Al Franken finally gets hooked up with a radio show:
This ends a year of speculation about whether Franken would jump into radio. “Our long national nightmare is over,” said Franken. “I�ve signed.”
“My first priority is to get sued by a right wing jerk in order to generate interest in my new show, The O�Franken Factor,” Franken said. “Our hope is to do drug-free talk radio, although I understand it�s never been done.”
“Quite simply, my plan is to alter the political landscape, drive this radical right-wing president from office and stand as a beacon for ordinary Americans who work hard and play by the rules. Short of that, I�d just like to get on in Albany,” added Franken.
I’ll probably have to connect by Internet or satellite radio if I ever want to listen in. The odds of a Knoxville radio featuring liberal programming are only slightly greater than them offering me a show.
Come on, man. Buy a van and a transmitter. Didn’t you ever see “Pump Up the Volume”?!?
