Nick Coleman on the radio
Tom Elko from Curly Tails sent me a note about Strib columnist Nick Coleman's new morning radio show on Minnesota's Air America affliate (His show preempts Morning Sedition).
This ought to raise some wingnuts' blood pressure. For that reason, if no other, I find this amusing. Hopefully, no one pops a vein.
Update: For all the people finding this who are actually looking for Nick Coleman's radio show, please go to the Air America Minnesota website.

ROTFLMAO!
You knuckleheads really are gluttons for punishment.
Forget for the moment that he's an idiot that can't even keep his own bs straight, have you ever actually heard Coleman's voice? Not even a moonbat could endure that pompus, nasal self important drone for long.
In comparison, Al Franken has a smooth delivery; I give him 3 months tops.
But 'till then, I personally hope to have many opportunities to rip him to shreds..and I know he won't dissapoint.
Oh, Swiftee, you don't even click through to read the referenced post.
"I do not like his voice, which is kind of important for radio, and, as Mark pointed out to me, he's not a very good reporter."
I haven't heard him and I don't listen to talk radio, so God-willing, I won't.
My interest in his show is entirely based on the possiblity that one of you crazies will have a coronary.
Have any of you listen to Air America radio. It's bad stuff man, and i'm not talking about the context. Most radio personalities got there name from radio. AAR hired a bunch of already known people to do a radio show and It is awful.

Whether or not it's good or bad is fairly subjective, but many of the personalities that are on Air America do have a radio background. A few of the more well-known people like Al Franken, Janeane Garofalo and Chuck D obviously don't have a radio background, but Mark Riley from Morning Sedition, Rachel Maddow from Unfiltered, Katherine Lanpher from the Al Franken Show, Randi Rhodes, Mike Malloy, Laura Flanders, Ed Shultz (who isn't part of Air America per se, but is featured on the station here in MN), etc. have all been radio people. Actually I remember hearing Ed Shultz on the radio up in Fargo back in the days when he used to be a conservative.
Personally, I don't think Air America's content is any worse than that of any other political talk radio stations - I've listened to our two local conservative stations from time to time and though I don't agree with most of the content, some of the personalities are engaging and others make me want to chew on tinfoil. The same goes for Air America, though in this particular case, I'd swap tinfoil for something like... nicotine gum.
I think Ryan has it about right. Humor has been used effectively by AAR and to good effect. The right-leaning blogs that have so far addressed Coleman's show have been cackling that it'll be a train wreck with a bounty of material to slam the left with. I think those responses are fairly typical of wingnuts who think they're the first people to have done anything, ever. I mean, when I listen to Rush Limbaugh, I think its a train wreck with a bounty of noxious material which requires a healthy dose of hydrocodone to absorb. Cackle, cackle. Fact of the matter is that 950 AM has access to big numbers in a major media market.
If the Powerline guys were offered a radio show under similar circumstances, what do you think they'd do?
The Powerline boys ALREADY have a show...along with the rest of the Wingnuts...Saturdays on AM1280
