Perle said, at the end of Franken.....

[Aviation Pro]

..."oh, give me a break," in response to Franken's last second assertion that the relatives of those killed in in Iraq might dispute Perle's logic in what he provided as a consultant to the Pentagon.

I say to Richard Perle, oh, you'll get your break real soon, Asshole, real soon.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

1. Why does Franken give these dicks any airtime?

The RW dominates cable and radio as it is. Why have any of these assholes on his show?

[Aviation Pro]

3. To engage them directly so more folks understand...

...how screwed up these assholes are.

[Cleita]

5. I think Al got to Perle. He didn't attack him but he pointed out

enough of his lies to make Perle accuse Al of being wrong in everything, or a polite way of trying to make Al the liar.

On the other shows Perle gets bobbing heads rubber stamping his statements. Al didn't so he did get to him. It was subtle, maybe too subtle for most people.

[Cleita]

2. That was a feast of prevarication from the master prevaricator.

He is disgusting.

[reprehensor]

4. I missed it.

Did Franken give him a hard time?

[Cleita]

8. He did, but he did it in a polite and respectful way so

many might have missed what was a heated exchange, but with low keyed voices and complete sentences.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

16. Franken got better at the end

when he actually had sound bites and quotes to refute Perle. At first, it seemed to me that Perle just flat out lied and Al had no citations to refute him. (Realize I'm at work and the interview was interrupted by several phone calls, so I couldn't give it my fullest attention.)

[Cleita]

20. Me too. I was out running errands so I missed some of the

exchange. I hope he posts a transcript on his website.

[Epiphany4z]

9. not hard enough but then

what do you with someone who just denies everything anyway? you let em talk...then do your research double check and nail it all to the wall on your next show...At least I hope so.

[bdamomma]

6. that rudeness and arrogance I hate it.

[peaches2003]

7. Don't flame me, please

but I am very disappointed in Al Franken now that I have XM and listen to him almost everyday. I find his show boring 90% of the time and he doesn't sound like the brightest star in the Dem stable. Just my observations and sorry, but I feel it is okay to not be enthralled with every Democrat out there.

[rfranklin]

10. Franken is wryly amusing and perhaps too subtle for some...

But he tends to make excellent points. You're right, he's no Morning Zoo, but he is educational and many of us like that.

[Epiphany4z]

17. There are days

I like Al...but then I like Stephanie too...its a mood thing sometimes you feel like a nut sometimes ya don't.

I could live without a few of Al's bits...the slide whistle, and the old lady charecter...He really is very informed though and enjoy regulars on the show.

[peaches2003]

23. Thom Hartmann

Believe me, I like educational. Al just sometimes drones on and the show can be slow.

Now TH is another story. He's the most well-spoken and educated talk show host on the air. I wish AAR would give his show a regular weekday time slot. Unfortunately the show I would love to see his replace would not work because of the time difference. An EST morning show cannot be replaced with a PST show unless a taped version is aired.

[marylanddem]

11. Sometimes Al is amazingly funny, but sometimes

he is just a little too much into his own trip, Like having his goofball Limbaugh-loving childhood buddy on regularly. Still, he can be very very
funny and angry. So I have mixed feelings about Al, but still like him a lot.

[Cleita]

15. I like Al because I like his guests and he is an excellent

interviewer although low keyed. Yes, he does drone on sometimes and I find I have to get past that like I have to get past Randi's rudeness to many of her callers to sink my teeth into the meat presented on both their shows.

I'm not flaming but asking you to listen to him in a different way.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

18. I prefer Guy James

he also does his homework but he's more forceful than Franken.

[Trouser Trout]

24. I thought that was Richard Clarke

I hope I'm wrong.I love(d) Richard Clarke

[NYCGirl]

25. No, that was Richard Perle. Two VERY different people.

[KeepItReal]

12. Perle, Wolfowitz and the rest of the PNAC have a date with Karma

in their futures and it's gonna be a B-asterisk-T-C-H.

[marylanddem]

13. One can only hope...

[rodeodance]

14. Perle will be teaching at a major univer. Nice salary (soon) sorry but

I forget the name. guess he got it huh?

[Cleita]

19. I hope not. If there is a god/dess out there, let

him go down with the rest of the PNAC anti-American, anti-Constitution drones. IMHO, they should all be tried for treason. It will be hard to teach from behind bars.

[adriennui]

21. al did a good job

he was polite and knowledgable. perle is a very glib, intelligent man (an asshole as well) but i think al bested him.

[acmavm]

22. I'd shut up if I were Richard Perle. He's not been too successful

at anything but being a sneaky sleezoid. There was an article about Conrad Black and his downfall and even that scumball didn't have anything nice to say about old Richard.

[Trouser Trout]

26. Whew, thanks NYCGIRL

Richard Clarke is a hero, Richard Perle is a dick.
