 months?
