I don't see why anyone's complaining, I personally love this show

4. DeVry, Get Out of Debt

2. I'm listening

As I usually do, everyday now. I understand a number of people here don't care for his style, but I have thoroughly been enjoying listening. I usually tune in about 30-45 minutes before he comes on, as well.

He's talking about Kerry's war record now and going over the medals - I guess Franken's going to try to fire back about the thugs's attempt to smear Kerry's record.

Bush - 2 cavities!

7. I'm not keen on the Oy Oy Oy Show myself

It got old the first day. Maybe if he just left the Oy Oys for the beginning and end, instead of after literally EVERY sentence.

On edit... that's funny. We wrote our posts at the same moment. :)

On second edit... to clarify, I mean that I love the premise of the segment, it's just the number of times he says Oy Oy. Kinda like the LIE segment gets on my nerves. I'm just sensitive to repetitive stuff. :)

11. His style needs a bit of work...

but Jeez, he gets some of the BEST guests.

12. Yes, he does. I Love Franken

Don't get me wrong, I love the show, and he does get some MAJOR guests. I'm just saying that he could use a little advice. I have to say that today, he read letters from listeners complaining about his shrillness in the LIES segment, and today, he really toned it down. It didn't bother me in the least.

So I just think he needsd to tone this one down too. I love everything else! :)

[Norquist Nemesis]

17. Thanks!

Forgot about that one. :doh:

[madmax]

15. Yes, but I don't know what causes it.

I don't listen because I'm hearing impaired but, it drives my husband nuts.

16. Mark the Dittohead

Am I the only one who is so so so very annoyed by this guy? I know Al is friends with him, but what a dipshit.

[Norquist Nemesis]

18. A pompus ass Rush wannabe

is my impression of him. :puke:

[rucky]

19. I like him

mainly because he's the Colmes to Franken's Hannity

[nostamj]

20. you are not alone

I wouldn't mind him one a week, but EVERY DAY?

please Al....

[wryter2000]

21. That's kind fo the point

How often do you get to hear a dittohead made to defend what Limbaugh says? They destroy the dittohead's arguments every day, all the while treating him nicely. It's spot-on, imho.
