Al Franken is a Harvard Graduate?

Question

What are the educational backgrounds of his conservative counterparts? Rush, Hannity.......etc....

Just curious.

No one seems to be providing educational backgrounds. Just barbs.

Answer 1

Limbaugh and Hannity are both college drop-outs. (But so is Bill Gates so it doesn't necessarily prove anything.)

Political commentator, radio host, college drop-out, alleged
closet homosexual, and, as recently revealed, synthetic heroin
drug addict, Rush Hudson Limbaugh III is probably the best
known neocon personality in American radio.

Born in Cape Girardeau, MO, in 1951, Limbaugh spent many of
his formative years pursuing a career in radio.

After using his pilonidal cyst - a congenital birth defect - to
avoid military service in the Vietnam War, Limbaugh briefly
worked for radio stations in Pittsburgh, PA and Kansas City,
MO. Fired from both jobs, he worked as a wiener salesman for
the KC Royals baseball franchise, eventually slithering back into
the radio business.

In 1971 Limbaugh attended Southeastern Missouri University,
where, according to reports, he had a brief but heated affair
with Elliot Sanders. So gay is Limbaugh, guarantees Sanders,
that, "none of his marriages was ever consummated."

Many of Limbaugh's fans staunchly deny the man's alleged
homosexuality, and Limbaugh himself says the rumors are
politically motivated lies. However, one is forced to doubt
Limbaugh, who has a history of denying and balking at rumors
that are later revealed to be true. His pilonidal cyst, his
pseudonymous career in Pittsburgh radio, and his addiction to
Oxycontin are all facts which Limbaugh initially denied or
concealed.

After more failed stints with Missouri radio stations Limbaugh
moved to Sacramento, CA, where he met and became "friends"
with Norm Woodruff, a flamboyant, openly gay man with a
great deal of influence in the local radio scene. Woodruff, who
mentored Limbaugh in the ways of affluence and elitism (traits
Rush mocks today), would later died of AIDS.

Through his ties to Woodruff Limbaugh was given Morton
Downey, Jr.'s spot on KFBK News Talk 1530 a.m. Within
twelve months Limbaugh had become the most popular radio
personality in Sacramento. In 1988 he signed on with EFM
Media Management, working from New York City.

For a short while Limbaugh plateaued, until the success and
enormous popularity of a Democratic president provided him
with a reason to whine.

The popularity and charisma of President Clinton enabled
Limbaugh's hate-filled show to appeal to millions of bitter
American conservatives. Limbaugh's unique combination of
prevarication and histrionics provided a sense of unity for
otherwise incompatible demographics, such as Klansmen and
Wall Street stock brokers.

By the mid-90's Limbaugh's promoters had co-opted his show
to enough nationwide syndicates to claim Limbaugh was the
"most popular radio personality" in the country. Technically this
was false. However, the free handout out of Limbaugh's show
to any station that wanted it resulted in Limbaugh being the
most listened-to man on a.m. radio.

Inspired by Clinton-induced vitriol, Limbaugh paid a ghostwriter
to author for him See, I Told You So (1992), Nanny Nanny,
Boo Boo (1993), and I'm Rubber. You're Glue. Whatever You
Say Bounces off Me and Sticks to You (1994).

After miserably failing on television, Limbaugh spiraled into
depression, eventually becoming addicted to pain pills
prescribed to him for his pilonidal cyst (a.k.a. "Butt Boil"). For
nearly eight years Limbaugh abused Hydrocodone, a synthetic,
stronger version of heroin.

In effect, Limbaugh spent nearly a decade stoned off his
bleeding backside, and ultimately built up his tolerance to levels
requiring dozens of pills per day in order to, as Limbaugh once
confided in his maid, "get my buzz on."

A textbook example of the damning effects of drug abuse,
Limbaugh's addiction precipitated a swift drop in weight,
deafness in both ears, and a marked decline in mental faculties.
He also became increasingly paranoid - requiring his provider to
meet him at night behind restaurants, next to dumpsters,
where he'd hand over cigar boxes stuffed with "cabbage" (cash)
in exchange for some "little baby blues" (pills). Limbaugh's
desperation peaked in 2003, when he groped his provider in an
attempt to check her for a wire tap.

By late 2003 the whole world knew of Limbaugh's drug
addiction, though by virtue of their lack of character the
majority of his fan base remained loyal listeners. Limbaugh's
show remained popular, despite the rapid rise of Liberal Talk
Show host Al Franken and the dogged attempts by the Bush
administration to shut down long time talk show staple Howard
Stern.

In May 2004 Rush's third wife, Marta, grew tired of never
having sex with her allegedly closeted homosexual of a
husband, and so asked for a divorce. Limbaugh complied after his desperate wife agreed to never reveal the true nature of Rush's sexual perversion.

Answer 2

calififiainfidel, you should talk seeing who governor of California is. Al Franken is a very intelligent person who actually earned his degree from Harvard, unlike the Crawford idiot who had his daddy buy him a degree. I am from Minnesota (the greatest state in the union), and proudly voted for Al Franken. I think he'll make an excellent Senator, unlike that corrupt scum sucking New York lawyer who is currently infesting that Senate seat. The only reason Broadway Norm got was because the great Senator, Paul Wellstone, was assassinates two weeks before the election. Most likely Poppy Bush and Coleman were behind the assassination. And you make light of our choice. How many sun baked brains did it take for Cali to elect the Governator? If you all like corrupt self-serving New York lawyers, then we Minnesotans would be more than happy to send you Broadway Norm Coleman.

Answer 3

Rush dropped out of community college and i know this only because I hate the conservative spiel that drools out of his liberal mouth and confront Idiot Conservatives with Rush facts . He seems to be there leader and provides them with so much false information that they accept as truth .
Consider the source is what I say .
The man is an admitted drug abuser who only sought help after he was arrested . Would not a conservative look at the fact that he was getting his pills from the maid ,and seek help long before then .
He has divorced three times now and had Viagra with him on a trip to the Islands of Florida with no wife . Sounds like he is determined to have sex out side of marriage to me .
Family values begin with a strong character and moral convictions which Rush does not have in the slightest. Yes some liberals like Al Franken oh and Lewis Black have gone to some well known schools of higher learning . Liberals to be sure and top political Satirists .Why do liberals get such a bad revue from the so called liberal press . Could the liberal press really be not so liberal after all .

Answer 4

Didn't Rush attend a pharmaceutical school? Illiterate shrub graduated Yale. Indeed in the goddess all is possible.

Answer 5

I think you'd be insulting both Limbaugh and Franken to call either of them a counterpart to the other.

Answer 6

He did? Affirmative action probably, because he sure didn't learn anything.

Any body with common sense, including Rush and Hannity, is smarter than that man.

Answer 7

I know hundreds of educated fools that couldn't find their azz with a funnel,what's your point ??

Answer 8

Ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh, that explains it.

Answer 9

THUMBS DOWN DEMOCRAT
