You grumpy ass DUers -- looks like Al Franken heard you |
|
while he is on vacation next week, Rachel Maddow will be subbing for him.

1. It could only be an improvement |
|
Franken bores me to tears. I will support his senate run just to get someone more interesting on the air.

12. I have never listened to him, not once. I know I wouldnt |
|
like him. I talked to him at a book signing for a few minutes and he is very down to earth and friendly BUT , politically, he is DLC all the way..he even admitted it in the speech he gave. centrism is hardly inspiring. but..WHATEVAH..:shrug:

19. It's not fair to mischaracterize a show you have not heard. |
|
Give it a listen, then come back and tell us how "centrist" you really think it is.

4. He certainly stuck it to us, not just a sub, but a great sub. |
|
And its also, not intentionally Im sure, a response to the "Al is a centrist" posters, if Al was using his show to push centrism, he wouldnt bring Rachel Maddow in for a week.

8. He's just afraid to look "extreme" before his senate run. |
|
I'm sure he's as liberal as any sane individual in real life. :D

The only thing about Augusta I miss is the fried chicken, biscuits & pulled pork & hash with rice- that's about it. :)

15. He is part of the "good cop, bad cop" PNAC agenda. |

You have to be a real fool not to understand this.

17. Is that why he points out & documents PNAC lies on a daily basis? |

21. Not everyone in their cars, cabs or office spends hours on DU. |
|
Edited on Fri Aug-26-05 01:52 PM by Dr Fate
So the answer is "yes."
And whether the Liberal echo chamber is redundant or not was not the original complaint- the original complaint was the ridiculous notion that he is "in" on PNAC.

23. His intended audience is not DU'rs |

It is people for who AAR is presenting a new perspective and new information. Thats the entire point of the network, to reach out to people that werent being reached yet.

18. Yes. This is good news. |
|
Most important is that his time slot should always be current, not re-runs. That it's Rachel is a great bonus!
BTW, I like Franken a lot, though I detect that he does play it safe a bit, I guess to keep his options open.

I can't figure out why he is so loathed on DU...
I think Rachel is a good choice to sub, I hate how her show airs at 5AM, I always miss it.

25. I can't figure it out, either |
|
:shrug:
However, I agree with DUers in that Franken should have a stand-in when he is out, rather than airing those "Best Of" shows.
Too much is happening too fast for us to be stuck with past shows.

Oh, but this will cut into my Thom Hartmann streaming. Still, I look forward to hearing Rachel!
