MSNBC Hire Franken

[PaulX2]

Slam dunk.

[mucifer]

1. He'd be on the same network as Rachel like old times.

[chuckstevens]

2. I want him to run for Gov of Minnesota!

[dchill]

17. Not until his Presidential term is over.

[TomSlick]

3. Are you saying MSNBC has hired Franken or that they should hire Franken?

[C_U_L8R]

4. Is this real life?

[Kurt V.]

5. Al Franken could have been

on any teevee show. he has been quiet and I respect his decision

[The Animator]

6. Personally, Id love to see him back on SNL

As himself, roasting the hell out of Trump as played by Baldwin...

[PaulX2]

7. Host His Own Show Like Air America Days

A natural.

He needs a job I would imagine.

[Mr.Bill]

8. I would like to see it, too, but

his net worth is nine million, so he hardly needs a job.

[Progressive2020]

9. I Agree

But MSNBC might see it as too partisan a move. I think Franken should maybe have his own National Radio Show like he did back in the Air America days. Being separate from a network like MSNBC could allow him to do real comedy and real politics, without having to restrain himself.

He is not really a journalist. He is a comedian/entertainer and politician . The Right-Wingers have their own crazy Radio Culture. We could use a sane, smart, and funny Progressive like Franken on Talk Radio to fight back against these whacky right-wingers.

14. Unfortunately Conservatives Own The Airwaves And Don't Let Progressive Voices Be Heard

Ever.

[forgotmylogin]

18. Netflix has been producing a lot of stand-up specials.

I'd love to see him perhaps go on there with a raucous political one-nighter and tell his own story. As stated, he isn't hurting for money, so he's perfectly justified in taking a long break until he feels like coming back.

I'd love to see him write more books, perhaps start a New Yorker column (or some other highbrow magazine), and maybe host SNL at some point if he'd like!

10. Franken resigned for a reason

and that reason should prevent him from seeking a forum on MSNBC.

[PaulX2]

13. Roger Stone Hit Job?

Hugging?

I support Al.

[mythology]

32. You misspelled groping

Franken himself admitted he behaved poorly towards women. Intentionally understating what Franken was accused of doesn't actually change matters.

[wellst0nev0ter]

33. No, he admitted there were women

who said he made them uncomfortable.

Three accusers are lying trumpanzees

Four were anonymous accusers that can't be proven

One was someone who accused Franken of holding her waist.

Franken was given a raw deal.

[LakeArenal]

16. What? Please explain....

And exactly why should he be.. what... banished from the political arena? Serve a sentence of banishment?

And should the public overwhelmingly re-elect him to political office?

[BannonsLiver]

19. ...

[RhodeIslandOne]

20. Funny how as soon as he resigned all the accusers disappeared

[SammyWinstonJack]

23. Right?

[orleans]

21. .....

[Skittles]

24. political hit job?

shame on the people who fell for that crap

[CTyankee]

27. time to let it go and let his voice be heard.

MSNBC is a major political influence at this time and Franken needs to be a voice in it.

We need all hands on deck to fight that monster in the White House.

[sdfernando]

28. He did resign for a reason....

but not for the reason you think.

[Honeycombe8]

11. I doubt they would or that Franken would do it. Maybe on an occasional basis like Ronnie Reagan.nt

[George II]

12. That would be great..."I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!"

[a kennedy]

15. Oh no........here is where hell make more fans, and I dont mean fans of his comedy.....

although he was a gawd of it. But his political genius is GOING TO BE DISCOVERED. Al Franken.

[PaulX2]

22. I Have Done And Said Really Stupid Things In My Life

And would make a very good Senator, fighting for the little guy with all my stuff.

The punishments should fit the crimes.

Let the one with no sin toss the first stone.

(crickets)

[Progressive dog]

25. They have no comedy shows on MSNBC

that I know of.

[malaise]

26. Wonderful

H was set up

[Awsi Dooger]

29. Exponentially more valuable on CNN

I have no idea why no one wants to acknowledge that CNN holds many multiples the weight of MSNBC.

Go to any site where right wingers post. There are multiple daily threads railing against CNN. Scared threads because they know that network influences moderates and independents. Those right wingers don't mention MSNBC at all, except to occasionally laugh at something.

[MoonRiver]

30. Great idea!

[Achilleaze]
