Hannity claimed today that Franken has quit radio

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

What's he talking about?

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

1. I Believe He's Running For Office

Wasn't his last show a couple of days ago, or is it tomorrow?

[feminazi]

2. I don't know if he's announced a Senate run yet.

But he'll be on a USO tour after tomorrow. I thought he was coming back to AAR after that.

[MurrayDelph]

3. Last show of the year

but not necessarily ever (Whether it is his last show ever depends on the condition of Air
America Radio when he gets back).

Al Franken has a tradition of spending the Christmas season with the USO entertaining
the troops. He is fond of telling the story of his wife reminding him that Sean Hannity
doesn't do this, to which he responds, "That's not a fair comparison: Sean has no talent!"

[A HERETIC I AM]

5. He has said the same about Billo n/t

[wryter2000]

7. I think it's O'Reilly he tells that joke about

He may have branched to Hannity with it.

[MurrayDelph]

11. No, I think I got the story wrong.

But it would still be true anyway.

[MurrayDelph]

26. He just told it both ways

and told the story about how Hannity didn't get the joke.

[wryter2000]

6. That turned out not to be true

He's doing a USO tour tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure he'll be back. He might run for the Senate in 08, and he'll quit radio then.

[LSK]

13. he was on the air today

[ronnykmarshall]

4. He's full of shit.

Al's going on another USO tour.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

9. Wouldn't it be nice

if someone called or emailed this Hannity fellow and told him this, adding, "and when are you going on a USO tour?"

[KamaAina]

10. Not only that...

[imax2268]

8. just goes to show...

that Hannity is...FULL OF SHIT...!

[LSK]

12. Hes talking about Franken going to IRAQ on a USO tour next week

Hannity is lower than pond scum.

[Ron Green]

14. Hannity also today compared Bush to Winston Churchill.

That calibrates his truthiness pretty well, I'd say.

[TheCowsCameHome]

16. There's a stink , one because of a cigar, the other by his failed policies.

[Beaverhausen]

15. Hannity claims lots of untruths- "WMDs were found," "Saddam kicked out the ...

...weapons inspectors, etc"

Why would anyone listen to him?

[LTR]

17. And you believe him?

Everyone knows Hannity is full of shit.

If Franken leaves, good riddance. Ed Schultz kicks Hannity's ass in several markets.

[Doctor_J]

18. I don't know I don't listen to hannity

:wtf:

[Eric J in MN]

19. Franken is doing a show tomorrow. Then he's going to Iraq...

...Kuwait, and Afghanistan for a week to entertain the troops, then he's on vacation for a week.

If AAR is still around in 2 weeks, Franken will probably return to the air.

[CTyankee]

20. I hope he will broadcast from Iraq! I will miss him so much!

I love Al Franken. He and I must be soul mates because we think so much alike on so many things.

And I hope he is safe there. I worry about anybody's safety there. He is very brave. Hannity does not have one ounce of Al's courage.

Godspeed, Al. We love you here. Come back well and soon.

[Eric J in MN]

22. He's called in during previous USO tours,

...and so he'll probably call his own show another AAR show while he's overseas.

23. Here's a great photo essay on Al's USO tour last year:

Here's one pic when they were doing a show at Abu Ghraib:

21. He probably got Franken and Jerry Springer confused.

Springer announced yesterday that he HAS quit radio.

[nadinbrzezinski]

24. franken will quit raedio FOR THE YEAR

this friday since he is going to Iraq for the USO tour

Not that the idiot will get it... but his listeners will tune in on Monday and find out that Al ain't on... and bet dime on the dollar they will not stick long enough to rind out why

[librechik]

25. lol

facts are troublesome things--specially to Handjob

[CTyankee]

27. God bless Al Franken. He has guts no RW talker has.

He is doing God's work, for sure.

The RWers on radio can just pound sand, as far as I am concerned. They aren't going over risking their butts.

Thank you Al. You are showing what hypocrites the RWers are through you actions, which speak louder than words.

[Maat]

28. I want to be one of the first to contribute to his campaign when ..

he enters his Minnesota Senate race!

I haven't always agreed with Al, but I've always appreciated what he's done for the progressive cause; and, it's great that he goes on those U.S.O. tours. I SO respect that.
