Reply #4: I have to admit...

I've been jumping off the Al Franken bandwagon for awhile now. I try, I really do try to listen to his show. But I just can't get by the constant "Um....uh....umm.....aaaahhh...let me say that....um....uhhhhh" every single time he talks. I want to reach into the radio and pull the damn sentence out of his mouth!! And he interrupts his guests constantly, and usually it's with some stupid deadpan joke that isn't funny. I find that he wastes so much time with his guests that time runs out before he can get to much meaningfull stuff.

And believe me, I have been a Franken defender for a long time. It's not that I question his beliefs. It's just the constant dead air space filled with um's and uh's that just drives me crazy.

I caught Tom Hartman (sp?) the other day and found it very refreshing.
