4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not really the "Best Of ... ", September 23, 2004

I love the Al Franken Show (formerly the O'Franken Factor). When I heard they were putting out a CD, I could think of a lot of funny bits I wanted to be on it. Unfortunately, they didn't all make it!

This is a decent CD, but I think they missed some really funny stuff, and put sone not-so-funny stuff on the disc. Take the "Oy-oy-oy Show" for example. I love the "Oy-oy-oy Show," but the specific "Show" they put on the disc is far from the funniest. And where are any of the "Countering Hannity's Lies" segements? At least one should have made it.

Still, we get "My Drugs Are Red, White, and Blue," "Mission Accomplished," the hilarious Bebe Nueworth impersonation of Ann Coulter, and the best Condi Rice impression ever ("But I'm a RUSSIA expert!"). So overall, it's good to have a Franken CD ... especially in the car, since I can only listen to AAR via the Internet.

It's just a guess, but I'm willing to bet dollars to doughnuts that "R. Reeves" below hasn't listened to this CD ... and probably doesn't listen to Air America, either. Honestly, this is a 3 1/2 star CD, but I rounded up to counter his ignorant "review."

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny... and factual, September 21, 2004

As a regular listener at airamericaradio.com, I was familiar with some of the material presented on this disc. It makes an excellent gift for those who aren't fortunate enough to have access to the show, or for those who stubbornly refuse to listen to both sides of the debate.

The track "Flippity-Floppity" is particularly insightful, outlining the many issues George W. Bush has flip-flopped on. It should be required listening for people who have been led to believe that Bush is a "straight-shooter."

A wonderful effort by Al Franken and Katherine Lanpher!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious and truthful, September 22, 2004

Someone once asked why most liberal commentators were comedians... my response is ... how can they not be?!

Frankin's work here is his best stuff since the early Saturday Night Live Days. Good radio show too.
