Edited on Tue May-02-06 12:39 PM by Mr_Spock
I'm tired of his corny intro songs...

3. What's wrong with Howard Fineman?
I don't usually listen to Frankin, but I enjoy listening to Fineman on TV.

11. No I haven't read his column. Just listen to him on several cable
shows. Of the many talking heads out there, I like him better than most.

7. He simply does not do good radio.
Nothing bad about him. Just not a talent for radio.

9. I Stopped Listening ...
... to Franken last year ... after one of his two week vacations and repeat programs that went on and on and on ...

Is he still having Fineman on? Is he still doing the same OLD schtick? That Limbaugh guy? The Oye Show?

That's why I don't miss him much either, he became incredibly boring.

Now, when Franken is on I listen to Malloy instead from the White Rose Society -- much more provocative and entertaining.

10. I don't listen to Franken either. I subscribe to the podcast
so I can listen when the best Air America host, Sam Seder, subs for Al Franken. Sam is truly the best they have. Too bad they can't find more like him. His politics seem organic and he is not nearly as centrist as Al Franken. Mike Malloy is good as well and non compromising in his criticisms.

13. I never listen to Franken anymore - too middle of the road - like Springer
Mike Malloy is my guy - radio version of the great Stephen Colbert.
