Al Franken is a lunatic. I have listened to him before. I think Michael Savage is a genius. I dont think it has anything to do with having an open mind. Honestly, i think people retain the information they want to hear. There are very few moderates and I think the moderates that exist are not heavily into politics like you and I. I will continue to listen to Michael Savage and you will continue to listen to Al Franken. That is the way it is.
