   Don’t know, I can’t shake the feeling that you’re trying to anesthetize the way we feel.

   Don’t worry, Kermit. It’s only inches on the reel to reel.

   Kermit, Kemit, Kermit: Franken was only a single fool, so D- on that witty remark.(He did have better guests per airtime hour than nearly everyone else). But the balance is still the same – 9 well spoken fools to 1 actual thinker, and what they’ll say is only a guess to them (the audience knows before they turn on the radio, and typically that’s why they do).

   But ya gotta admit, it’s just so much more exciting with that microphone and no one’s face to read a rreaction in, no one interuupting, imagining all the influence your having, (compared to holding forth down at the bar).
