sensible, critical news and political analysis on air america radio

<< < (2/2)

Trauma-san:
I'd never listen to it, because I simply don't like Al Franken or Jeanine.  I've seen them on t.v. in interviews, and they're not my kind of people.. Jeanine seems like a bitch who thinks she's better than everyone else, and Al seems like a fuckin' loser with a low I.Q. that thinks he knows something.  When it comes right down to it; they're entertainers who think their opinion on politics is somehow more important or interesting than anyone elses.  They'll never overcome that they were first entertainers, and now political conversationalists.  At the end of the day, people don't really CARE what Al has to say about politics, they still think of him as Stuart Smalley.

blah, blah, blah.

you could make the same arguments about fucking bill o'reilly or rush linbaugh.  they're nobody's with a voice.

the governor of fucking california is a fucking actor with a movie still playing in some theatres across the country (at the time of his election).

the ex governor of minnesota was a fucking pro-wrestler.

fucking ronald reagan was also an actor.

anybody without a felony conviction can hold a political office.  anybody, including convicted felons, can get a radio show and spew their ramblings on political issues of the day.  the criteria is simply:
a) do you look good on camera?
b) can you entertain an audience?

and there are no cameras in radio.

everything you just said against jeanane and al is bullshit.  you're whole argument is basically "i don't like them"; and while you're completely entitled to your own opinions...that argument doesn't mean much at all.

the reason people love al is basically because he takes the words of o'reilly or bush, or sean hannity, or ann coultre...et al. and throws it back in their faces.  exposes how they contradict themselves.  jeanane garafolo is very entertaining and engaging.  regardless, the best show by far is randi rhodes, randi spits nothing but knowledge.

They'll never overcome that they were first entertainers, and now political conversationalists.

that's silly and uninformed.  people love celebrities.  celebrities regularly obtain political offices.  in addition to the cats mentioned above (reagan, ventura, arnold...) there have been dozens of ex sports stars, war heroe's and tv stars that have both entered politics, held offices and held roles on political analysis shows...etc.  wwe's bradshaw from the acolytes (apa) is now doing financial market analysis on one of those fox show.  pat sajak has a late show on fox.  geraldo is now a "star" correspondent on fox.  lauren green (news woman on fox) was a former miss minnesota.  

your statements are completely empty.   there is no factual basis for your statements.

At the end of the day, people don't really CARE what Al has to say

speak for yourself.  let's wait until june or so when the ratings are released.   it's clear why you don't like al, because you love to rehash the distortions and lies that perpetuate themselves within the conservative media.
