I can't remember the last time I heard Al Franken take a damn phone call
from a listener. Jesus is that hard? He continues to have boring ass "Christy Harvey" and "Oy Oy Oy show" and insanely bad random comedy bits with his humorless co-host.

But he can't take a damn phone call.

3. I second that..
The Bill and Hilary thing today was way too long and pointless. Rethugs think Bill and Hil are bad. Yes, ok, funny, we get it.

And I am not all that fond of Oy Oy Oy either.

2. People still listen to Al?
I listen to Malloy, Randi, and occasionally Ed Schultz. That's IT.

The last time Al did anything noteworthy was when he gave Bill O'Reilly the redass at that book fair.

4. He probably can't take phone calls
cause he isn't at the studio.

5. He never really took many calls to start with
It became a kind of drinking game. He'd say let's take a caller, and you take a drink, then he starts talking about something else and forgets to take a caller.

he never sounded like he liked that part of the show.

6. Thom Hartman takes calls... and i LEARN something...
I am grateful for Al, but disappointed that he is dismissing that the Election was fraudulent...he is never on top of things, but once he *gets it* he is great...since Nov.2nd, i have moved Back to Thom Hartman....and of course, i love Mike Malloy and Randi is still fighting the good fight....

7. What do you mean? He's talking to a DLC lackey right now on the phone
Who's assuring us that there wasn't ENOUGH fraud to change the election results.

That's right -- not ENOUGH fraud to change the election.

I feel SO much better....

:grr:
