Air(head) America:

So I’m listening to Air America Radio on the way home from the gym where the Al Franken Show is broadcasting live from the dedication of the Bill Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock. Katherine Lanpher, Franken’s co-host annnounces that Bono will be speaking. Except she keeps pronouncing it “Bone-o” as if U2 is headed up by a cocker spaniel. Hey Katherine, it’s pronounced “Bon-o.” He’s only the most famous singer in the world. If you can’t remember that, just call him Paul. That’s his real name. But christ, man, isn’t there anyone under 50 in the Air America control room who tell Lanpher that she sounds like an idiot?

  1. I downloaded (a podcast, actually!) Al Franken’s show from the other day as well as the one with Janeane Garofalo (they had Sean Hannity on!), and I was left very disappointed. Air America, as far as I can tell, is just obnoxious and stupid talk radio from the left instead of the right. Is this what progressive people want to do, sink to the level of the moronic right wingers? Bah! Gimme CBC!
