Franken is definitely not an attack artist - it isn't in his character as far as I can see.
Randi just gets worked up, but she doesn't generally seem wrong and I haven't heard any cheap shots and I do listen regularly.
We posture as apostles of fair play, as good sportsmen, as professional knights-errant-- and we throw beer bottles at the umpire when he refuses to cheat for our side...We save the black-and-tan republics from their native [statesmen]--and flood them with "deserving" democrats of our own. We deafen the world with our whoops for liberty--and submit to laws that destroy our most sacred rights...We play policeman and Sunday-school superintendent to half of Christendom--and lynch a darky every two days in our own backyard.

wanted bush and cheney assasinated
wanted to thank the last 12 men that raped her rather than thank rumsfeld. Dont get me wrong I love listening to randi, wish I could get her locally. When I was in west palm I cought her show daily. She is much more "offensive" than imus if scorn, irony and sarcasm is now deemed offensive.
thanx,
bill

Franken on same topic
"I just want to go on record as saying that you should never, ever, execute a sitting president".

No she wondered why his father didn't want him rubbed out
because he was as competent as Fredo. You also never hear an apology like this out of any of the people on the list above: "[My apology] is sincere. I feel bad that anybody would feel threatened by comedy. That's one thing, but I also feel bad that it wasn't funny. And I also feel bad that there could be a perception that I would be advocating violence against anybody, let alone the president of the United States of America. It's no secret that I think he's a terrible president, but I don't think that anybody should have violence advocated against them in any way, shape or form ever! ... That [skit] will never see the light of day again. It was bad."

I prefer listening to Ed Schultz. Seamus

I havnt heard her much in the past 3 years
When I lived in west palm beach I listened daily. She has a great delivery stype and is extremely sharp. If it wasnt for her there would not have been any florida recount battle in 2000, she started the whole thing with her show at 3 pm day of the election and was able to get leiberman on the air immediately to listen to the callers who had problems with the ballot. That was the day I voted for dogcatcher and no other race.
thanx,
bill

I have a love hate relationship with her show
I enjoy her show but I find I get too agitated when I listen to her. There is also something about her voice that is just a tad bit too shrill for me. Her intros and skits push the limit for me.
I wasn't aware of her role in 2000, I wasn't listening to her then.

links would be appreciated
Since many of those mentioned in this thread are not available over the public airwaves where I'm at, seeing a record of what they said would go a long way in proving your point.

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow
