Ben Stein coming up on Al Franken

[CatWoman]

why, I don't know :shrug:

[Connie_Corleone]

1. I don't know why either.

If I want to listen to a bunch of crap, I'll turn on Rush or Hannity.

[terrya]

2. He's plugging his Coulteresque book.

Let's find out what Al has to say. :-)

[SaveElmer]

3. I loved his game show...

And he is funny in the movies he's been in...but I don't really want to hear him on AAR.

[CatWoman]

5. I liked his show too

but it went swiftly downhill after Jimmy Kimmel left.

[Melodybe]

4. Yuck, I hate Ben Stein, he is so disgusting.

:puke:

I guess the repubs have to parade the only person in their entire party with half a brain. I hated Win Ben Stein's Money, Ben is such a sexist asshole, I hope his spot in hell is extra hot.

[Shopaholic]

6. But why is Al even giving him air time unless it's to do to him

what he did to John Stossels a few weeks back.

[Fenris]

7. You mean Douchey McDouchebag?

Time for some more lies about Nixon! HOORAH! :D

[terrya]

8. Oh...Ben Stein was a speechwriter for Nixon. I forgot.

That's one reason why he's on.

[Khephra]

9. The reason?

He's an ex-Nixon worker.

I liked him until he flipped Huffington the bird during a debate.

[Fenris]

10. That was a classy moment.

King of the Douchebags, that one.:D

[Khephra]

I used to think he was at least a "mannered Republican"

That moment shattered that illusion.

[indepat]

11. Hopefully Al with crucify that Cheneying A-hole

[Richardo]

12. Franken and Stein are friends...

...or at least they were when "Rush Limbaugh is a big fat etc etc" came out.


I'm sure he's going to ask Ben whether he REALLY thinks liberals hate America, which is what he asserts in his new book.

[enki23]

13. and my feed has been silenced in protest

ben stein doesn't need the publicity. my blood pressure doesn't need the increase.

[TrustingDog]

14. sounds like Stein jammed out.

[TrustingDog]

17. wrong, he is on... sorry - multitasking here. :)

[madfloridian]

15. Turned it off.

The right wing gets enough air time without our sharing our precious moments with them.

[in_cog_ni_to]

16. YUCK!

Mute time! :puke:

[Mandate My Ass]

18. Ben says he's a rabid environmentalist

Doesn't think Bush* has done anything much to harm the environment.

Franken is countering him with mining and timber industries going onto public lands...

Ben says he'll vote for Nader if he's on the ballot.

[CatWoman]

19. OMG

Stein plans to vote for Ralph!!!!

[ret5hd]

20. no, he's trying to convince those that listen to his tripe...

to vote for ralph. he is a shill, just as the repugs signing nader's petitions are shills. they have no intention of voting for nader, just the intention of getting YOU to vote for nader.

[Fenris]

21. He's given him money.

$1000. Check newsmeat.com.

[ret5hd]

27. yeah, in the hopes that ralph gets dems to vote for him...

ben giving someone $1000 is like me leaving a $0.25 tip at a restaurant.

[SaveElmer]

22. He isn't that bad

I wasn't that happy to hear he was gonna be on. But he is pretty funny, and it is obvious he and Al are friends...and despite it's short length, the debate between them wasn't that bad...if he's gonna have Republicans on I'd rather listen to Ben Stein than alot of others I can think of.

[UdoKier]

23. Sorry for the copycat thread.

oops!

[UdoKier]

24. Moving my comments on Stein over here.

I can't stand him or his annoying voice. blech.

I'm trying so hard to love Franken's show. He doesn't do it for me like Randi or Malloy.



*Wow. Stein sez he's voting for Nader. Now I've heard everything. Still can't stand him, though...

[blm]

26. Stein is NOT voting for Nader. He's saying that and giving Nader money to

HELP Bush.

Doesn't anyone remember Stein sitting WITH Poppy and Babs during the 2000 convention? Shit, folks, how can ANYONE be dumb enough to fall for the crap Stein is trying to pull?

[Cat Atomic]

25. Not a word about Stein's shameless "Why Liberals Hate America" book.

If you're not going to expose his hateful propaganda, why have Stein on at all? Stein is poisoning political discourse like his corporate idols poison the environment, and Al didn't say shit about it.

If they're friends, woop-dee-doo. Be friends off the air. Don't let guys like Ben Stein spout their conservative bullshit on AAR unless you're willing to slap them, Al.

[CaTeacher]

28. I haven't really looked at the book--but I

figured the title was a joke--you know like his books on money (How to Ruin Your Financial Life) where you are supposed to do the actual opposite of what the book recommends?

I didn't know the book was serious--I guess I just only see Stein as a comedian--so I thought the whole thing was a joke....bummer.

[SemperEadem]

29. Franken-Stein... a monster of a show!

I couldn't resist... ;)
