Franken launches radio show from Austin
Comedian, author targets Bush, DeLay in broadcast from the State Theater
(snip)
Franken found no shortage of Texas targets. With the aid of sidekick Katherine Lanpher and his guests, newspaper columnist Molly Ivins and former U.S. Rep. (and possible gubernatorial candidate) Chris Bell of Houston, he took on U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, under fire for alleged ethics violations; President Bush; congressional redistricting and numerous policies backed by the Bush administration.

"In Texas, our politicians are not crooks," Ivins said during one lively segment. "They just have the ethical sense of walnuts."

The owners of this station in Austin also own the Dallas, San Antonio and Brownsville/McAllen station. I did ask them about expanding to El Paso and they say they don't have any radio stations they own there but are looking into some possibilities.

I also loved the Quid Pro Quo PAC routine Al did.

Austin we are good to go. Launch was very successful.
