[Tatiana]

4. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep us cube rats updated! n/t

[ObaMania]

12. Cuberats Unite!

Get headsets and stream!

[Doctor_J]

5. al won't let her talk much

his interviews are mostly him interrupting, then asking questions that he himself answers.

[TrustingDog]

9. come on Al, let the lady talk!

sheeeeesh, has he too been taking Rhandi Rhodes lessons?

[Generic Other]

10. Franken should let his guest talk more

Kelley hardly got a word in edgewise.

[ewagner]

6. Confirmed sources

for Laura selling pot.

for Sharon confirming the cocaine sources.

Sharon's father-in-laws infidelities

[Doctor_J]

7. first 10 min with KK

1 min Kitty, 9 min al babbling. what a waste.

[nostamj]

13. agreed

TERRIBLE job Al. we'd hear more of KK if Matt Lauer was interviewing.

KATHERINE!!! shove a wad of paper towels in his mouth during this commercial break!!! please!!!

[Hello_Kitty]

8. Al said he once asked Bush if he ever manufactured crystal meth! LOL

[Hello_Kitty]

11. But you guys are right - he should let her talk more. n/t

[TrustingDog]

16. AL, STFU!!!! jeebers cripes, SHUT UP!!!

[Doctor_J]

14. we've all heard that story before

and he doesn't need her in the ron to repeat it. I am listening to hear Kitty talk about her book, and time is a-wasting.

[Hello_Kitty]

15. I wonder if they're gonna start trotting Neil out now...

Since Kelley is saying they've practically disowned him. Not good family values there. Sharon's obviously scared now.

[Hello_Kitty]

17. Noooo Al! Not the story about meeting Barbara again!!

We all read it in your book! C'mon we want to hear about Kitty's book! Please Please Please?! Even Kitty sounds bored.

[TrustingDog]

19. that's it, i'm turning it off, no point in listening....

[Doctor_J]

18. this is awful

now he's repeating the entire Bar In The Airplane story from the book.

[Zinfandel]

20. DOES FRANKEN EVER SHUT THE FUCK UP???

IS HIS EGO SO FUCKING LARGE---IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM????

SHUT THE FUCK UP AL, AND LEARN HOW TO DO A RADIO INTERVIEW!!!!!!!

[phylny]

22. Oh good,

now Katherine at least redirected the conversation and Kitty is answering...oh, never mind...here's Al again. Back to the "I met Barbara" story and how his friends felt about his story. Blah blah blah.

[ewagner]

25. Damn......what a missed opportunity

Al...this isn't about you and your impressions....

from the little bit that KK got to say, she was brutally direct...I am left hungering for more...

dammit Al!!!!!

[dennis4868]

21. OH MY GOD.....

Franken wont shut up! I cant take it anymore....turning off Franken....

[Az_lefty]

23. Al...Shut the Fuck Up!!!!

:mad:

[nostamj]

anybody got the email?

he deserves to be SLAMMED for this worthless, self-indulgent garbage!

when Al is good, he's great. but this was an UTTERLY useless 'interview' - KK should slap him upside the head for wasting her time.

[K-W]

26. they have an online form

http://209.208.176.243/bin/resContactUs.cfm?issueId=9

[nostamj]

27. thanks. sent a BLISTERING email n/t

[ewagner]

33. Thanks

sent an e-mail..........expressed my displeasure .....

[dennis4868]

24. THATS IT?

the whole segment was Al's stupid airplane story....and then its over...buh by Kitty...shit they did not need Kitty for that....

[cthrumatrix]

29. what a dis-service to the audience... that was a waste of time

[K-W]

28. It sounds to me like they were unsure they wanted her on the show.

Listening to the interview and the post talk, thats my take on it. I dont think they, especially Katherine were comfortable with what Kitty is saying.

[cthrumatrix]

30. I thought that "somebody got to Al"....I'm serious...it was a BS interview

[K-W]

32. Alot of people on the left are very uncomfortable with Kelley's book.

Alot of people think we should operate on a higher level than the republicans do, and not embrace dirt digging and personal attacks.

[Doctor_J]

35. why do you think someone "got to al"?

it sounded just like the rest of his interviews. He never lets Sirota or Harvey answer a question, either.

Stick to the comedy/commentary, al. Your interviewing is an insult to the guests.

[burythehatchet]

34. everybody really needs to chill

WE are not the audience that Al Franken is trying to reach. I've heard the Barbara Bitch story a hundred times, but most the country has not.

I'm not commenting on the KK interview, although I think it was fine, I'm pointing out that if a radio show host is making us all happy, then s/he is not reaching most Americans
