Like I said Earlier

That is what is lacking from liberal talk radio... it's not entertaining.

Al Franken was a real funny guy on Saturday Night Live and when he did 
stand up, but on Air America he forgot apparently how to be 
entertaining  In fact that seems to be Air America's biggest problem 
isn't the message.... it's the presentation.

So the first problem is that Liberal Talk shows need to learn how to be 
entertaining to compel people to listen, regardless of the message.  
(Don't we have this same compelling programming argument just about 
monthly concerning HD and why it won't work... its the programming)
