To appeal to the hard left liberal base in this country, Air America would have to be spewing all the whacko comments typical of the Deans and Moores of the party.

All that would do is give us ammunition to expose them.

Which means, Air America is too mediocre to appeal to American liberals.

"Air America would have to be spewing all the whacko comments typical of the Deans and Moores of the party."

Isn't that pretty much what they have been doing? I used to listen to AA when it first came on the air, just to see what all the hype was about. Right away, I realized that their biggest problem was Frankin. Al's a funny guy, but 90% of his commedy is physical (he's just plain funny to look at). The remaining 10% isn't funny enough to keep his co-hosts amused.

Wow! I didn't realize rating numbers could be negative! LOL

It's my opinion that if they'd put a hour of crickets chirping on, that'd increase their ratings (in a positive direction, I mean).

I'm waiting for Ashton Kutcher to finally, mercifully, pop into the Air America studios with a camera crew -- "Yo, Al and Janeane! You just been Punk'd!"

So Air America now advocates execution? I must say it is a step up from when Randi Rhodes advocated assassination.

They even REFUSED to hire me as an intern or a promtions assitant job at Air America, i guess i am way too old. and they did hire a Paris Hilton giggly jiggly fluff bunny to boost the rating. Gotta have those college kids ooh they know so much about America.

But i think its because i worked on Johnny Cochran and Nancy Graces show when i worked at Court tv for 3years....

And I would have made a great talk show host and it scared them...they refuse to return my phone calls

BUT THESE MORONS DONT UNDERTAND:
This is a far bigger problem then Bush, the refusal to hire smart people anymore in America and it would not make any difference if a democrat came into office, its gotten so bad how can someone send out 1000 resumes with good jobs and get almost zero in respone?

I dare Air Amercia to discuss this issue.

They could probably stop ripping off their benefactors if they did that, too.

I'll say this for Al "You're a big fat lying liar doodyhead" Wanken. He actually makes Margaret Cho seem funny.

I don't know if Franken makes Cho more funny, but she does look a little better in comparison.

Air America could be on its last legs becuase people have found something better on the radio to listen to then the blabber and dumb talk

Can any one tell me what brain stem means? It is a common insult aimed at conservatives on AA. One host actually said that religion is a crutch for stupid individuals that are weak. I guess that’s what energizes there secular base. What do you expect from a party that aligns themselves with the ACLU and Michael Moore. Only they can make the Boy Scouts controversial while supporting NAMBLA.

Mike- I think that it's supposed to be the Terri Schiavo brain... if I remember correctly, during the autopsy, they found her brain to be liquefied down to the point where only the stem was still functioning (source for most involuntary functions).

Good to know that libs are still as classy as ever... perhaps next they'll start calling us something like "people who are too attached to sourceable facts to understand nuance" or something like that.

Nope, dammit, I blew it... too verbose.

Thanks for clearing that up.
One other thing, anytime someone disagrees with a lib the first thing they retort with is that person must not be smart or informed. I have had discussions with lib friends and they are never as informed as I am to world politics and events. I do not necessarily think one is stupid for disagreeing with me if they can back up arguments with facts.

I was curious to see how Air America is faring here in Dallas after hearing about how their ratings have fallen elsewhere.

They have fallen off the radar here in Dallas, according to the latest October 20th ratings... They are on KXEB which, last summer, was showing an audience share of about .5 - now they don't appear at all....

The few times I've heard them, I didn't find them very funny... more insult radio than political humor, I thought

Al Franken is coming to one of the true bastions of liberalizm, Madison WI. He is doing a show at one of our local theatres that only seats 1000 ppl. I am trying to talk one of our moderate local talk radio hosts to join me in the adventure into the mind of the insane. What I am not gonna tell him is that I am gonna wear a Club Gitmo tshirt and see what type of comments that I get from all the hippies. Any suggestions as to what I should heckle Al about before I get kicked out?

Evidence was recently presented that the first person to expose Valerie Plame as a CIA employee in the national press was her own husband.

Does this mean Wilson will get to ride the lightning, Al?

As someone who has been whacking Air Idiot since their inception--featuring the most asinine radio business plan imaginable--I can tell you why they are in the tank in NYC: they don't engage the opposition. Limbaugh takes on liberal callers and shoots holes in their arguments. He gets a lot of listeners who don't agree with him because they want to join the battle. If you haven't gone completely moonbat, you listen to a few minutes of Franken, Rhodes or Garofalo and say, "these idiots are insane" and change the station.

Hmmm.....here's a job search tip:
Learn to write in ENGLISH! As for the rest of you dopes, here's a one-word summary of Al's comments on Lettermen: Irony. Ever here of it? Probably not, as that would require a level of cognitive ability that any defender of the Bush administration so obviously lacks. However, I'll let you dittohead morons in on a little secret. When Al Franken makes a point, he tends to site his sources. If Bill O'Wrongly did that, his head would explode.

Learn to write in ENGLISH! . . . he tends to site his sources.

Oh wise one, that would be 'cite' not 'site.'

The Bush Crime Family's dynasty is starting to topple. What a glorious day to be an American.

Kill 'Em All..

"Kill 'em all?"

Ah, the peace loving left.
