Al discusses early SNL, politics and "rush limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot" (Frankens's book).

It's a cute interview.

Terrible video quality tho.

1. "Psuedo Certainty"

That's a pretty apt description of Rush's followers.

2. Excellent, Thank you for posting. Franken has been spot on for ever. nt

3. Don't confuse me with the facts

"My mind is made up. Don't confuse me with the facts." Seems like the PON's (party of no) Mantra.

[Enthusiast]

4. This is excellent!

And just imagine, clear back then there was a name for the ignorant state of the Fox News/Limbaugh audience. This audience has not changed a bit unless it is to become even more ignorant and gullible.

6. funny- seeing this so many years later i'm struck how Franken looks like John Malcovich...

his mannerisms, the mouth and sometimes the eyes.

anyone else?

:shrug:

oh yeah- and i SURE am glad he's in the United States Senate! :bounce:

7. The number of times Rush has risen and fallen in listenership...

... is commensurate with the many times he's lost and gained weight.

One thing remains constant- he's a fucking idiot.

8. K & R.
