Anyone listening to Al Franken's "Overconfidence Theater"?

[CatWoman]

:rofl:

[Beelzebud]

1. I am. This is great! Much better than Thom Hartmann's doom and gloom edition today.

[Beelzebud]

4. Mecaca! What the HELL was I thinking?!?!

I'm an idiot! A jewish idiot, at that!

LOL

Everyone hates me because I'm a mean, racist, idiot!

[springhill]

15. Right.

While Thom Hartmann is making sure the masses are aware of systematic voter suppression and fraud and making sure the people are aware so they can rise up and protest if it happens AGAIN, Franken is doing his comedy routine. I'll take the uplifting Thom Hartmann, who all morning has been very empowering, rather than the doom and gloom as you describe it.

[Beelzebud]

16. To each his own. Hartmann was just bumming me out.

Today is stressful enough.

[rodeodance]

2. yes, it is a HOOT.

[lazyriver]

3. Oh yeah, it's great!

"Macaca...WHAT was I thinking"

Too funny.

[Beelzebud]

5. The Allen one is GREAT! LOL LOL LOL

[wryter2000]

6. Yup

Funny as all hell.

[jean]

7. yes - really enjoying the humor today

[CatWoman]

8. and this evening, starting at 7

Rachel Maddow, Janeane, Chuck D and the Young Turks will all be on, providing election results.

[jean]

9. I'm hoping Air America Minnesota is going to carry it - we don't get

Rachel Maddow here anymore, and I miss her bright mind.

[CatWoman]

11. did you know she was a Rhodes Scholar?

[NYCGirl]

12. She has a doctorate in Political Science. Cool, eh? NT

[jean]

13. Yes. She is "Dr. Maddow" also.

[myrna minx]

19. I think it will be the Minnesota Matters guys tonight.

I recall AAM primarily broadcast local programming during the 2004 election. I miss Rachel too, so I hope they cut away to her from time to time.

[jean]

20. ya, I think you're right myrna.

[malaise]

10. It's hysterically funny

I like the concession speeches.:rofl: :rofl: The real ones willbe even more fun.:popcorn:

[jean]

14. Al asked that everyone TAPE local concession speeches, because he

doesn't think CNN will cover all of them.

[Last Stand]

17. Stopped listening after he completely IGNORED voter fraud again in 04.

Wouldn't even allow the subject to be debated. Just dismissed the whole notion and didn't let the subject on the air. Very Un-Democratic.

[jean]

18. The whole premise of Overconfidence Theater is election theft by Repub operatives - - -

take a listen and see.

"Overconfidence Theater: Our biennial theatrical tribute to Democrat's capacity to celebrate while Republican operatives literally steal the election. Today’s Overconfidence Theater stars the Not Ready for Talk Radio Players and takes a light-hearted look at that election night ritual, the concession speech."
