Is it different for talk? After all, Rush could have his pick but toils on in 12-3.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, if drivetime is a better slot, something else may be in the works, like Franken jumping to Jones.<BR/><BR/>It's probably all just wishful thinking. I'll miss Franken when he goes. His show is far from perfect, but if you get his vibe, its good listening. I frankly didn't get him much on SNL, but I do now.Scott Piephohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05849171870929674248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-1164926704914949132006-11-30T17:45:00.000-05:002006-11-30T17:45:00.000-05:00I agree 100% with the post above.

As a person whose politics leans more towards the left of center, I thought that a funny, creative guy like Franken could add some interesting counterpoint to the sea of Rush wannabees. Instead, we got a show that is boring, slow-paced, never funny or witty. Franken comes off mean and it sounds like his tirades are scripted by DNC speechwriters and don't contain an iota of what appears to be independent tought. I do find Schultz a much better radio guy. If he succeeds in his new timeslot it will be because he's entertaining... not because of his politics. (The people at Air America never grasped that concept.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
