Does anyone like/listen to this Lionel person on Air America?
Edited on Sat Feb-23-08 11:43 PM by Sarah Ibarruri
He's the closest thing I can think of to an asshole. If anyone can convince me he's worth listening to, please advise as to why. I absolutely don't think he's a liberal. I think he's a closet right winger or Libertarian. I don't know which is worse. I think the Libertarian. I also think the guy has some sort of a mental problem he isn't treating.

1. I don't like him. He's on AAR/XM Radio in the morning, so sometimes I listen
on the way to work, and almost without fail I turn him off after a few minutes. He is absolutely full of himself, shows off his vocabulary, and just says stupid shit. Whatever his politics may be (and he's all over the place), he's definitely an asshole.

2. I hated him when I first heard him
being that that's about it at night around here. I've kind of let him grow on me like a fungus. but just a little, hr's still an asshole.

4. He has nothing useful to say, he's boring as hell, and he's grating on the nerves....
.. is there anything that justifies Air America having him on?

10. CHRIST. I'll bet the ratings are down to hell. When is he going to get rid of him?
When he begins to lose ads?

5. Lionel
His voice is annoying too. I can't stand the commercials that advertise for this show. The guy is a puke and I cannot believe they took of Sam Sedar for this piece of crap. They guy is a joke and has a stupid face.

6. He must be related to some big wheel on Air America, or maybe he's got pictures of
someone on Air America. Who knows? Fact is, I have yet to meet ANYONE who likes the asshole.

7. I never understood why AA gave this doink the timeslot,
and ditched Sam Seder. Sam was the reason I purchased AA premium. I cancelled soon afterwards.

:mad:

This Lionel dude is more fucked up than a football bat. WTF

9. Maybe he's got something on someone in AA and they were forced to hire him? LOL
I mean, what other reason could there be for hiring a completely boring, useless, unfunny jerk?

16. A "Known Commodity"
The Greens and AAR brought on Lionel...who had some success at WOR to hope they could draw some ratings to their local New York affiliate. Fortunately we don't get his show in Chicago any more.

12. No, I don't care for his program. So, no, I don't listen to him.

Mama Steph (Stephanie Miller) is my preference during the week.

The weekend "best of" Lionel segments are my favorites because I haven't found an alternative. Consequently, I shut down the streaming altogether.

Still, since Stephanie Miller is not on AAR, it's nice to know that I'm not missing anything from the Lionel stream offered, but not taken.

13. No. Don't waste your time.
I lost about 20 minutes of my life to that no-talant asshole.
