I agree, though. This is dull.

6. I thought he was hitting a stride yesterday.
I'm not listening today, but last night I heard his first two hours and found them very entertaining. Liam the diarrhetic leprechaun was a little disgusting, but it made me laugh. The Oy! Oy! Oy! show cracks me up. I think they've got something there. She's a good foil for him.

7. Al's Show is my favorite on AAR.
Some of the other, more-seasoned, personalities like Rhandi Rhodes give me a headache. They may sound more exciting than Al, but their style is too reminiscent of shrill RW radio. Too much squealing for me.

Guess it's probably because both Al and I are Midwesterners, so I find it easier to tolerate his style. I find him better informed than some of the other personalities on AAR as well.

8. Well, I guess they can't have Jon Stewart everyday.
Stick around- it will probably pick up in the last hour.

10. You guys are dissing Samantha Powers?
She is just unbelievably knowledgeable in world affairs and I am completely impressed that he had her on today.

I watch her on interviews every chance I get, like on Bill Moyers NOW or Charlie Rose...

11. Well, then, there's Rush and Michael Savage and Sean Hannity....
I'll gladly take even a sleep inducing Al Franken over the rest of talk radio....
