Lets all email Franken and ask.....

[dennis4868]

him to repeat his "on the airplane with Barbara Bush story" just one more time....That was the entire Kitty Kelley interview.....horrible!

[in_cog_ni_to]

1. I really wish he would have told that story on his own time.

Not Kitty's. :(

[TrustingDog]

2. is it over?

[nostamj]

4. Over? it never started...

it was just AL talking about HIMSELF. pathetic. KK must be PISSED AS HELL for having her time wasted.

Matt Lauer was MUCH better... that give you a clue???

[TrustingDog]

5. I turned it off about 5 mins ago or so... is it 'officially' over?

between the Al and all the commercials, there was no interview.

What interview?

[TrustingDog]

3. I like Al, but I really wanted to throttle the bastard today.

and yeah, you could tell Kitty was Thrilled to be allowed to squeak in a uhhuh once in a while.

out of 10 interview:
2/10

reread your interviewer notes there, pal Al.

[K-W]

6. I get the feeling he didnt want her to talk.

I dont think they were comfortable with her on the show.

[TrustingDog]

7. that's obvious, but why invite her then? n;t

[K-W]

10. Exactly, it sounded to me like they had a big discussion over it

and decided to have her on, but were still overly cautious. They should have either had her on to talk, or not had her on period.

[dennis4868]

13. I get the feeling he didnt want her to talk

then why did Franken bring her on his show? But you are right, from the beginning I got the feeling he was uncomfortable with her and was trying to play four corners defense and talk as much as possible till the clock ran out of time....do you think Hannity would be uncomfortable of good old Kitty if she had aa anti Kerry book out there and he was interviewing her....this is the problem with libs....they are not hard hitting and never go for the kill....

I think we need a new party...the progressive party that takes no proisoners and will never put up with the republican party bullshit....it is going to happen one day soon....the dems vote in favor of a resolution that ties 911 to Iraq? Are you kidding me? Enough of the dem party....they are yesterday's news...time for a new party that puts the country above party and fights to the death for that!

[Shopaholic]

8. Well how pathetic is that?

That they were tiptoeing around with her--I mean, aren't they supposed to be the Liberal Radio Network? Shouldn't they be reading chunks of this book on-air?

[K-W]

11. Not everyone thinks being liberal is about spreading dirt and gossip.

I think Katherine was very against it.

[truthspeaker]

12. And that's why we keep losing elections.

9. An awful lot of misplaced anger on DU about this

I dunno. I'm not saying that the interview deserved a Pulitzer Prize or anything, but if we're going to rise up in angst and organize an e-mail campaign against someone, this probably isn't the right choice.

We're less than 50 days until the election. Focus here, folks, focus. There are battles of greater urgency to fight.
