Sam's got a great line-up today and he speaks fast.

Today's guests on The Al Franken Show are:

Author of "Politics: Observations and Arguments, 1966-2004" and Senior Editor for The New Yorker, Hendrick Hertzberg - chats with Sam about the news of the day.

Attorney and Blogger at FireDogLake, Christy Smith (Reddhedd) - discusses the latest news from the blogosphere.

Ranking Member on the House Committee of Rules, Representing New York's 28th District, Congresswoman Louise M. Slaughter - discusses the Abramoff scandal and the lack of ethics in Congress. Her office has just published a report titled, "America For Sale: The Cost of Republican Corruption."

1. But the real question is

With this being prime time and all, will he still say "Peaches" at the end?

[realFedUp]

3. is this prime time? Somewhere it is I guess.

Sorry I don't know the "peaches" thingy. I like Sam
but I don't listen usually at that hour.

[GrpCaptMandrake]

20. Noon to 3, Eastern

is considered THE slot, since that's where the highest ratings are thought to be. God knows why.

[Marr]

8. Why do they say "peaches", anyway?

2. Thanks for posting,

I will tune in, Al has become difficult to listen to since losing his co host i'm afraid...

10. I miss Kathrine too!

:cry: What is she up to now?

[drbtg1]

15. Last I heard, she's writing a book

Based on her NY Times Op-Ed piece. This necessitated her leaving the show.

[mojavekid]

21. The discussion flowed nicely with Katherine,

pushing it along. I like Al's guests, but a co host for him is a must.

[drbtg1]

16. Don't worry. As soon as Al declares, He'll need to leave...

...and Mr. Hartmann will take over.

Can't wait for Al to declare. A win-win if ever there was one.

[mojavekid]

22. This is true, a real progressive.

Can't fault him there.

4. Try Tom Hartmann Instead! (link below)

5. Love Seder!

[foreverdem]

6. I really like Sam Seder

I'm a bit disappointed. I'm at work during Al's show so I won't be able to hear Sam this week. I guess this means Jeanine is solo for Majority Report?

[FreedomAngel82]

11. He could do both

Once he filled in for Randi I believe and he also did the Majority Report.

7. Interviewing the marvelous Louise Slaughter right now n/t

[tinfoilinfor2005]

13. WOW!

Ann Coulter said that Air America Radio only has 200 listeners. So this is amazing! Out of 200, four of us, right on this thread, right at this moment are tuned in right now...What are the odds???
:rofl:

[madinmaryland]

17. Make that five!!

I was listening at lunch and on my way back to the office!!!

:thumbsup:

[FreedomAngel82]

9. Thanks for telling

I love Sam! He's one of my favorite's. Rep Slaughter is on now! Yay! She's great!!

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

12. Rep Slaughter

talked about the corruption-how both Dem and Rep amendments to bills were ignored if lobbyists didn't like them, how the rw is trying to get dirt on her....

[HootieMcBoob]

14. Also a big fan of Sam

Majority Report is my favorite show in AAR. Sam has grown into a really great host.

[realFedUp]

18. Hertzberg on next 10:27 am pacific.....nt

[Cleita]

19. I'm listening. He's doing great! n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

23. YAY! I love Sam! Thanks for the reminder!

Sam mentioned this on Friday's show, but I forgot. This will be a nice change of pace.

24. Glad Seder is on. Last week, Franken was talking to Oliphant

and stated that Iran was building a nuke. It's like he repeats the GOP talking points sometimes....then I remember, "He's probably running for office" and he has to play to the Bushbots. I don't like that at all!

[Garbo 2004]

25. Yeah I actually left the radio on AAR in that timeslot & it was a great

show. Now that I know Seder's filling in for Franken this week, I'll be tuned in.
