You forgot Bill Oreilly. They're both radicals in their own league imv. Both laughable.
Speaking of .... this is a topic i wanted to bring up long ago, but never go around to.
Okay, Al Frankin and Bill O'Reilly aren't so ... friendly with each other. In fact, they basically don't like each other. Both recently published books. Franken's book is
Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right. O'Reilly's book is called
Who's Looking Out for You?
Both were interviewed on
Fresh Air hosted by Terry Gross on
NPR. Franken was interviewed first as his book came out first, O'Reilly was interviewed about a month later.
Anyway, I found the interviews very interesting. I was a little biased prior to each one. I kind of sided with Franken initially because he was on Saturday Night Live and I had a general dislike for O'Reilly. The dislike for O'Reilly was not founded, necessarily, since I really do'nt know much about him at all.
But after listening to both interviews (both of which can be downloaded from NPR.org), I realized my views were skewed and I pretty much lost all respect for Franken. I rather like O'Reilly and some of the ways he thinks.
Anyway, just thought I'd share. I don't know if this is need for a nother thread or not.
