[orleans]

sam seder

tune in--last day aar fest!

[patrice]

1. Last day?

Are the going off the air?

Or is it programming change?

I love Tom Hartman and Christy Harvey.

On edit: Does that make me a persona non grata?

[orleans]

2. "last day" for some people who are sooo pissed about them

dumping malloy

[patrice]

4. I understand Mr. Malloy's passion.

I don't listen to him.

He could have changed a little if he'd wanted to keep the job. He chose not to.

[greenbriar]

9. how do you change if everything is OKAY

besides, why should he change???

[orleans]

14. yes, i'm afraid you are so right. there is just no place in the world

for screaming far-leftists like malloy and myself. maybe i should just give it all up too, huh? i know we just don't deserve to be heard or have a voice. shame on us for even trying.

:sarcasm:


(sorry--couldn't help it)

3. Christy Harvey was very good. Can't wait to hear how Lawrence O'Donnell

does tomorrow and Friday.

5. Yes she is excellent! Who was that working with her.

One of the regulars on Al Franken, but I can't remember his name.

I love the way that the two of them seemed to be amused most of the time. That was one of the good things about Katherine Lanpher with Al Franken, her sense of humor and her wonderful laughter.

8. Yes. These people represent what I want from AAR.

Information, not sugar coated, but at least with as little stress as possible.

I work at a computer all day. I want INFORMATION. It is good to get spoken information, so I can relax at home.

I'd like to see Oliphant and Harvey take over Franken's show.

It was so great to listen to intelligent, measured, non-hysterical, non-"funny" commentary. And they don't interrupt people. Al Franken is a good guy, and he did a lot to get AAR going, but sometimes he drives me nuts -- it seems like he can't shut up; even when there's a really serious discussion going on, he often interrupts his guests with wisecracks. Oliphant and Harvey, in contrast, were consistently excellent.

11. I like the funny stuff, especially in the afternoon. NT

[patrice]

12. I appreciate what Franken has done, and I've tried with him.

But he is an acquired taste, I haven't been able to acquire.

I especially don't like people who interrupt, but I also don't want to listen to call-ins who only want to make speeches and DON'T engage in discourse. There IS a fine line with that about when to interrupt them. Thom Hartman demonstrated a good sense of it this afternoon.

I like the call ins. Jerry Springer handles them pretty well, drawing them out, sometimes he kicks ass in disagreeing with them, but usually NOT.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. Dupe - computer hiccup.

[Marr]

13. I agree with you.

I prefer information and analysis. A little thoughtful dialogue.
