You can listen to his commentary...doesn't seem like he has his own show...

[muchacho]

12. They play his segment on Air America

During Unfiltered.

[XanaDUer]

13. Thanks!

What did Franken say to the sour-looking woman with dark hair?

(I can only see CNN through snow and cannot hear a word).

[muchacho]

10. funny

the Right is so bent out of shape because CBS didn't do their due diligence but had no problem when the "Liberal" media didn't do theirs on yellow cake uranium and Iraq al Qaeda ties.

[BlueEyedSon]

11. I'm ill... who are these right wing wenches?

And Larry King himself just refered to the "murder" of Vince Foster!

[XanaDUer]

14. Great.

Thanks , Larry. :eyes:

Did someone slam him when he did?

[BlueEyedSon]

15. No.

Fuckers.

[muchacho]

17. squinty-eyed women for Bush

sooooo butch.

Idiots!

[napi21]

23. That's Janet Parshall.

[da_chimperor]

20. Franken isn't taking any crap from that bitch

who is she anyway? And Hussein did have WMD's when Clinton was president, because the UN was in there dismantling them!!!! And she just talked about those stupid MIGs buried in the desert! So what!? :grr:

[mountainvue]

34. He was being

sarcastic. Laughed when he said it.

[GimmeDANEger]

16. HAHA...one of the RW pundits refered to Saddam as a WMD

so I guess their claims make sense now, eh?

[Eric J in MN]

40. Even Bill O'Reilly has said calling Saddam a "wmd" is "spin." nt

nt

[Kathy in Cambridge]

18. Who is this dumb bitch?

she never answers a question directly. :eyes:

[Darth_Kitten]

22. which one?

:evilgrin:

[napi21]

25. Blond is Janet Parshall, brunett is Martha Zoller.

MArtha is from Atlanta, don't remember where Janet is from.

[Catherine Vincent]

19. Wow! What a way to bitch slap that conservative radio host.

Whatever her name is. And Hightower is kicking ass too!

[Lefta Dissenter]

21. those women are NUTS

particularly the 'blonde' one. Who the hell IS she??? :mad:

[DemonFighterLives]

24. That Janet Parshall is a freak

First I ever heard her and hopefully the last. Al and Hightower were good, but the other 3 dragged the debate down.

[Catherine Vincent]

26. The dark haired radio host said Kerry didn't release all of his

records. Franken says he did. She was rambling about medical records not being signed out. Which is it? Does anyone know?

[Eric J in MN]

36. I think they're both right, that Kerry has released all his regular

military records but not all his medical records.

Has any politician released ALL his medical records? They deserve privacy, too.

[napi21]

46. Could there possibly be 100+ medical records????

I think she's just spewing BS. I heard once that they were screaming for the ship logs. I doubt they have any idea what they want. It's just a screaming point for them.

[BlueEyedSon]

27. That was very depressing

[GimmeDANEger]

28. depressing? how?

Al and Jim totally took it to those two and anyone with half a brain out there will know who won that debate. I thought it was refreshing seeing take-no-prisnors dems on TV for once.

[BlueEyedSon]

29. I dunno, those wingers' attitudes. We won, but they wouldn't acknowledge

defeat.

[mountainvue]

35. It was hands down

Franken and Hightower. The crazy blonde bitch got right on the "blame Clinton" meme when she couldn't answer Al's questions.

[foo_bar]

30. I can't believe Franken said it's "a shanda fur die goyim"

[Eric J in MN]

37. What is a "shanda?" nt

nt

[dennis4868]

44. I think it is yiddish....

for "what a crime" or "the nerve of that person" something like that...

[librechik]

49. he said "It's a CHANDRA for the goyim"

you remember the Chandra Levy affair that kept the media busy all summer 2001.

[foo_bar]

53. a scandal (in front of the Gentiles)

The Yiddish expression has/had two connotations: "doing something that makes us look bad" and "doing something we were once accused of doing". The first meaning is figurative and superstitious, as in "You might be the deputy secretary of defense, but I'm still your mother and I'm tired of defending Rumsfeld on mahjongg night." The second meaning is more literal, like an actual invitation to blood libel. Yiddish was designed to gripe and make jokes at the same time, so you keep your spouse guessing.

[Dawgs]

31. Franken was great!!!

I wish he would show that kind of passion on his show. We're in a political war that we must win, and he spends most of his time joking around.

He did kick ass tonight though.

Those ugly biatches had nothing to offer.

[mountainvue]

32. That was a

dog fight! Go Al!

[henslee]

33. Franken slaps down loudmouth liars daily. He is 59 and 0.

Hightower, so relaxed and homey, I thought he was gonna give us a taste of some XXX moonshine from his still out back. And then Larry King's intro to Aaron Brown... Larrry was giddy. He was flying.

[Eric J in MN]

38. Was it all 4 of them at once for the hour? nt

nt

[mountainvue]

43. Last 20 minutes

or so.

[henslee]

51. yup. I think cnn reruns it later. 12:00 EST

[jean]

54. yes - just for the last quarter hour of the show. Al was

pitted against Janet Parshall - they were in split screen together, and Jim Hightower vs Martha Zoller (also in split screen)

Maybe you can pick up the transcript when it goes up.

Hightower made a point that stuck with me - saying 'we're looking in the wrong mouse hole here, people.' He said the focus on CBS should be Viacom's worry. We and all the media should be looking at Iraq and the other major issues and not be spending time on CBS' problem.

[Swede]

39. Hightower said Bush is trying the make chicken salad out of chicken shit.

On his Iraq fiasco.

[Eric J in MN]

41. Do they allow the word "shit" on CNN? nt

nt

[Swede]

42. Unfortunately no, He said manure.

I really like this Hightower.

[napi21]

47. He got the point across! Jim is GOOD! n/t

[goclark]

52. Hightower looked like a Beverly Hillbilly

When I turned on my TV I thought ... same old same old Republican crap and then Hightower hit a bullseye for our side!!

He knocked it out of the ballpark.

He should have his own TV show from now until Nov. 2nd!
He needs to be seen to be adored.

I love the irony. He proves that you should never judge a book by its cover.

[OnionPatch]

55. Hightower's been around a long time

and highly appreciated by some of us. Glad he's getting some TV exposure. He's a gem. I love him!

[Strelnikov_]

45. I Liked The End Where Parshall Said We Are Witnessing Victory

in Iraq.

Question is, whose victory?

[Flammable Materials]

48. Does LKL get repeated overnight? n/t

[librechik]

50. yes
