How long was Whoreward Fineman on with Al today?

[Doctor_J]

I got in the car at noon CT for a 40-min drive, and flipped on Sirius with anticipation. But "Sirius Left" cuts Thom off at noon for Lynn Samuels, who mostly just swears alot. So I flip over to Al and wouldn't you know it, he's got Supreme Bushwhore Fineman on. After 20-25 min of listening to Whoreward defend Delay, Bush, and McCain, I gave up and switched to ESPN for the rest of the trip.

Our radio people are not getting the hang of this. Would Limpballs have Eric ALterman or John Nichols or James Carville on for 1/2 hour regularly?

1. I cannot take Fineman. He is in the top 10 of media whxxxx..

I have a big problem with Al and his friends.

I deeply resent his taking our AAR airtime to get something we can hear Fineman say at any time on right wing tv stations when we could be hearing something new and more insightful - Something to inspire us. Inform us. Pump us up.

Fineman is absolutely predictable and is one of the top spinners for the right wing. Why can't All see that? Why give Fineman additonal time?

I am beginning to have a problem with the Franken show. I love Katherine.

2. I give Al a LOT of credit for some things,

but his Radio Show is beginning to bother me, too.

I also turned off the Fineman interview and agree that he devotes FAR too much time trying to be balanced and fair to the RW friends of his.

the one that really bothers me is the smugness of that ditto head he has on all the time. I virtually cannot listen to that segment as that guy is a TOTAL asswipe.

4. I give Al credit...he got a lot of big names to appear - he is a zealot -

but why waste the time of these big names to play music or laugh over their words...he must recognize the value of their time and our time and figure out some other way to have fun. I think the fun should come with the content of the discussion, not his stories or the music.

The right wing has made me ornery, angry, uptight, impatient, and hungry - for news, analysis, exposure, angles, insight, leads.

I don't want to know what Fineman, Rush, O'Reilly, and Mark have to say - I already know what they are going to say. The right wing spinners are totally predictable. Once you hear the first person deliver the talking points, all those that follow are only providing variations. Sometimes they will knock you off your feet with a new lie, i.e. the outrageousness of the lie might not be as predictable.

Al has a big heart and I believe he really thinks he can counter them. He has peace in his heart. They are not open to peace. They have a mission. Ours is a counter mission. Why give them our time? There will be plenty of time to talk to them once they want to get along. They don't.

3. Howard is not such a fine man

He's a total ho for messynbc. Sorry when he has
to punch his time card on KO's show. Sorry Al feels he
has to have him on when there are soooooooo many
progressive voices to instruct and inform.

5. i can't listen to Al anymore, i love his books and his style of

writing but the radio show no longer works for me. Between the time he gives to the righties and whorish media figures and that ASSWIPE Mark the ditto head he's turned me off. I like Randi and Malloy.

6. that's got to be my favorite nickname I've seen here,

with the exception of the one for Karen Hughes which I can't say right now.
