O'Really on NPR's "Fresh Air" shows his true colors
...being very rude to the interviewer, cutting her off at several points. I haven't seen his show but judging from the way he tries to avoid the interviewer's questions, I can see how easily he can spin his guests in the so-called "no spin zone" on Faux. Just thought you folks would be interested to hear this.

3. He's supposed to be on Leno next week.
Franken was on the other night and mentioned it - doing a take to the camera he said "Bill, you've accused me of slander. I want you to tell me EXACTLY what I wrote about you that isn't true."

Wanna bet O'Really cops out of the appearance? If he shows, Leno will look like a dolt if he doesn't confront him with it. (Wouldn't be the first time, though...)

8. Not sure about that
I think it's more about his close friendship with Arnold. I really have no idea about Leno's politics but I do know that the two of them have been close friends for many years.

7. I doubt they will be playing this section of the interview..
I listened to it again, and gotta admit...he didn't make the interviewer and NPR look good. He made it sound like they had an obvious bias against him, especially when the interview lady said that she didn't ask Franken any tough questions. I hope they edit that part out and keep the parts of him making an ass out of himself.

9. did you notice
that he said something to the effect of 'if you don't like me that is fine, but don't attack my PRODUCT'!!! Isn't that what the whole conservative world did to the Dixie Chicks? I mean, they didn't like their politics, so they not only slammed them verbally but directly attacked their livelyhood by boycotting their music and thus depriving them of income...

10. Just one more case of overt hypocrisy...
They don't even try to hide it. And people just seem to accept it!

A very sad state of affairs indeed.
