stupidest/most clearly false Media quotes contest at Air America

[papau]

Over the next week, any stupid or misleading comment you hear on the radio or see on TV is fair game as an entry. If your comment is selected by Al Franken as the winner, you'll receive a personalized and autographed copy of Al Franken's book "Lies and the Lying Liars that Tell Them," and you'll be recognized on-air.

You can read the complete rules and submit as many quotes as you like at:
http://www.moveon.org/franken/

But enough details. Here's Al:


It's my honor to team up with MoveOn.org, which I am told has made use of the Internet to great effect. While I myself do not have an Internet, my son does, and he says you guys are terrific.
Here's the deal. My job is rhetorical jiu-jitsu: I take the words of right-wing jerks, and I use those words to heap scorn and ridicule upon them. It's what I do. And I need your help. These guys say so many stupid and dishonest things every day that no one man possibly can sift through all of them. I need you to be my eyes and ears, so that no right-wing ideologue can ever again safely traffic in distortion and calumny.

Yea, I say unto thee. Let the flaming sword of justice rain down blows upon them, that they may rue the day when this contest was announced.

The future of our nation rests in your hands. Good luck!

--Al Franken

Enjoy the contest.

3. It Is Too Early For The Time Frame, Sir

But back during the "hot mike" flap, MSNBC had a program graphic up announcing "Kerry caught criticizing Republicans." That will take a lot of work to top....
