A little while back I called Mike Gallagher a “third-rate talk show host” after hearing his anti-blogger radio screed.
Well, Gallagher has since apologized for his comments. And while I still find him a third-rate talk show host, at least he’s a third-rate talk show host with a bit of class.
Unlike, say, Al Franken—who, so far as I can tell, is a third-rate talk show host with glasses.

Don’t you dare rate me the same as some McChimpyHilterBush wannabe talk radio drone. If I can’t be second rate, I wanna be fourth rate. And just so we’re clear I have just as little class as anyone you could name *and* glasses. It’s not an either-or thing.
I was gonna buy a big box of couth and wrap it with a pretty bow for AlFranken’s next birthday, cause he sure could use it. A friend suggested I get him a clue, but I figured he’d just put it down and then forget where he left it.
How long is the Air America crappola going to last?
Jeff,

You gotta do something or lazy asses like me will never be able to trust your links again!
Sorry. Fixed.
Besides glasses, Al Franken has something else Gallagher does not. A chin.
