Now they have the brilliant, talks-out-of-his-ass Neal Boortz explain why liberals can't make it on talk radio.

I can't believe none of the stalwart liberals at the site mentioned Franken's brilliant takedown of Boortz when he made a similar argument on CNN and used a totally false story about Franken as evidence.

Here's the post:

This isn't the first time Boortz has explained why liberals can't make it on the radio.

The first time was when he explained on CNN how he invited Al Franken to guest-host his show, and how Franken refused because he wouldn't be able to control the phone lines.

Only thing is, Boortz never made the offer to Franken.

After the network launched, Boortz appeared on Franken's show and
Franken asked him about the comment. Boortz said "if you're reading
from a transcript, that's wrong." When Franken pointed out "in context
it doesn't make sense as anything else," Boortz responded "Hey, Al,
don't get fixated on that, it's an error in the transcript or
something. I've never asked you to host the show."

Franken later dug up the actual clip from the show, so he
invited Boortz back and played that, along with Boortz's previous
comments. The clip showed the transcript was accurate, so Boortz
responded "Why are you so fixated on this, Al?" Al explained that he
takes it seriously when someone lies, especially when they lie about
him, and then lie again to cover it up. "Al, get over it," Boortz
retorted.
