I'm going to miss Al Franken on Air America Radio....

[Postman]

I think his show was great, especially with his co-hosts Andy and Billy....

I love the Hate E-Mail of the Day segment...That 2001 Space Odyssey is just hilarious...

1. I'll miss hearing Joe Conason's incredibly sexy voice in my ear.

:loveya:

[The Count]

3. Mmmm...Conason...He doesn't have to go! he may still guest!

But, yeah, I know what you mean - it's not just the voice either...

[Marr]

2. Same here. Franken's show has been my favorite since the network

launched, even through that awkward launch period.

4. Well I won't miss that idiot friend of his

oh well, there's always a silver lining.

[The Count]

5. Not me. For the funny parts, he believed Powell on the war, slamed us on

the 2004 theft and just about 40% of what he says is plain wrong.

8. He wasn't perfect, and I held a grudge against him for that for over a year.

But he was funny and he did have good guests. Just not the go-to guy for political reality. For that we've got Thom Hartmann and Sam Seder.
I would like Al to do an occasional special and Joe Conason to be the regular news guy on Thom's show.

[The Count]

11. Randi is my reality gal - the others come next. But Conason should be there

as much as possible - maybe we need to make an appeal to Air America for that.

7. Announced his departure from AAR

9. I like my talk radio current, so I will not miss Al at all.

I have always admired Al, but his show is alway SO Scrpt heavy. I like my talk radio current, and he is always 3 or 4 days behind on stuff. If news breaks and Randi is on, I know I will hear about it. If it breaks while Al is on, I will hear about it on CNN.

Just my thoughts

10. I much prefer Thom Hartman

He is much more knowledgable and doesn't try bad comedy when there isn't anything funny about the situations this country is in.

[Cleita]

12. I always loved his guests especially Tom Oliphant. I hope one

or more of the other AAR hosts pick them up and feature them on their shows.
