Al O'Franken just body-slammed Neil Boortz in a one on one...
...interviewed him and played Boortz audio of him lying-

Boortz was beside himself- he couldnt BELIEVE that Al was playing audio of him lying!!

"Stop that, Al, you are obsessed with this- this is not how to do compelling radio..."

Neil was LIVID -he spun, evaded,stuttered, stammered and eventually hung up!!!

The Boortzes of the world are sooo used to Liberals acting like Alan Colmes- it must have been a shock!!!

GOD BLESS AL O'FRANKEN

1. Caught him Lying multiple times.
Wouldn't admit it, and ran away with his tail between his legs.

What the Hell did Al expect? Boortz is a total dick.

6. I think Al wanted to give him a chance
You know, maybe he would say, okay I lied on those minor things. I think Al knew the chance of that was next to none. I also think he knew that the likely ending was the ending that happened.

17. Neil used to say that he occasionaly lies on purpose...
...just to keep his audience sharp.

I kid you not- he used to say "I occasionally lie on my show

I wonder why he didnt just use that standard excuse?

Oh, becuase Al would have had to TEAR HIM ANOTHER ONE with that lame excuse.

11. As a fellow Georgian who is equally sick of that lying bastard
I couldn't agree more.

What a fucking coward.

This is the second time I've seen/heard him run from an interview.

PUSSY!!!!!!!

16. i doubt any of boortz regular listeners would dare allow
the ofranken show to be played on anything within earshot

lets not forget that teh republican-in-libertarian-clothing Boortz is a rabid Bush supporter, except when he whines about Bush spending so much, which he immediately follows up with 'but Kerry would spend more' just to cover his ass to his crowd of knuckle-dragging neanderthals that listen to his show (not counting those of us that listen just to see what the latest line of bullshit is)

10. Exactly
mark luther seems to get more uncomfortable every day.

That's the whole point of the segment. I don't know why people complain about having the dittohead on.

9. It was un-effing-believable
He flat-out nailed him in two lies. One was a lie related to an earlier lie. I hope David Brock puts this on his site.

13. Worse, he was lying about Al wanting to screen callers...
...trying to discredit Liberal radio- but Al PROVED he was lying-not even a white lie or spin, but just an out-right fabrication.

BUSTED!!!!!

GOD BLESS AL O'FRANKEN!!!!

21. Franken doesn't need Boortz's advice on compelling radio.
Not that I listen to these radio shows, but I'm familiar with both of them, and Boortz wouldn't know good radio if it fell on him.
