Al Franken finally sees the light |
|
He just called Katherine Lanpher a "cackling schoolmarm". Even if it was in jest, I couldn't agree more. Who else thinks he could get a much better sidekick?

1. I liked KL when she was on MPR |
|
I haven't heard here on AA as I don't get it on air and can't stream at work.

3. I used to think that back when I listened to him |
|
when he went soft on the election fraud thing, I gave up on him. But she's not funny, I do remember that.

4. she's not supposed to be funny. |
|
she's his "straight man," meant to make HIM seem funny compared to her.
but he's not funny, either, sadly. he's a funnier writer - he should stick to that.

8. Well - yeah you can only have a "straight man" if one person |
|
is actually funny. That's probably the deal. I still don't really dig her though... she has a lecturing quality.

Besides, she's keeps him in line. He wanders off topic too much for me.

I'm getting tired of her holier-than-thou stuff. Why does Franken have to be nice to the people who are trying to ruin the country? What votes does she expect to win that way? Is she the DLC wing of AAR?

9. The bigger problem with AAR |
|
is that terrible show Unfiltered. Someone put it out of its misery. Please.

10. A lot of affilliates don't carry it |
|
But for many of the west coast stations, that's the drive time show. Some of the shows are good, some are not.

Rachel and Liz are too too funny. I think chicks dig that show more than guys. Now Al? Not funny.

12. I think she was invaluable at the beginning... |
|
she would really keep the show moving along when it really threatened to stagnate and wallow.
I kinda got used to her laugh, plus she's pretty damned smart.
