1. His show is boring anyway.
There's always Randi and Mike.

I can only take so much talk radio anyway.

3. Randi rubbed me the wrong way for a while
but she's currently my hero(ine).

12. I like him alright
I listen every once in a while. The dittohead segment is okay. I like the other parts better.

6. He's kicking the shit out of Rush and his Dittohead.

Even as you tune out.

That's why the Dittohead is there.

13. I agree, I sometimes wonder if Mark is a vehicle to help Al point out
Limbaugh's lies.

It's much more effective than a monologue.

19. That's exactly right.
I'm often surprised that Mark just doesn't hang up. But he seems to be a nice guy and they are old friends.

One of my best friends is a relentless Libertarian. He's a moron (politically), but he's my moron.

22. Dittohead was on show.
Rush, as always, bashed from afar.

He won't have Anything to do with Al. Or, I bet, Mark Luther.

7. Mock him
make fun of him. Console yourself that his head is up Rush's ass. But to miss Joe Conason on Fridays...I couldn't do it.
That said, I love your posts and usualy agree with you on most things.

:)

9. I sent them an email because
I was UNABLE to vote in their 'poll' cuz I would have voted NEVER. Franken is my least favorite on AAR. He spends way tooooo much time playing rush & o'lielly 4 my tastes. If I wanted 2 listen 2 their crap, I'd tune it in.

Joe Conason on Fridays is the treat...must B why they save him until last.

15. Don't listen to Franken much
But yesterday I thought was hilarious. They were doing the first Al Franken Book Club with the chick from Wonkette and a guy from the NYT, doing bits from Ari Fleischer's book. All about how awful the book was, not from a political standpoint (though they were making fun of the blatant Shrub ass-kissing), but because his book was just terrible :)

17. For an uplifting change,
try Thom Hartmann, noon - 3PM Eastern.
Especially on Friday, the first segment, Brunch with Bernie (Sanders) is libeeral radio at its finest. Not to be missed.

18. ACK! I cannot stand that segment and I don't understand why Franken
gives that jerk airtime. Damn. That's too bad. Give me Randi and Malloy! They make me SMILE everyday! :7

21. I turned him off a long time ago.
Randi rocks, Mike is king, Sam and Janeane are fantastic and Jerry is growing on me. Franken just doesn't have it.
