[Suich]

13. It's on in Seattle now. n/t

[SeattleGirl]

4. On right now on the West Coast.

:bounce:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

5. I stand corrected!

thanks, I was on the wrong cable-whore-news channel. :shrug:

[LSK]

6. Al nailed bigbird on the IWR vote

:popcorn:

[SeattleGirl]

8. Bigbird keeps hammering the Democrats. I know he's a Repuke

and all, but it's just getting so tiresome to have so much shit blamed on the Democrats, when it's the Repukes have been in power for over 5 years.

Tim might as well have a neon sign over his head saying "Bush Shill".

[LSK]

9. and Al is more than handling him

AAR radio hosts totally rock!!!! :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

11. Yes they do, because they take the time to find out the facts, and

make logical arguments to support what they say.

[LSK]

12. this has been an amazing 24 hours to see AAR hosts dominate

I have never seen people talk to these Corporate bullies like AAR hosts.

[SeattleGirl]

17. It has been so impressive!

Because they don't blow hot air. As I said above, the AAR hosts take the time to research, get the facts, and don't just bloviate and spout talking points. Between the info I can get from DU, and that which I get from AAR (including places to research stuff on my own), my political IQ has really gone up! I can now make intelligent arguments with the bloviators if I choose to do so, thanks to my two best sources!

[Telly Savalas]

21. Al needs to point out that a majority of Democrats voted against the IWR.

[politicasista]

26. True. I think he is just trying to point out that Bush lied.....

and would have invaded without the IWR vote anyway.

[politicasista]

22. What did he say? n/t

[oasis]

7. Great Cheney impression.

[SeattleGirl]

10. Woohoo. Al is not letting Tim run over him with the Repuke

talking points. He hits Tim back with facts about what the Repukes have said and done. Good for you, Al!

[oasis]

16. Franken is loaded with facts and he's getting 'em out there.

[SeattleGirl]

18. I love it that he can make fact-based statements to every one

of Tim's swipes at the Dems.

[oasis]

23. Russert trying to pin the Iraq war on the Dems as if they had all of the

intelligence at their fingertips. Franken repeatedly saying Bush lied.

[SeattleGirl]

27. And reminding Tim that the information the Senate gets is NOT

the same information that Bush gets. I'm not excusing the Dems who did vote to give Bush all that power to invade Iraq. It pissed me off that one of my Dem senators did that. But dammit, it was the Repukes who have the majority, and who voted overwhelmingly to give Bush that power.

[silverojo]

19. He does a great Limbaugh impression, too! n/t

[radio4progressives]

14. Tim has a saturday show???

[LSK]

15. yes

1 hour for one person.

Al gets to beat him up this week. :popcorn:

[silverojo]

20. I saw it earlier

Al Franken handed that jerk's ass to him, didn't he? Woo-hoo!

[countmyvote4real]

24. "If the (*) administration would just be honest with us..."

And he implied there could be some real bipartisan cooperation. Well, that's not going to happen. The * administration is never going to honest. They are liars. And the majority of Democratic leaders are lying to themselves, but not admitting that they were wrong to support this war.

Speaking of bad Dems... Only 3 Democratic Senators showed up at the Judiciary hearings on Senator Feingold's call for censure.

[SofaKingLiberal]

25. Russert must not have 'juxtaposition' in his vocabulary. n/t

[devilgrrl]

28. He (Russert) busting a nut over quotes on his show...

Franken just busted him!!!!!!

[countmyvote4real]

29. Mr. Potato Head plays Gotcha.

And gets him back. Ha!

[oasis]

32. Franken with a hell of a gotcha comeback. Russert's such a slimy puke.

:puke:

[SeattleGirl]

30. "So you were wide-eyed. You were gullible." STFU, Tim.

Jeez, you just freakin' go out of your way to try to make Dems/Liberals look bad, and to make everything their fault.

[devilgrrl]

33. Oh I know!

And acting as if he really nailed Franken... accusing him of being selective and was selective in the process himself - what an asshole!

[SeattleGirl]

35. Yeah. He doesn't get that he's been gotten!

:rofl:

[oasis]

34. Franken nails Russert and Timmy's face turns cherry red.

[LSK]

31. that quote is the top of page 48 for those with the book

"We will have struck a major blow right at the heart of the base, if you will, the geographic base of the terrorists who have had us under assault now for many years, but especially on 9/11". - Cheney on Meet the Press

From the notes: on September 14, 2003.

[SeattleGirl]

36. Al has the studio folk cracking up.

He's talking about the "threat" of gay marriage to hetrosexual marriages.

[LSK]

37. again with the drugs jokes too

[devilgrrl]

38. At what point in time did Franken become the head of the DNC?

Because Russert is behaving as if he is... over gay marriage. ???:crazy::eyes:

[SeattleGirl]

39. I think Russert is just getting all hot and bothered at being able

to question any Dem/liberal and blame them for what the Repukes have done.

[Suich]

40. That's the part that's really pissing me off!

Russert is blaming the Democrats for not saving the repubs from themselves!

[SeattleGirl]

42. I know. I really like what Al said earlier in the program.

Tim was asking him what the Dem plan was, or why the Dems didn't have a plan. And Al did this big thing about how Bush lied us into war, Bush was a torturer, etc. etc., and has taken this mess way down the road, and then he said, "And then Bush comes to the Dems and says, okay, what's your plan to get us out of my mess?" or something like that. It was great!

[oasis]

41. Tim's discovered that Franken is too sharp for him. He's getting an

unwanted education.

[LSK]

43. i have been waiting soooo long for someone to hand it to these assholes

Russert deserves it.

[SeattleGirl]

45. You know, I'm still somewhat in awe that in the space of

two days, we've had Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes, and Al Franken on Larry King Live and Tim Russert! I wonder what's motivating them to have these folks on. I love it that they are, but it's kind of surprsing.

[LSK]

47. maybe its for ratings

Remember when KO said on CSPAN that when its all said and done, the Executives want money and ratings over everything.

Perhaps AAR is much bigger than everyone thinks and people are starting to notice.

[SeattleGirl]

48. You may have a point there, LSK

While I hate the whole "anything for profits" mindset, in this case, if it helps get the AAR folks on TV, I can live with that!

[LSK]

44. were you naive Al? not like you Tim!

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

46. Al, you rocked!!!!! Great job against Timmy!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Gabi Hayes]

49. one of the best things I've seen on TV! and the BEST

part was how that fat, bloated PIG just sat there, time and time again, with a big, shit eating GRIN, while Franken just rocked him with the truth, couched in jocularity

his only response was to try to go along with the light tone of Franken's delivery, when you KNOW he was just steaming on the inside, helpless in the face of a reality smackdown

I cherish those moments above all

and I want to VOMIT because the spineless ones can't handle him the way a fricking COMEDIAN did, and fairly effortlessly

and wasn't it interesting the way he came after this comedian so relentlessly, with all his papers, Franken's own book, his quotes, his gotchas?

have you ever seem him on one of Limbaugh's MANY appearances? he NEVER EVER confronts him the way he did Franken....too bad Al didn't have some clips of that sort of propaganda schwingfest to throw back in that prick's fat, swollen, fascist face
