then he's had to retreat into being a right-wing talkshow mouthpiece.
Those

a big mouth.

Oh..like Al Franken...

That's a perfect example of what I'm talking about. Franken failed at hate
radio because liberals (and us moderates) don't go for that crap. That's the
province of the resentful right, the malcontents who know that their
miserable lives must be *somebody's* fault, and the talk shows feed their
bitterness with perfect pitch. It's like mother's milk to them.

....or Michael Moore?..

Like Franken, he used to be funny. Now he's not, and, as with Franken, he's
finding that the politics of resentment has no legs with the left.
