Franken does it again, 'Clearly Newsweek was wrong'...

[Al-CIAda]

'...Isacoff volunteered his resignation...'
Thanks Al, I'm sure you friends at the AEI and PNAC will be pleased.

[dogday]

1. Al is covering his political aspirations

[lala_rawraw]

2. Wait... he is not saying that...

He is discussing how DOD approved it... what he is addressing is that Newsweek or Isacoff stood up for themselves... what he is doing is presenting the story and how it developed.

[Al-CIAda]

6. If this is true, perhaps I was

a bit hasty. I did not however as someone else suggested 'cherry pick'. I happened to be listening and was delinquent in switching over to Thom Hartmann after the Stephanie Miller show ended. I listened to his opening remarks then switched. Perhaps I made this post in haste, and perhaps I did not give him a chance on this particular issue, but there is a reason I switch to Hartmann. I will defer to your post however as I trust you, and retract my statement in this particular instance.

[lala_rawraw]

14. no no, not a big deal... i get confused between switching

back and forth from everyone on the air and watching c-span while working... so no worries:)

[NYCGirl]

3. You might want to listen to EVERYTHING he's been saying instead of

cherry picking.

[WLKjr]

24. yeah, only neocons cherry pick

don't be like them. Use the force for the powers of good.....

[BlueEyedSon]

4. I loved what Springer said this morning:

If Isikoff should quit because he did his job poorly (i.e. made a mistake) because of incorrect info he was given (i.e. "lies"), why is Bush still president? A whole lot more people died because of the Bush mistake(s).

On the other hand, if Bush isn't required to step down, neither is Isikoff.

On edit: yeah i prefer Jerry, I find Franken a bit too "moderate."

[ComerPerro]

11. Damn. That's a really good point

[zbdent]

13. I heard that - it was in response to some freeptard demanding MI to

leave - and the freeptard was like spinning faster than a tire at a NASCAR race . . .

[FreedomAngel82]

22. I love Jerry!

I used to like Franken but it got old after a while. Jerry's show is always good.

[EST]

5. I was so proud of Big Al and his involvement in Air America,

as well as his willingness to stare down/take down some of the Reich-wing bigots, but he has been straying farther and farther into the camp of the crazies. Guess this confirms his decision to run for office, sigh. I don't wish him ill, but, if he can't read the shift in the prevailing winds and see the ultimate crash of the bastard band and their village idiot in the coming backlash, piss on him.
With any luck, in a couple years anyone to the right of McCain won't be electable to the proverbial dogcatcher's exalted office.

LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION!

(Sorry for the caps, but I really did shout it.)

[NYCGirl]

7. Well, he's playing Galloway now. So what does that mean to you?

How's that straying into the RW?

[BlueWolff]

8. Al and HIDEOUS Katherine

Between Al boy being a butt boy for his Senate bid and that hideous laugh and nonsense of katherine they are destroying Air America. They get all the publicity while the REAL shows like randi and Garofolo are always given 2nd bid for tours etc..... I hope he runs and wins and GET HIM OFF Air America...

[NYCGirl]

10. They get far and away the biggest ratings at AAR. It can be argued that

they are keeping AAR afloat.

[bunny planet]

15. Nobody on AAR gets better ratings than Randi, including Al.

Why do you think they have her on afternoon drive, the most coveted slot in radio.

[tridim]

9. Al's changed his tune in the past few weeks

He's still a moderate, but at least he's talking about the serious and important issues now. Nice to finally have you on board Al!

[EST]

16. It means he has done a wonderful, magnificent, powerful thing

and I will kiss anybody's ass who can get this thing growing big enough to become the death knell for the criminals who are destroying our world.

[CWebster]

12. The last time I listened

He very sheepishly floated Centrist Dem talking points that Allawi was a sort of okay guy. That was the end of that, I never tuned in again.

But Amy Goodman...now she walks on water. :)

[Catamount]

17. SARCASM!

:sarcasm: :sarcasm::sarcasm:

[snowbear]

18. I listened to the whole show today.. Al did an awesome job..

Gosh guys.. Al-CIAda said that maybe they jumped to conclusions..

It's really sad to see so many people jump on Al even before Al-CIAda has a chance to retract.

Sheesh... :(

[cry baby]

20. I've had to listen to people like Rush, Glenn Beck, and other

hate radio people for so long! Then got XM. I think maybe the DUers that bash left-wing radio hosts have had good left radio to listen to for a while. I think Al is terrific most of the time. I love about anyone that isn't a reicht-wing hate radio, even if they are a little more moderate than I am.

I am overjoyed to be able to listen to Al, Randi, and all other AAR. Thanks to DU, I can stream other lefties, too.

Who are you directing that to?

23. Franken impressed me on Maher's "Real Time" on Friday.

He seemed to be aware of things -- and was genuinely hilarious a few times. I thought his bit on Gannon was priceless. And the Santorum thing was brilliant. I'd been down on Franken for awhile, but he won me back over Friday night. (I think he'll wipe the floor with Coleman in '08).
