What is wrong with Al? He never seems to do his homework
He is always out of the loop and it shows in his show. Today he disagreed with a caller who said the election was stolen again. He treats politics as a spectator sport and his competition is Rush, Hannity and the rest. He just wants to win the game by calling everyone a liar. We want to win back America. Big difference. Al, do your homework. You'd think he didn't even watch Conyers' hearings.

1. I stopped listening to him long ago. I bet he didn't watch the hearings
You are now listening to candidate Franken - and he's not interesting to me in the least.

3. I agree. I stopped listening shortly after the election. Frankin ought
to turn the show over to his side-kick. She, at least sometimes, seems to have a clue.

5. You didn't say what he said completely.... His full quote was....
He said he didn't believe it was stolen but he believes there was some hankey panky.

6. I'll bet he is math challenged. Lots of people think numbers are
scary and that people who use numbers are sort of the modern equivalent of witches or mentally unstable. Think Unibomber/Brilliant Mind/Pi/the killer mathmetician wife from that first John Grisham novel.


If you can not get your mind around probablity theory, you will not understand what is wrong with this election. It may seem like a bunch of crazies have looked into a crystal ball. Hell, people who do not understand math probably couldnt predict that John Kerry was going to win the election if the vote had been a fair one. So, when other people are able to "fortell the future" it must seem sort of spooky.

7. I won't listen to him.
Too much of his personality, walks on everyone with his jokes.

www.thomhartman.com is smarter, better informed, great debater, great interviewer.

11. Al has been in Iraq with the USO.
He is probably not as up on the latest details as we are.

Yes, he can be a real pompous ass sometimes but I'll take him over Rush Scumbag anyday!

12. People need to send documentation to people like him. Big mistake.
Apparently no one bothered to send documentation to some of the most influential Dem party leaders, like Clinton and Gore; that was a serious mistake. They should have been kept updated. you can't depend on them hearing it from the Media, they won't.

14. Very true... maybe we should be doing that...
It must take hours for Randi, Al, Mike, etc. to get ready for their shows. If we could send them modest piles of pertinent info regulary, well, now, that would be something, wouldn't it?

Wish I had thought of it earlier!
