4. I don't have Sundance, but...
...I'm seeing the ads for the show all over cable, and I must say I'm loving them, especially at the end with Al peeking into a miniature White House window and then coming away with a disgusted look on his face.

14. Oh, Klein's there in person?? I thought he was on the phone
Edited on Fri Jun-24-05 11:15 PM by ailsagirl
I'm jealous-- I can only get the sound clip.
I'd love to see everyone's expressions!!!!

Conason: "You're lying right now" :rofl:

Klein was a fool to go on Franken's program. :dunce:

Now they're correcting the numerous (and inconsistent)
misspellings of people's names in Klein's book.

Klein: "I don't think the question is worth my responding" :rofl:
(when he can't come up with a good response)

Franken to Klein: "You're very heterosexual looking..." :rofl:

Conason: "You're purported to be a journalist..." :rofl:

Conason should run for office!!! He's tough, doesn't mince
words, and TELLS THE TRUTH!!

:patriot:

16. Klein's in another radio station from the looks of it,
and there is a camera on him during this discussion. He looks like a complete loon to me.

22. I'm not surprised-- they were relentless
Klein was furious that he wasn't told about Conason's
presence!!!!

21. Conason should run for office...
He does such a good job on Salon.com and his other gigs he may be better where he is.

I was listening last Friday when President Clinton complimented him about his column and he was almost embarrassed at the mention. Joe's cool.

17. What amazes me is the lack of research
how can anyone write a book and not do basic research? That takes some real stupidity :freak:

18. This is what passes as journalism these days
Conason is a real journalist. Klein is a hack.

28. Write to Penguin Press
Google them for their email address and tell them what you think about them sponsoring and promoting such a trash journalist. They need to hear all of these comments.

30. Curious: how much do you pay for cable?
I had the "bronze package" from Comcast and it was
over $70 a month.
:wow:

That's ridiculous. I dumped it.

Anyone getting it for a reasonable price??
