Reply #19: here's what i think part of the problem is...

first & foremost: 'talk radio' never stops 'talking', arguing with an extreme bias, bitching, gripping, bell aching, moaning, pissing & obfuscating. it is their full time job & they are well paid for it. they are playing to the jerry springer crowd i.e. too many like to see others made a fool of; and we all know there is not allot of intel in that group.

franken's delivery is spot-on as it has been during his comedy set ups...measured, studied, and in lieu of a witty punchline.

'talk radio' does not care two figs about a witty punchline, or as to whether the end is being 'justified' by way of shitty means, so long as the appearance is there.

the net result of all this, imo, the only punchline they care to deliver, or indeed do deliver; is that progressive thought is void of tangible meaning.

civility is all but completely lost as is plain to see reading nearly every headline.
